Since 1992, you have relied on Alpha Systems to run your organization. HP ceased accepting orders for new Alpha Systems after April 27, 2007. You now have the option to continue operating your existing systems or transition to HP Integrity systems.
The Alpha RetainTrust (ART) program provides guidance to help you choose the best option and the resources, tools and services to make it successful.
HP Integrity servers are the natural next step for owners of Alpha Systems. Starting with the Intel® Itanium® microprocessor, HP Integrity servers deliver strong performance to handle your most demanding workloads, and provide the flexibility, resilience, and longevity required for growing data centers. Their powerful partitioning, virtualization and workload management capabilities maximize resources and meet stringent service level objectives.
HP offers owners of Alpha Systems a five-stage Transition Process framework that applies proven methods and tools to move to Integrity or other HP enterprise systems: Awareness, Plan, Design, Implement, and Manage.
Explore the Five Phases of the Transition Process to learn what each phase means for your business:
The Alpha RetainTrust Program includes:
» Programs and incentives - Special offers and programs available in your region.
» Excellent products - The final generation of AlphaServer delivers strong performance whether you are upgrading a single system or consolidating
older systems. When your business needs change, you can easily transition to HP Integrity server to enjoy the benefits of a broader workload spectrum, increased flexibility, reliability, and security.
» Strong partner support - HP has partnered with ISVs to provide continued, ongoing support for their applications on AlphaServer, and to ensure your
smooth transition to HP Integrity server. OpenVMS ISV partners are enthusiastically porting their applications to Integrity server and continuing to make new releases available on AlphaServer. A majority
of Tru64 UNIX ISV partners continue to support Tru64 UNIX and have ported their applications to HP-UX 11i on Integrity server. Key applications are now available on Integrity server on both OpenVMS & HP-UX 11i.
» Extensive services and tools - Transition planning, design and implementation tools and services help minimize disruption and cost while adding
business value to your IT environment. These tools help you size the effort involved in moving from your current AlphaServers to HP Integrity servers and leverage the experience of many customers who
have already done so.
» Compelling business practices - Generous trade-in programs extend the value of your investment. HP Financial Services offerings provide
financing and leasing alternatives.
