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.

• The RAS features at application, file, OS, hardware, and memory levels.
• High I/O throughput of both storage-layer and networking.

I assisted customers with deploying the solution since HP started selling Integrity systems.

No issues encountered.

It's a highly stable environment. The NPAR and VPAR technology combined with HP-UX is a solid solution.

It's got good scalability.

The Integrity series combined with the software layer presents an excellent Mission Critical landscape that brings simplicity in a complex landscape to the foreground.

• 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.

We currently deployed HP Intergrity blade servers, They offer great versitility, redundancy, and a rapid method of deploying multible virtual guest within 10 minutes. The blade server packaging offers the ability to add addtional blades without downtime. The integrated networking, power, and san storage reduces the need to run new cabling just to add a new server when addtional blades are added.

I would like to see a GUI interface to mange resources and deploy new servers. The current method requires a lot of hands on with a lot of check and recheck. SAN storage lun assignment is lost on the guest side without running commands on the master server and the guest to extrapolate which physical luns are assigned to which file system.
