HP Global Workload Manager v1.1 for OpenVMS on HP Integrity servers and AlphaServer systems

HP Global Workload Manager (gWLM) v1.1 for OpenVMS is available to order.

The same gWLM product is available on both HP-UX 11i, Linux and OpenVMS. This commonality enables smooth operations in multi-OS environments that use HP-UX and/or Linux in addition to OpenVMS. It ensures that the management procedures and technology are the same on all systems.

gWLM provides these benefits
  • gWLM is a lower cost solution than purchasing additional CPUs to satisfy increasing workload demands.
  • As workloads grow, gWLM controls the costs of escalating hardware maintenance, service, operating system software, floor space, electricity, and air conditioning.
  • gWLM reduces lifetime third-party software costs because CPU count is kept to a minimum.
gWLM for OpenVMS enables
  • Potentially greatly improved utilization of Integrity or Alpha CPUs across multiple work streams
  • Automatic CPU resource allocation to satisfy service level agreements of multiple business units, based on policies defined by Information Systems (IS) management
  • Intuitive management through a graphical user interface (GUI) that includes comprehensive reporting tools

Availability

The gWLM Agent is available on
  • OpenVMS Layered Products Library for Integrity distribution
  • OpenVMS Software Products Library for Alpha distribution
Online documentation for the product is included in the distributions.
