HP recently announced that in the past 18 months, more than 50 Asia Pacific and Japan customers from have successfully migrated from legacy mainframe systems to HP Integrity systems to support mission critical IT environments. Companies moving to next-generation data centers from diverse industry sectors have replaced legacy systems, including IBM mainframes, with HP Integrity to minimize high hardware maintenance and software licensing costs.

Fueled by increased demand for HP Integrity and Integrity NonStop servers in Q4 2007, HP’s Intel Itanium (EPIC) processor-based server revenues grew 53.0 percent in Asia Pacific (excl. Japan) region(1). According to IDC, HP tied for the top position in the Asia/Pacific (inc. Japan) Unix server market in revenue terms, securing 33.0 percent market share measured in CYQ4, 2007.  HP’s RISC & EPIC Unix server revenues grew 29.3 percent on a quarter-on-quarter basis in Q4 2007, underpinned by 23.8 percent growth in EPIC Unix. RISC Unix server revenues grew by 46.4 percent on a quarter-on-quarter basis, outperforming the market growth of 8 percent during the same period.  HP Integrity servers represented the majority of HP’s Business Critical Systems revenue in Asia Pacific (Inc. Japan), with 77.0 percent share in Q4 2007 (2).

Very cool, this article illustrates the sales of Itanium based servers and also highlights the different solutions which have been deployed using Itanium based servers, an interesting read, check it out. Itanium might not be for everyone, but deployed in the right way (as with anything else) with the right layered applications/middle ware, they can be an effective solution.
