Layered OE Support – Beechglen Development

HP-UX Operating Environments

11i v1, v2 and v3 — comprehensive support of all HP-UX versions and layered software environments, including the most complex MC/ServiceGuard clusters.

Complete, not remedial

While other providers may offer just a remedial OS support option or just hardware maintenance, Beechglen understands from decades supporting HP-UX that unmatched depth and comprehensive proactive and reactive OS support is the only way to ensure uptime and reliability of critical server applications — for OS specific issues as well as hardware failures and hardware/OS dependencies.

HP-UX 11i v1 and v2 operating environments

Foundation Operating Environment (FOE)

A fully featured operating environment. In addition to the base HP-UX kernel, commands and management utilities, the Foundation OE provides internet-focused capabilities including the Apache web server and the Java runtime and development environment, plus features for industrial-strength system management, scalability, multi-system interoperability and advanced security.

Enterprise Operating Environment (EOE)

All capabilities of the Foundation OE plus critical add-on products for single system availability and performance management: OnlineJFS (Veritas VxFS v3.5), MirrorDisk/UX, EMS High Availability Monitors, Process Resource Manager and GlancePlus Pak. Focused on midrange application servers optimised for non-clustered high availability.

Mission Critical Operating Environment (MCOE)

All capabilities of Foundation and Enterprise OEs plus add-ons for multiple system availability, including Serviceguard high-availability clustering software and Workload Manager for goal-based resource management. Focused on high-end, corporate-critical database servers measuring downtime in minutes per year.
