HP-UX ON HP INTEGRITY SERVERS AND SUPERDOME 2

CLAIM SUBSTANTIATIONS

Claim: Simplify and unify your IT environment with a common modular architecture and
common management.
Source: HP Converged Infrastructure is built on a next-generation IT architecture based on
standards that combines virtualized compute, storage and networks with facilities into a single
shared-services environment optimized for any workload.
Common Management: Foundation of this is the Matrix operating environment, powered by
Insight Dynamics. Key elements here include Onboard Administrator and iLO3 for systems
management.
Individual systems can be carved up or aggregated together to present a large pool that can be
optimized for a variety of applications.
Common Networking: The common networking paradigm for all systems, (x86 to Superdome)
is Virtual connect.
Common Enclosures: The c3000 and the c7000 are now the common building blocks for all
ProLiant and Integrity servers.
Common Server Architecture
Includes common blades designs and form factors. This means that blades can be
interchanged. This includes storage blades as well.

Claim: Achieve always-on resiliency while reducing downtime costs by up to 70%.
Source: Based on TCO Analysis of a combination of HP Integrity Superdome 2 (16s) database
servers and BL860c (8c) and BL870c (16c) i2 application server blades (8s/32c) vs. IBM
x3850 X5 (2s/16c) and x3250M3 (4c) running commercial Linux and Oracle-DB Enterprise
Edition with RAC.
70% Lower downtime cost than x86 Linux
Source: Based on a HP analysis on the difference of traditional interconnect costs compared
to Virtual Connect FlexFabric solution

Claim: Lower TCO by up to 60% compared to other UNIX and Linux solutions*
Sources:
60 percent lower operating costs due to higher availability advantages.

Lower Total Solution Costs by up to 30% over IBM Power AIX.
Source: based on comparison matches HP BL890c i2 server blades against IBM AIX Power
750. Solution A: 2 x IBM Power 750 Express (4U) POWER7 3.3GHz (3 sockets/24 cores) AIX
6.1 and Oracle-DB Enterprise Edition compared with Solution B: 2x HP Integrity BL890c i2
1.73GHz (8 sockets/32 cores) HP-UX 11i v3 DCOE and Oracle-D Enterprise Edition.
HP Virtual Connect technology lowers TCO by up to 32%
Source: based on the difference of traditional interconnect and adapter power costs compared
to Virtual Connect Flex Fabric solution.
Reduce TCO by up to 50% over previous Integrity systems
Source: based on HP internal analysis of HP Superdome 2 versus prior generation Superdome

Claim: 250 % faster computer performance.

Source: Stuller Customer Case Study. The Superdome 2 server ties into the companys website
and phone service center to support order entry, sales, warehousing, inventory, shipping, and
manufacturing processes and to keep goods and services flowing through company offices in
the United States, Mexico, Canada, and China. Application performance is 250% better than
previously, while the annual maintenance cost is projected to be lower or equal to the older
platform. Stuller also reduced its processor cores by 40, which in turn, lowers Oracle licensing
fees by 35%.
Claim: With HP9000 Containers, migrate applications from HP9000 to HP Integrity in days
instead of months.
Source: 40% of current issues faced with ARIES deployments will be addressed due to the
Containers solution which will reduce the proof of concept times from months to days based on
engineering labs assessment. For more info, click here:
