Mission-Critical Converged Infrastructure
Designed for mission critical
Responding to emerging trends in cloud, big data and mobility is a constantly evolving challenge. Systems eventually run out of room, demand too much floor space, and use up too much energy. Data must be processed faster and provide a proven, mission-critical infrastructure that can keep vital applications up and running.

HP Mission-Critical Converged Infrastructure is specifically designed to anticipate, and successfully manage key workloads. Your business and its mission-critical IT are kept up and running with a simple, integrated, and automated environment. With HP Integrity solutions as the foundation, your databases, SAP, and BI applications will be as resilient and flexible as you need them to be, now and well into the Future.
At HP, Integrity is more than technology—it's a mission-critical infrastructure as well as a core value in the solutions developed and delivered by HP and PartnerCo. See the complete HP Integrity systems family guide.

Easily transition to HP Integrity
Ongoing advancements in HP Integrity/HP-UX solutions serve as the design center for
Project Odyssey, which will deliver a UNIX-like experience for mission-critical Linux and Windows environments in the future for customers considering such a solution. Investing in HP Integrity servers and HP-UX positions your business to create or expand a mission-critical Converged Infrastructure that addresses your changing needs with a suite of product choices and investment protection.
You can move your databases and applications to today's HP Integrity servers easily and cost-effectively. We will help you achieve a smooth transition by leveraging proven expertise and integration experience during all the phases of the transition process:

We have the tools to help you plan and execute one or more of these transition strategies:
- Transfer existing applications from legacy systems to HP Integrity servers without re-architecting the solution stack. This will be a common approach for Oracle database and SAP landscapes, for instance.
- Consolidate multiple application instances onto fewer servers to reduce TCO, taking advantage of virtualization, and leverage powerful processors to reduce processor count.
- Re-architect the solution environment and install it on the new server platform.
