New OEs deliver today's UNIX more quickly, easily, and cost effectively

HP has been delivering pre-tested and factory-integrated environments for over seven years.  The latest release of HP-UX 11i v3 OEs extends this leading integration simplifying the way you can purchase and deploy the software. The new OEs also now include the full suite of business-critical virtualization software built-in.

Spend more time on your business. This integration decreases deployment time and complexity, simplifies lifetime maintenance, and reduces operations costs by up to 60%*, allowing you to manage a package of 159 software components as one.

No other UNIX vendor combines leadership high availability and virtualization software with its operating system, integrated for out-of-the-box success—the way that HP does with HP-UX 11i v3.

“We’re very pleased with the HP Integrity Solution for Oracle Database. The integration, testing and deployment tools provided by HP cut the time required to install HP-UX 11i v2 and HP Serviceguard Storage Management in preparation for an Oracle Database application by more than 80 percent—specifically reducing it from more than 3 hours down to less than 30 minutes. We’re expecting the same improvement from HP-UX 11i v3. Overall this preparation helps us boost the quality of our database solutions, accelerate our customer deployments and increase customer satisfaction.”
—Joe Ost, Enterprise Account Manager, Technical and Scientific Applications, Inc.

Already an HP-UX 11i customer?

Whether you run today on HP 9000 or on HP Integrity servers, you can benefit from the new OEs.  Support contracts entitle existing customers to upgrade to the new HP-UX 11i v3 OEs—richer sets of software—for no additional cost. That means more for less.

For both platforms, HP announces the ability to mix HP-UX 11i v1, v2 and v3 in vPars within an nPar. That means you can explore HP-UX 11i v3 on your existing HP-UX 11i systems using partitions, in advance of upgrading an entire system or purchasing new hardware.

HP is supporting its partner developer community with the latest versions of HP-UX through the Partner Virtualization Program that delivers automated access to systems and software for members of the DSPP program
