While most
enterprise-class IT environments measure uptime in days, weeks,
or months, customers using OpenVMS environments regularly
characterize uptime in terms of years. HP continues to invest in
OpenVMS on Integrity systems to serve these customers’ needs.
Customers depend on OpenVMS and Integrity servers for the
uncompromising reliability, availability, scalability, and
security these platforms consistently deliver over the long run.
In particular, customers who deploy OpenVMS V8.4 benefit
from:
-
New consolidation opportunities with virtualization, compression, and
standardization enhancements for improved performance and long-term value
-
Improved application performance up to 2x per socket migrating from dual-core
Integrity systems to new Integrity server blades
- Improved resiliency with enhancements in security and up to 100% application
availability in an appropriately configured cluster to keep applications “always
on”
- Simplified management and operating environment (OE) choices with
selection, installation, and management
now significantly easier
OpenVMS 8.4 is available on new Integrity server blades and entry-level rackmount servers.
