"With Integrity blades and HP-UX 11i v3 supporting our Oracle portal, we've gone from having four stand-alone servers and a mixed operating environment to just two blades and a single operating environment. The blades now occupy a fraction of the data center space and standardizing on HP-UX 11i v3 across our environment has made it much easier and more cost effective to administer our systems."
—Jim Gross, Director of IT Operations, AAR Corporation

HP-UX 11i v3 — integrated by design for your success

The HP-UX 11i v3 advantage: Integrated mission-critical virtualization.

Your success: highest return on your IT investment for the applications critical to your business.

Our integrated-by-design approach ensures that all the technologies that deliver your mission-critical environment are engineered to work together from the bottom up. Let HP ensure it all works together: the UNIX operating system, capacity planning , workload management, security, failover clusters , management tools, file systems, developers' tools, partitioning software, utility pricing - everything it takes to run your operation cost-efficiently while meeting the highest service levels. That lets you focus on pressing matters other than the operating system!

HP-UX 11i v3 OEs: cost savings and increased value

HP simplifies your UNIX operating system experience to reduce your cost and avoid risk, starting with acquisition and deployment. HP offers four Operating Environments for HP-UX 11i, delivering the functionality you need in pre-tested, integrated packages. That's as simple as it gets: a single product to order, install and maintain, versus 150+ piece parts.

Ordering HP-UX 11i software in OE packages can reduce license and support costs up to 74% versus buying individual software products.

HP recommends that HP-UX 11i users running prior releases upgrade to v3 for the highest return on investment among HP-UX 11i versions and compared to other UNIX offerings. Support contracts entitle existing HP-UX 11i users to upgrade to the latest release, including to the new v3 OEs.

Upgrading to the new HP-UX 11i v3 OEs delivers up to 81% more software value, and up to 15% savings in OE support costs, in addition to the possibility of eliminating stand-alone software support costs. HP offers lab-tested best practices for upgrading from prior releases to HP-UX 11i v3.

HP 9000 customers benefit from upgrading to v3, and additionally from consolidating workloads on HP Integrity servers.

Protecting your investment in application software, HP-UX 11i is binary compatible (PDF) across releases and across processor families. Applications running on HP-UX 11.0 and later will run on subsequent releases of HP-UX 11i, including v3 and future HP-UX 11i releases. Applications running on HP 9000 (PA-RISC-based) systems will run on HP Integrity (Itanium-based) servers.

HP also offers a portfolio of proven transition tools including one that lets you simply copy HP 9000 applications and run them on Integrity servers – the simplest move of all, where you don’t even need to find the application’s source code. Multiply the value and the savings with the latest HP-UX 11i v3 systems!

Award-winning services

HP's focus on excellence and simplicity includes servicesone singularly accountable support rep, one contract, and your entire UNIX environment is covered. Already have HP ProLiant servers? Windows? Linux? Solaris? Wrap all your IT in the assurance of HP's award-winning quality services.

Drive down costs—not confidence—in your UNIX operating environment. Run the applications that run your critical workloads on HP-UX 11i v3 on HP Integrity servers.

“HP’s investment in UNIX-level data and application redundancy, online mobility, and system failover with HP-UX 11i v3 combines with Intel’s investment in processor-level RAS features, making HP Integrity servers running HP-UX 11i extremely flexible and reliable for mission-critical workloads.

Our joint work pays real dividends for our mutual customers.”
