SAP applications on HP-UX after 2008

In December 2007 SAP informed all SAP and HP customers on upcoming changes for SAP solutions on HP 9000 (PA-RISC) platform taking place in 2009. From January 1, 2009 onwards, SAP will not release any new versions of SAP applications based on the HP 9000 (PA-RISC) platform.

In collaboration SAP and HP will continue to support all new SAP releases on our HP Integrity HP-UX platform. In addition HP continues to support your current environment on the HP 9000 platform for HP-UX 11i v1, v2, and v3 through December 31, 2013. HP will support you and provide a clear and smooth transition plan to the value and performance provided by our industry-leading line of the HP Integrity servers.

Why HP?

As HP delivers data compatibility and a common release of the HP-UX 11i operating environment on both HP 9000 and HP Integrity platforms, the smooth and fast transfer to HP Integrity servers requires no data migration. Transition can often take hours instead of days.
An infrastructure can take advantage of new SAP functionality—Unicode, SAP NetWeaver®, Duet™—with more computing power and storage capacity to meet higher performance needs and growing data volume for newer SAP versions.
Unique HP Serviceguard Extension for SAP environments provides stability before, during and after transitioning to the Integrity platform.
Virtualization technology effectively distributes workloads across servers and storage, relieving stressed resources and maximizing underutilized resources, increases server utilization and provides more efficient operations while reducing your overall IT expense.
A standards-based architecture, integrated management solutions and comprehensive HP StorageWorks offerings are fully developed to help the user.
Additionally, through utilization of the HP BTO Software portfolio, we can provide added peace of mind that your SAP applications will function and perform as expected once in your new environment, on time and on budget--giving you end-end support that no other vendor can provide.

HP offers full service and support for all servers, storage and client devices.
