Welcome to HP-UX 11i Version 2
HP-UX 11i Version 2 is the newest release of HP-UX 11i for the Intel
Itanium
architecture. This enterprise release offers a full range of
HP-UX Operating Environments, including systems management and
high-availability software products. Itanium-based systems offer
significantly better price/performance and performance scalability than
systems based on current architectures, and HP-UX 11i v2 provides the
best way to preserve your investment through the transition from
PA-RISC systems to Itanium-based systems.
Hewlett-Packard's enterprise computing business has carefully planned
the transition to Itanium-based systems, placing a premium on customer
and partner investment protection. HP-UX 11i v2 maintains
compatibility with HP-UX 11iv1 on PA-RISC through the following:
• Common “look and feel”
• Application Build Environment compatibility (source code
compatibility)
• Data compatibility
• Binary compatibility
HP-UX 11i v2 offers these industry firsts for Itanium-based systems:
• Support for HP-UX 11i, Linux, and Windows running in separate
hardware-based partitions on the same computer
• 64-way performance scaling
• iCOD (Instant Capacity on Demand) and Pay-Per-Use (PPU)
HP-UX 11i v2 brings to Itanium-based systems the full power of HP
11iv1, the #1-rated UNIX operating system (OS) in the world (DH Brown

HP-UX 11i v2 on Itanium
takes its place alongside HP-UX 11i v1 on
PA-RISC as an industry mainstay for mission critical enterprise
applications.
