Making the Move from HP to Sun's Newest x64 Servers
HP to Sun x64 Migration
Get off the "Itanic" journey and trade up to new Sun Fire Servers
Sun offers an easy alternative to HP ProLiant Xeon, HP Integrity (Itanium) and End Of Lifed HP9000 and AlphaServer customers who want to simplify the management, increase the performance and reliability, improve the security, and the lower the operational costs of their business critical IT infrastructure. As a customer, you have a choice in buying industry standard servers. However, as an end of lifed HP-UX or Tru64 customer you have no future choice but to migrate to HP Integrity servers, with its technology issues, and its limited ISV support and customer adoption. Or as a HP ProLiant customer you may be dealing with the growing cost to operate and maintain your existing systems.
You do have a better choice.
Sun's latest x64 (x86 64-bit) servers, the Sun Fire X2100, X4100, and X4200 servers are the fastest, energy efficient, and reliable servers in their class. These Sun x64 servers provide you a choice of operating systems, including Solaris OS, Linux, and Windows - all supported by Sun. By consolidating your existing IT and web infrastructure onto these servers, you could reduce the number of your HP servers by up to 50%, which could result in;
Up to 56% annual reduction in power and heating costs compared to HP ProLiant servers
Over 1.7 times the performance of comparable HP ProLiant servers (footnote 1)
Over 1.5 times the performance, up to 1/2 the power, at about 2/3 the price of 2-way HP Integrity rx1620-2 and rx2620-2 servers
