05.12.09 HP Gives Unix A Pat On The Back  By Doug CaverlyOther operating systems may get a lot more play in the press, but it looks like Unix still has some friends in high places. Not too long ago, Hewlett-Packard acknowledged Unix in a couple of rather important ways. Upgrades to HP's Serviceguard Solutions software and HP-UX 11i operating environment should make certain processes quicker, easier, and/or cheaper, depending on the circumstances. Which means a lot since the products are coming from a semi-ubiquitous corporation with a market cap of about $83.6 billion. Brian Cox, an HP director within the Business Critical Systems division, said in a statement, "Twenty-five years of UNIX leadership, coupled with the longest publicly available UNIX roadmap in the industry, ensures that HP-UX is the operating environment of choice for customers."
Rory McInerney, a vice president and director employed by Intel, then sort of upped the ante by adding, "HP's investment in UNIX-level data and application redundancy, online mobility and system failover with HP-UX 11i v3, combined with Intel's investment in processor-level RAS features, make HP Integrity servers running HP-UX 11i extremely flexible and reliable for mission-critical workloads." Intel, for its part, has a market cap of close to $84.3 billion. Unix professionals should be pleased to see the operating system have fans with such deep pockets.
