HP has announced that 40 European customers have successfully migrated in the past year from legacy mainframe systems to HP Integrity servers, achieving data center cost savings of up to 70%.
Increasingly, companies are migrating from mainframes to HP Integrity servers for mission-critical IT operations in an effort to reduce high hardware operating and software licensing costs. HP expects to help migrate an additional 125 European companies in the next 12 months.
HP’s continued strong market share position is further evidence of customer confidence in HP Integrity servers as an alternative to mainframes. According to IDC, HP tied for the top position in revenue for the Europe, Middle East and Africa (EMEA) Enterprise server market, securing 32.7 percent market share as measured in the second quarter of 2008.
HP Integrity servers represented the majority of HP’s Business Critical Systems revenue in EMEA, with 78 percent share in the third quarter of fiscal year 2008.
“Customers are increasingly fed up with the rising costs and inflexibility of mainframe systems due to the resulting negative impact on their businesses,” said Ruud Vrolijk, vice president and general manager, Business Critical Systems – EMEA, HP.
“HP helps customers meet future needs by shedding unnecessary costs and modernizing their legacy applications. HP also promotes better investment protection through its open, modular HP Integrity server solutions that are much more economical and flexible in adapting to changes in a business.”
