Abtech Systems Corporate Announcements & Press Releases

Abtech Support, a 20-year leader of HP solutions and support, announces a specialized portfolio of HP-UX services in order to support companies that have a significant investment in legacy HP technology but are concerned with the commitment that HP and others have with the platform.   Abtech is proud to introduce Lifeline-UX, a suite of services for HP-UX that empowers companies with the ability to maintain, manage, and ultimately migrate to other platforms on their schedule, not HP’s or an application provider’s.  Abtech is committed to supplying services through 2015 and beyond.  

“Customers are justifiably concerned about the future of HP-UX.  Our in-house team of certified technicians allows us to offer assistance through every phase of the eventual transition to another platform” says Miles Fleming, VP of Support Services for Abtech.   “With the uncertainty around Oracle support on Itanium, companies can’t afford to be caught in the middle of battling titans.  There are better things for them to do with their time and money relative to their business.  It is important for companies where HP-UX continues to be an essential element of their mission-critical infrastructure to realize that they have options.  With Lifeline, we can help them extend the life of their HP-UX assets at a lower cost and then when they’re ready, help them with the migration.”   

Lifeline services include: HP-UX system administration, Oracle and Informix database administration, managed hosting, 24x7 hardware and software support, high availability planning, disaster recovery, consulting, migration planning to AIX, Linux and Windows and implementation.  Abtech Support’s enterprise managed services are completely flexible to the unique needs of any company and can range from a small consulting engagement, to co-managing the environment, or finally to having Abtech’s technical staff completely manage the HP9000 environment if a key member leaves the company.  Regardless of the level of engagement, Lifeline services are designed to help critical IT staff reduce costs and focus on strategically important IT initiatives
