Important information regarding Hewlett-Packard AlphaServers and Integrity
servers
Continued from Did you know?
- HP is committed to supporting the OpenVMS operating system (which is
used on your AlphaServer) for the long term. New releases of OpenVMS for
both the AlphaServer and Integrity platforms are already scheduled through
2010, and support will continue well beyond that date.
- HP Integrity servers utilize the latest Intel technology.
- The OpenVMS operating system is available now for the Integrity family
of servers from HP, providing an easy migration path from the AlphaServer
platform.
- HP Integrity servers protect your investment because they are able to
run the Microsoft Windows operating system, allowing you to continue using
the server after Karmak completes our transition to a Windows-based system.
- Karmak is currently testing the Legend Business System on an Integrity
server in our own in-house Accounting Department.
- The vast majority of Alpha-based OpenVMS applications are able to run on
Integrity servers simply by recompiling and relinking.
- HP offers trade-in when upgrading from AlphaServer to Integrity. Your
existing AlphaServer OpenVMS software license will transfer to Integrity at
no charge (for "equivalent product" with support contract).
- Studies show that OpenVMS running on Integrity servers achieve
industry-leading lows in Total Cost of Ownership (TCO).
- Karmak's strategy of rolling out new modules based on Microsoft Windows
helps extend the life of your AlphaServer or Integrity server running
OpenVMS because as each new Windows-based module is released, the load on
the OpenVMS server is reduced.
- OpenVMS is still alive and kicking, with over 300,000 systems running
OpenVMS, and more than 10 million users. These systems include businesses
that require security and reliable performance, such as hospitals, large
financial institutions, stock exchanges, telephone companies, insurance
companies, government and military installations.
