HP Upgrades Integrity Servers, Speeds Software Deployment on HP-UX Operating System

HP has enhanced its HP Integrity server line and HP-UX 11i operating environment with significant capacity, virtualization and management upgrades. The enhancements offer customers greater server capacity as well as faster deployment of enterprise software within an HP Virtual Server Environment (VSE) running on the HP-UX 11i operating system – some virtualization projects can be brought online in less than half the time. The greater server capacity is a result of HP’s new chipset that can increase the HP Integrity server’s ability to handle complex workloads by up to 30 percent. The rollout follows HP’s recent announcement of increased support for HP Integrity servers.

“The global market opportunity for the replacement of RISC and CISC-based server environments in existence today is nearly a $24 billion proposition, (1) and one that vendors are attacking fiercely,” said Andrew Butler, vice president and distinguished analyst, Gartner. “Vendors that can approach customers with enhanced system capabilities that speak to today’s need for sophisticated virtualization, management tools and capacity boosts are taking a step in the right direction.”

HP rounded out the offering with solutions for greater HP-UX 11i disaster-tolerance and security capabilities, new configuration options for HP Integrity NonStop servers and new HP-UX 11i management tools to simplify data center operations. “With a growing, highly satisfied customer base and an ecosystem of more than 7,400 applications, HP Integrity server solutions are meeting the imperatives of demanding, mission-critical environments,” said Rich Marcello, senior vice president and general manager, Business Critical Servers, HP. “Today’s announcement is another step towards helping customers achieve their IT requirements of driving down the total cost of ownership while increasing return on IT investment.”
