Executive Summary |
 |
The HP Open Source Integrated Portfolio (HP OSIP) comprises
a range of products and services designed to verify that customers
can successfully realize the cost and feature benefits of adopting
open source software in their IT environments. HP Open Source foundation
components include the base components of an open source-based ecosystem:
HP servers and storage are validated to run the Linux operating system
together with the supported commercial Linux distribution.
HP Open Source Middleware Stacks offer building block applications,
such as the Web Server; technical blueprints, such as this document,
describing how to integrate individual components of a technology
stack; and consulting services to speed the successful implementation
of an open source strategy.
Intended Audience |
|
The intended audience for this document is
enterprise customers who are evaluating or deploying an open source
Web Server on HP ProLiant and HP Integrity servers running Red Hat Enterprise Linux Version 5 (RHEL5).
Scope and Purpose |
|
This blueprint provides technical information
for the implementation of an open source Web Server Middleware Stack.
It covers installation of the initial Linux distribution and middleware
building blocks, integration of the components, and steps for verification
of stack functionality. The software components described in this
paper are tested and validated to run on HP ProLiant and HP Integrity servers and StorageWorks
products.
HP provides quality assurance from extensive integration testing
with open source software and HP hardware so that you can confidently
deploy the complete stack. Once you have completed a successful evaluation,
you have the flexibility to “do it yourself” or get assistance
from HP to incorporate open source stacks into your existing IT infrastructure.
