HP also enhanced HP-UX for critical business processes. The new HP-UX 11i v3 capabilities include enhancements to HP Serviceguard and HP virtualization solutions.

This would ensure availability of critical applications with a wider range of storage and databases, including HP LeftHand P4000 storage, Sybase ASE 15.7 and Enterprise DB, using failover protection from HP Serviceguard solutions.

It would also boost server efficiency using HP-UX Virtual Partitions (vPars) software, which allows clients to virtualize mission-critical workloads. Originally available only for HP Superdome, the company’s flagship, high-end HP Integrity server, HP UX vPars is now available across the entire HP Integrity product line to help optimize server resources.

HP would bring a single graphical user interface for HP vPars and HP Integrity Virtual Machines 6.1.

This would optimize resources with increased input/output (I/O) performance for storage-intensive applications, utilizing HP-UX vPars software.

By allowing applications to access up to 2,048 disks per virtual partition, HP-UX vPars software scales to support data-intensive workloads, such as business intelligence and data mining.
