PROGNOSIS Ready for HP's New NonStop Blade Servers
DENVER, July 10 /PRNewswire/ --
Following HP's launch of the industry's first fault-tolerant blade server
running HP NonStop, Integrated Research (ASX: IRI) today announced that its
PROGNOSIS performance monitoring software is ready to support the needs of
customers adopting this new server technology.
The new HP Integrity NonStop NB50000c BladeSystem supports high
transaction volumes with all the advantages of the NonStop platform. These
new systems now offer twice the performance of existing NonStop server
offerings at half the footprint, delivering the lowest total cost of
ownership of any server in its class.
"Management of the HP NonStop server environment is a major part of our
business and we are committed to ongoing support of new technology in this
market," said Ben Berger, PROGNOSIS product manager for HP NonStop and
distributed server product lines.
"Some of our customers handle transactions valued at trillions of dollars
a day, so these NonStop blade servers will be deployed into the most business
critical and complex IT environments. These companies simply cannot tolerate
downtime or reduction in server performance. By supporting this new server
platform, PROGNOSIS will allow companies using this hardware to have the best
NonStop performance management solution available."
Integrated Research has now commenced a Beta program with a number of key
customers, including many world-leading financial exchanges in the US and
Asia.
"We have long used PROGNOSIS to monitor the performance and availability
of our critical applications," said Charles Tang of the Hong Kong Stock
Exchange - a participant in the PROGNOSIS Beta program. "Knowing that we can
continue to rely on PROGNOSIS from day one if we decide to migrate to the new
blade servers is a great comfort."
Support for the new blade servers will be generally available following
successful completion of the Beta program.
