"An important factor in choosing HP as a preferred vendor was their long-term enterprise systems roadmap, which of course includes Itanium. Due to their joint development with Intel, I trust that HP can provide a smooth transition to the new architecture and a broad Itanium solution set (services, financing, consulting, etc.) enabling us to realize the full benefits of Itanium, including enhanced performance, scalability and multi-OS capabilities that will significantly reduce IT complexity and costs."

"HP-UX Workload Manager helped us to maximize system utilization and reduce our capacity management costs and also helped us allocate resources to multiple Oracle instances. In addition, the integration of HP-UX Workload Manager with MC/Serviceguard helped us to prioritize production database instances on failover."
