HP-UX 11i v3 features an optimised kernel that delivers, on average, 30% faster kernel performance than v2 on the same hardware. Different applications accelerate at different rates depending on how they operate with the kernel, how recently they were compiled, and many other factors – but, in general, optimising and deploying your HP-UX applications on v3 will help to keep them performing at top speed. HP-UX 11i v3 offers additional features that benefit end users, including these:

• Zetabytes of storage – with the ability to handle the explosion of new media types in audio, video, and e-mail to enhance archival capacity and facilitate regulatory compliance
• Volume encryption – offering protection for stored data at rest, constituting a solution unmatched by UNIX competitors.

HP recommends HP-UX 11i v3 on HP Integrity servers as the fastest and most feature-rich HP-UX version going forward, combining extreme business value with very low long-term costs.
