Calculate the cost of migrating from HP 9000 to HP Integrity
HP Integrity servers = twice the performance of comparable HP 9000 systems
HP Integrity servers = reduction in the number of CPUs / servers required
For example:
8x HP 9000 servers = 4 x HP Integrity servers = 2:1 server reduction
4 x HP Integrity servers + virtualisation = 2 x HP Integrity servers = 4:1 server reduction
If your customers are running an HP-UX environment, calculating the cost of migrating from HP 9000 to HP Integrity is straightforward. Independent research has been undertaken which provides a detailed analysis of the potential benefits of consolidating multiple HP 9000 servers to fewer HP Integrity servers, highlighting the following key results:
- Using HP Integrity servers to consolidate multiple HP 9000 servers running HP-UX pays for itself within a short period of time.
- The vast majority of companies viewed Integrity servers to be just as good or better than HP 9000 servers.
- HP-UX on Integrity is just as easy to manage and reliable as HP-UX on HP 9000.
In summary, any company that has more than a couple of HP 9000 servers installed should seriously consider consolidating these servers into HP Integrity.
