Executive summary 
Important: 
This document describes a performance characterization performed 
utilizing the HP 64-bit test harness, which incorporates a Microsoft® Office 
2003 workload.  
Test results cannot be compared directly with the results of tests performed 
using the 32-bit Office XP- or Office 2003-based harness.   
The HP ProLiant BL685c G5 server blade delivers uncompromising performance and expandability in 
a dense form factor. With up to four Quad-Core AMD Opteron™ processors, 64 GB of DDR2 
memory, two hot plug serial hard drives, four integrated network adapters and three I/O expansion 
slots, the HP ProLiant BL685c G5 server blade can support the most demanding enterprise-class 
applications. 
A four-socket
 HP ProLiant BL685c G5 server blade with the AMD Opteron Processor Model 8356 
(2.3 GHz) can provide optimal support for up to the following numbers of users (as described in 
) in a 64-bit HP Server Based Computing (SBC) environment:
 
Heavy Users 
Medium Users 
Light Users 
301 
444 
544 
 
 
Since the kernel memory constraints that limit scalability in a 32-bit HP SBC environment have been 
removed, this performance characterization demonstrates that customers can expect to fully utilize the 
resources of this server in a 64-bit environment, even when running their 32-bit applications.   
Testing performed in March 2008 is described.   
Audience 
This performance characterization is intended primarily for IT professionals planning HP SBC 
solution deployments. The performance and sizing information provided herein is designed to help 
customers estimate the number of HP ProLiant BL685c G5 server blades required for a particular 
environment. 
Introduction 
The HP ProLiant BL685c G5 server blade (shown in Figure 1) is ideal for multi-threaded, multi-tasked 
environments, high-performance computing, and HP SBC.  
Note: 
This server blade is deployed within an HP BladeSystem enclosure. For
