A leading global semiconductor firm discovered that “half-cost OEM break/fix” offers little real value. In a crowded third-party maintenance market, legacy HP-UX clients need complete lifecycle solutions—not promises from providers who lack spare parts.
By adopting Beechglen’s high-availability BGDSAN, disaster recovery, and Ignite managed services, the client replaced unreliable hardware with Storage-as-a-Service and OS support. This failover capability reduced on-site hardware maintenance to a next-business-day SLA, transforming their high-risk HP-UX environment into a stable, managed asset.
When a physical system move and data migration, plus the introduction of new storage arrays, became a requirement for a division of a Fortune 500 plastics, chemical and refining company, Beechglen engineered a solution leveraging custom-built BGDSAN technology to deliver the move and migration of the client’s HP-UX and peripheral storage environment.
BGDSANs in each data center — old and new — with mirroring between them using DRBD, along with consulting, configuration and HP-UX services, were critical to getting the client from point A to point B. Every system move or data migration has its own specific needs, and the Beechglen expertise to make a challenging project a reality.
