This paper depicts costs savings achieved by replacing a single HP-UX 9000 server with a HP-UX Integrity server. The results from 232 customer surveys show that the majority of companies view Integrity servers to be as good, or better, than HP 9000 servers. This study also shows that HP-UX on Integrity is just as easy to manage and as reliable as HP-UX on HP 9000.

This paper highlights the customer savings that can be achieved when consolidating workloads running on HP 9000 servers with HP-UX on Integrity server with HP-UX 11i v3, with savings attributable to the features of HP-UX 11i v3, HP-UX 11i virtualization technologies and the power of today’s Integrity blade and rackmount servers.
In this study, 72% of respondents surveyed indicated that they will likely purchase one or more Integrity servers by December 2008 specifically to implement server virtualization.

See the value of virtualization to HP-UX 11i users

Virtualization gives you the ability to pool and share computing resources automatically according to business needs. That optimizes utilization, and getting more from less in turn lowers TCO.

Customers tell us they value the improved time-to-solution most: virtualized machines—whether vPars or Virtual Machines—are usually available to roll out new applications. That means you buy a new server when you need the capacity, not because you need an isolated system for a new application. That shortens time-to-solution by the length of your system purchasing cycle. That's improved ROI.

Turn virtualization on to begin your IT cost savings!

See the value of open source software to HP-UX 11i users

The OSRA for Web Services manufacturing case study shows that customers benefit not only from lowered software costs but also from the combined HP-UX 11i on Integrity servers functionality of virtualization and security, running with fully tested open source software.

For HP Tru64 UNIX users                                        

Tru64 UNIX customers can additionally investigate the costs and resulting value of a transition from Tru64 UNIX on AlphaServer systems to HP-UX 11i on either HP 9000 or Integrity servers.
“The analysis shows that in three out of four scenarios studied, using HP Integrity servers to consolidate multiple HP 9000 servers running HP-UX pays for itself in 9 months or less. …due to the high performance and low cost of HP Integrity Blade servers, and the functionality of Integrity Virtual Machine, it is possible to consolidate 8 HP 9000 servers into 2 Integrity Blades and have the consolidation pay for itself in just 5 months."
