HP has the right solution to meet your needs―offering both flexibility and choice. Our tailored 'Migration Assessments' can provide details on options, for instance, migration to HP-UX 11i, Linux, or Windows OS. In many cases, such as moving from SPARC or POWER environments, tremendous cost savings can be achieved by adopting a 'split tier' environment of ProLiant and Integrity servers running a mix of Windows, Linux and HP-UX 11i.

How do you win?
A new Linux-based HP ProLiant server is a small fraction of what you would pay for on an IBM mainframe running Linux…even if you do not factor in the high costs for maintaining an existing mainframe. Our long-term relationship with both RedHat and Novell include strong executive commitment, strategic engineering collaboration and product support and delivery.

Kimberly-Clark
Kimberly-Clark implemented an SAP business intelligence solution using HP servers, and in the process reduced their mainframe report processing costs by 67 percent, improved query response time by 60 percent, and shaved hours off their nightly load process.
Standardise software/hardware infrastructure by deploying with Windows on standard-based servers
Why choose this path?
You want to move to a more industry-standard platform. HP’s dominance in the Windows market and the 25-year strategic relationship with Microsoft includes engineering, testing, delivering, and supporting Windows environments.
How do you win?
HP is the number one platform of choice for Windows Server solutions, according to IDC’s February 2009 IDC Worldwide Quarterly Server Tracker. And HP enables backward compatibility with UNIX via native UNIX tools for Windows. Also, you are an SAP ERP 4.6 user, moving to the next version of SAP will entail as complex a migration as moving to a totally new platform. Taking advantage of the cost-savings and stability of a Windows ProLiant solution is a wise business choice.
