Please join us for this watershed announcement as partA of HP's major Enterprise Computing Web Event.  I encourage you to ; participate by registering at http://www.hp.com/go/agility.   E OpenVMS Version 8.2 is currently orderable for HP Integrity rx4640-8, J rx2620-2, rx2600, rx1620-2 and rx1600 servers as well as the entire familyF of AlphaServer systems.  OpenVMS will be available on the full line ofJ Integrity servers, including the HP Superdome Server, by the first half of 2006.   E You can now take full advantage of the availability, scalability, and K rock-solid reliability of OpenVMS on the industry standard Integrity server D platform. If you currently run OpenVMS, you can be assured that yourI investments are protected.  You can increase your returns on IT by adding C OpenVMS Integrity servers to your existing AlphaServer environment. H Legendary OpenVMS clustering is now extended to support both AlphaServerI systems and Integrity servers as well as mixed architecture clusters that J can include both Alpha and Integrity servers.  Application investments areL protected because the vast majority of Alpha-based OpenVMS applications needE only be recompiled, relinked, and tested in order to run on Integrity G servers.  HP believes that the timing is also excellent for new OpenVMS L customers because they can have the well-recognized functionality of OpenVMSJ as well as affordability, flexibility, adaptability, and low total cost of
 ownership.  K Ann Livermore, Executive Vice President for HP's Technology Solutions Group E states, "OpenVMS continues to be a strategic platform for HP. This is I demonstrated by the new release of OpenVMS Version 8.2 for both Integrity F servers and AlphaServer systems. With OpenVMS now supporting IntegrityC Servers, we have expanded our multi-OS capability.  As well, we are B delivering another key offering as part of our Adaptive Enterprise  strategy."   H Over 100 customers have field tested OpenVMS v8.2 and hundreds more haveF been experiencing it for months in its evaluation release.  HP has theK programs and support to enable you to seamlessly add Integrity servers into L your existing IT environment.  Our list of leading software partners portingF their applications to Integrity servers continues to grow daily.  In aJ business environment driven by relentless, unpredictable, and acceleratingH change, OpenVMS will continue to improve on its well-known attributes ofI availability, scalability, and rock-solid reliability on which customers,  worldwide, continue to depend.  E "Our customers and channel partners are enormously enthusiastic about I OpenVMS on HP Integrity servers"  says Jack Novia, senior vice president, H Customer Solutions Group, and managing director, HP Americas. "They knowC that we at HP are strongly committed to supporting their current IT L investments, while providing a solid path forward for continuous improvement' enabling them to capitalize on change".   : For more information, visit:  http://www.hp.com/go/openvms7 The web event will be at: http://www.hp.com/go/agility.    Very truly yours,   ( Mark Gorham, VP OpenVMS Systems Division   -----------------     I You don't hear that carly(tm) thinks OpenVMS is strategic.
