    Hi -

    I'm beginning the process of planning a physical server migration.

    Due to our wildly volatile environment, we require physical database servers w/ data residing on a flash appliance.

    Is there anyone running SQL 2014 on an HP Superdome 2?

    Any information you can provide is appreciated.

    Isn't that an Intel Itanium 9500 processor thingy?

    Yes, can leverage 256 (cores) across XX amount of blades.

    There isn't much information about the server running SQL Server.

    Simply wondering if anyone has experience with the server(s).

    I don't...but found this detailed white paper on setting up Windows server 2012 R2/SQL Server 2014 with the recommended settings on a HP Superdome X server.

    I hope this helps.

    Microsoft ended the support for the Itanium architecture back in 2010, last versions supported were 2008R2 Windows Server and 2008R2 SQL Server. Superdome X uses the newer Xeon processors, totally different architecture than Superdome-2
