Until now, MIPS (Microprocessor without Interlocked Pipeline Stages) processors powered the company's high-end NonStop servers.

Announcing this at a media conference here, Pallab Talukdar, director, (enterprise marketing and alliances), HP India, said the new servers would offer more than double the additional performance of current generation systems based on MIPS.

“The server also offers dual and triple modular redundancy which makes it idle for mission-critical applications by reducing downtime substantially,” he said.

The company is planning to target segments like banking and financial services, brokerage and trading houses, government and defense with new servers. In India, HP's main NonStop customers include the Bombay Stock Exchange Ltd, ICICI Bank, State Bank of India, Reliance Infocomm and Tata Teleservices.

Talukdar revealed that the company was in the process of tying its first deal for the new Itanium based NonStop server. He said that the server would be ideal for enterprises dealing with data intensive applications such as OLAP, data warehousing, business intelligence and data storage.

Herbert Zwenger, executive director and GM, NonStop Enterprise division, HP, APAC and Japan said that customers were keen to replace their mainframes with HP's high-end servers thanks to the flexibility and support for open-source software applications.
