HPE Integrity Reviews

We need to be able to offer our customers continuous service 24/7. We also need to be able to sync between the different methods of banking -- mobile and internet systems -- that we run through data. We're able to do all this with Integrity.

It's quite expensive, so we're considering moving some services to Linux services.

It's for databases and transaction servers in our bank environment.

It's always stable. Our system has a lot of good resiliency, so we have a very good, very stable system with it.

Stable. Of course. Always stable. We have a lot of good resiliency on our systems, so we have a very, very, good and stable system.

It's scalable over a horizontal line, so we're typically adding to the system. If we need to move power control systems, we can just add the additional system and scale up that way.

We're generally satisfied with technical support.

We have other vendors for storage and replication, such as EMC.

The initial setup was relatively complex. We have many systems -- databases, services, application servers, etc. -- which are all connected, so our system is complex.

We implemented it in-house.

• HP-UX stability
• Platform support

It used to be the finest for running Oracle – now mostly serve middle tier.

Intel should announce the product roadmap or HPE should announce HP-UX for Intel X86_64 (HP-UX for Superdome X).

Since 2007.

Integrity blades have very complex hardware diagnostics when compared with non-converged Integrity platforms. Blade system backplane is SPOF.

Not as such.

An eight out of 10. Backline engineers are able to figure out 90% of the issues through logs.

I worked for SUN SPARC and IBM X-Series prior to 2007. It was a job change in about 2007.

Not applicable.

You must have backline active support.

It is about cost benefit analysis. If one needs a system with first class stability that may be an expensive solution, HPE Integrity is a way to go.

• Availability
• Performance

HP used the IA CPU and replaced the PA-RISC. The IA has helped the HPUX perform better and covered all the bits those were exposed with PA-RISC.

Since Intel featured this product as a mainframe class, it should perform closer to a mainframe. Secondly, there should be some initiative regarding bias of Oracle towards HP integrity servers.

I've used it for about eight years.

No issues encountered.

Integrity servers are serving customer very well, but usage has reduced since HP iIntegrity is no longer a favorable platform to run Oracle, as conceived by Telco level customers.

I have been using SUN S6900, HP Proliant and IBM X series servers for SMB and tier 1 and 2 in large corporates. Integrity solutions are vendor specific so support is very specific as well.

It is straightforward.

Except running Oracle on Integrity servers, its ROI is well justified in customer environments. EOSL’s are very justified.

The true benefit of this hardware platform comes with HPUX implementations.
