Hewlett-Packlard has introduced a new version of the
HP-UX 11i operating system and a new range of HP Integrity servers
to help make mission-critical virtualisation practical for
businesses of all sizes.
The latest release of HP's Unix operating environment, HP-UX 11i
v3, makes virtualisation easier to deploy and delivers
mission-critical virtualisation by combining virtualisation and
mainframe-class availability, said HP.
Also, with HP-UX 11i v3, important applications, including
business intelligence and datawarehousing, are now simpler to
secure and manage.
Additionally, HP has strengthened its HP Integrity server
line-up with a model for BladeSystem c-Class environments and a new
rack-optimised unit, the Integrity rx2660 entry-class server.
The HP Integrity BL860c Server Blade is the first Integrity
model designed for the HP BladeSystem c-Class portfolio, HP's new
blade architecture. And the HP Integrity rx2660 is the
lowest-priced Integrity rack-mount server and the most flexible and
versatile unit in its Unix server class, said HP.
HP claimed the rx2660 beat similar entry-level offerings from
Sun Microsystems on performance when it came to Java application
and Java business workloads.
A base configuration of the HP Integrity BL860c Server Blade has
a starting US list price of $3,827 (£2,015) and is expected to
begin shipping in March. A base configuration of the HP Integrity
rx2660 entry-class server has a starting US list price of $4,931
(£2,600) and is shipping now.
