The announcement follows up on a deal struck by Palo Alto, California-based HP with San Jose, California-based BEA in June 2002 after HP pulled out of the application server middleware market.
HP announced in February that BEA’s WebLogic Server was available on its Intel Corp Itanium 2-based servers running its HP-UX Unix operating system. WebLogic Server is also now available for HP AlphaServers running OpenVMS and HP ProLiant servers running Linux, with availability for HP NonStop servers scheduled for June.
In addition, the two companies announced a cooperative support agreement that provides customers running WebLogic Server on HP platforms with support from either of the two companies. The agreement sees the creation of a fast call transfer and problem isolation agreement designed to resolve joint customer support requests.
It is available now for customers running WebLogic Server on NonStop servers, and will be available for HP servers running HP-UX, OpenVMS, Windows, Tru64 Unix and Linux within 90 days.
