Chapter 2 HP 3000 Hardware Overview
Introduction
The HP 3000 family of scalable computers spans a broad range of
capabilities and capacities to meet specific application needs, from
small workgroup systems to very powerful, central site systems. The HP
3000 900 Series PA-RISC computer family consists of mainframe-class
systems which provide large memory, large I/O configurations, and maximum
performance--and entry and midrange systems which are low cost and
provide the optimum price/performance. The entire HP 3000 family runs
the MPE operating system and provides scalable systems for small work
groups through mainframe-class applications for hundreds of users.

* Larger configurations will be supported in the future.
The HP 3000 900 Series computers are available in two business
configurations. A multiuser system can support many on-line users via
workstations and PCs, and a preconfigured application server can be
utilized for PC-based client-server applications. For detailed
information on HP's Precision Architecture-RISC, please see Appendix A.
