Why TPM maintenance instead of HPE Pointnext (Mission-Critical)
HPE Pointnext for mission-critical compute is in the highest premium segment — Superdome 2 and older Integrity rx2800/rx6600 reach maintenance costs suggesting a Tier-1 refresh. In DACH banks and SAP HANA environments these platforms run stably for 12-15 years.
We service Superdome Flex (current), Superdome X, Superdome 2 (Itanium) and Integrity rx series with OEM original parts. HP-UX and OpenVMS as operating systems continue to work. SAP HANA hardware certificates remain valid.
OEM vs. TechCare — where the switch pays off
The full OEM-vs-TPM matrix (spare parts, SLA tiers, language, sub-outsourcing, compliance docs, reporting) is the same for every HPE line — see the HPE battle card.
Stays with HPE Superdome / Integrity
- HPE OneView / iLO Advanced subscription
- HPE Aruba Central / GreenLake cloud subscriptions
- HPE software TAC and firmware login releases
Moves to TechCare
- Hardware defects (memory, disk, PSU, mainboard, modules)
- 24×7×4 on-site SLA with German-speaking field service
- Spare-parts logistics DACH + global hub network
- Fixed-price contract in 48 h, one inventory — one contract
DACH compliance by design.
BAIT/MaRisk documentation package, DORA Art. 28 contract template, ISO 27001 and GDPR-compliant media handling apply identically to every HPE line — details on the HPE battle card.
Migration path from first contact to hand-over.
Same four steps for every HPE line: inventory → fixed-price quote in 48 h → contract (BAIT/MaRisk/DORA hooks) → hand-over with spare-parts provisioning. Details on the HPE battle card.
FAQ on HPE Superdome / Integrity maintenance
- Which HPE mission-critical hardware do you service?
- We service Superdome Flex 240/280 (current), Superdome X (X86 predecessor), Superdome 2 (Itanium) and older Integrity rx series.
- What does TPM cost for Superdome compared to HPE Pointnext?
- 30 to 60 percent savings vs. HPE Pointnext, up to 70 percent on EOSL platforms. For a Superdome 2 SD2-32 with 24×7×4, TechCare is roughly 55% below the HPE price.
- Can you service Itanium-based Integrity rx servers?
- Yes. Integrity rx2800-i4/i6, rx6600 and rx8640 are 10-15 years old in many DACH bank data centers (HP-UX workloads) and SAP environments and still running. Itanium parts we source via established secondary markets.
- What about HP-UX and VMS on Itanium?
- HP-UX and OpenVMS as operating systems continue to work as part of the hardware configuration. Code updates for newer HP-UX versions are limited without active HPE contract.
- Which SLA levels for mission-critical?
- For mission-critical hardware we generally recommend 24×7×4. These platforms run Tier-1 workloads (bank core, SAP HANA, OpenVMS applications) — failures have immediate business impact.
- Is iLO and Insight Manager fully functional?
- Yes. iLO and Insight Manager as management layer continue to work as part of the hardware.
