Quantifying the Total Cost of Upgrading HP-UX Environments From HP 9000 Servers to HP Integrity Servers

Tags:
microprocessors

Overview HP has been shipping HP 9000 servers with PA-RISC microprocessors since about 1990. Since that time, nearly 100 different models of servers have been introduced ranging from single-CPU entry-level machines to enterprise-class Superdome models that support 128 cores. Today, thousands of companies worldwide rely on HP 9000 servers and the HP-UX operating system as key components of their IT infrastructure. Several years ago HP made a strategic decision to consolidate its high performance server product line by replacing servers based on PA-RISC and Alpha chips with servers based on Intel's Itanium processor. HP's current plans are to continue selling HP 9000 systems until at least December 2008.

HP launches cheapo Unix server

The processors in the new servers can be partitioned, or divided, so the hardware is able to run different applications and operating systems and can accommodate other PA-RISC or Itanium chips. The Unix/RISC 2405 server starts at $4,795, and comes...

Sun to pump up high-end servers

That processor will be a "dual-core" model that packs two processors onto a single slice of silicon, something IBM has with its Power4 chip and HP plans with its PA-RISC 8800 "Mako" chip. Sun will also cut prices on midrange and high-end machines...

IBM and Unix break HP's Windows speed record

In addition, it expects to release systems with 128 HP PA-RISC 8800 processors or 128 Intel Itanium processors in coming months. However, because IBM's system uses 32 processors compared to 64 for the Superdome, owners of machines with the IBM...

HP revs up Itanium ahead of Madison launch

HP has already said it will come out with a version of its Superdome server, originally equipped with HP's PA-RISC chip, which is capable of holding 64, and later 128, Intel Itanium 2 chips. Additionally, HP said the Chrysler Group, a division of...

Third time lucky? Intel unveils latest Itanium

IBM and Sun's RISC (reduced instruction set computing) chips are 64-bit models that can accommodate far more memory than 32-bit designs such as Intel's Xeon and Pentium. These RISC chips power expensive servers but require their own distinct software.

IBM lines up big daddies of Unix servers

HP followed suit with its 64-processor Superdome models, which initially used the company's own PA-RISC chips but which now are also available with Intel's Itanium. The p5-590 has 16 Power5 chips and 32 cores, while the p5-595 has 32 Power5 chips...
