Migrating from IBM POWER Server Silos to HP BladeSystem and Converged Infrastructure

This paper looks at the options IT managers have for hosting enterprise applications when replacing end-of-life POWER 4 or 5 servers. It compares an HP Converged Infrastructure, based on HP Integrity and Proliant server blades, to approaches based on IBM POWER. It also addresses customer options for business-critical application migration. Taken together, they demonstrate how HP Converged Infrastructure can replace older POWER servers with a blade-based infrastructure and maintain the mission-critical service levels required in an enterprise.
