HP Simplifies Migration for Sun Solaris Customers to More Affordable, Higher-performing HP ProLiant Systems
HP is making it easier for dissatisfied Sun Microsystems server customers to migrate to higher performing, more affordable x86-based HP ProLiant platforms. By expanding certification of the 64-bit version of the Solaris 10 operating system on seven of its existing Intel® Xeon™-based HP ProLiant servers, HP is providing users of Solaris on SPARC-based servers more options than ever for adopting industry-standard computing.
Since 1996, HP has certified various versions of Solaris in both 32- and 64-bit mode on select AMD Opteron™- and Intel Xeon-based HP ProLiant servers. The certifications announced today include the HP ProLiant BL20p G4, BL460c, BL480c, DL360 G5, DL380 G5, DL580 G4 and ML570 G4 servers. HP shipped more than a half million more x86-based servers worldwide than Sun in the third quarter of 2006. In the same period, HP grew its shipments year-over-year by almost two times the entire number of platforms Sun shipped. In addition, HP is the No. 1 provider of UNIX on x86, shipping more than three times the number of UNIX servers on x86 than Sun in the quarter.(1)
HP offers a comprehensive set of automated tools, system trade-ins, financial incentives, migration assistance and integrated support capabilities to help customers migrate from Sun to HP ProLiant, BladeSystem, Integrity and StorageWorks platforms. Since 2004, HP has generated more than $1 billion in revenues from moving Sun customers to HP servers. HP’s robust UNIX operating system, HP-UX 11i, benefits Solaris customers challenged with highly demanding workloads. HP-UX, together with HP Virtual Server Environment and HP Serviceguard, make virtualization fast and easy for mission-critical applications.
