HP Dumps Tru64 Technology

Posted by on Jan 7, 2005 | One Comment

Quoted from the Dec/Jan issue of HP World magazine:

Impatient with delays in moving Compaq Unix technology over to HP’s variant, HP shelved plans to bring Tru64′s TruCluster and Advanced File System to HP-UX 11i V3, and said it will instead integrate technology from storage company Veritas.


Well, that should bring smiles over at Symantec, who now owns Veritas. At HP, things don’t seem to be moving fast enough for their taste and that’s understandable. In today’s accelerated business environment, speed often counts for more than what you’d really rather have time to do. Just ask Microsoft… Ironically, in the same issue of HP World, there’s an ad for services by the company Parsec touting the very same Tru64 Unix technology. Such are ad lead times, I guess.

    Thanks for sharing the blog post.  Very informative.  These should be pretty easy to figure out, but not a lot of people know where to start.
