Kevin,
Not sure I can answer your questions. But following was the thought process
we had when we were considering moving to Itanium platform with HP 11i v2 a
few months back:
- First, the support for this platform through an emulator, which in our
opinion is not the best option from a performance perspective, especially in
a production environment.
- Second, the complete new architecture of the Itanium platform (and its
idiosyncrasies) + the support model for HP-UX not being the first tier from
an OS perspective by BMC-Remedy
- Third, lack of skill set (being developed as I write this email) in our IT
department for supporting applications in an Itanium environment.
Hence our decision to move to split architecture with Linux Cluster on the
back-end for the Oracle Database, Windows 2003 Server for Remedy Server and
Linux servers with load balancer for our mid-tier. We have been live on this
for a few weeks and are very happy with the overall performance and HW
configurations we chose for our setup.
HTH,

Subject: ARSystem 7.1 / Itanium
HI All,
Long'ish shot given how new 7.1 is.....but:
1) Are you running ARSystem 7.1 on the Itanium platform (OS: HP 11i v2
or v3) through the ARIES emulator today?
2) If so, Is it your Production environment or not? How has it
performed so far using bespoke app or (any) OOTB application? Do you
do any benchmarking before the move? and what were the results (if
your permitted to share)
3) If not currently on an Itanium platform, Does your organisation
have plans to go to it in the short-term (<6 mths)?
Any comments in this space welcome.
Thanks In Advance,
Kevin
