HP's SPS is a secure environment, accessed via VPN and OS level password, providing 24x7 access to Integrity servers running OpenVMS 8.4. By using SPS you will be able to better estimate the resource requirements—in-house expertise, transition/porting tools, project management—to port your application to HP Integrity servers. You will also gain experience with HP porting tools, including compilers, debuggers, and optimization tools. In this environment, you can transition “test” code on HP Integrity servers with two processors and five 146 GB SAS disk drives. Technical support and porting assistance will be at your disposal (from 9:00am to 5:00pm Pacific Time) or via email.
