PowerHouse in the next 3 years?

[Hans-Ole Kaae, ScanConsult]

Hi,

I will just point one thing out. The Itanium thing.

I don't know how HP marketing is going on in US/Canada - but here in 
Europe, Itanium 2 *is* around - alive, well and kicking.

If you were to order an upgrade of your HP-UX PA-RISC box today - you 
would probably go for Itanium - if all your 3. party software does 
support it, that is.

One major issue, based on our own experience: You get more power for 
less money - and that's of course difficult to ignore. We requested 2 
offers from HP - and Itanium was cheaper than PA-RISC - so for the same 
money we would get more power out of the box.

I don't now if this is true for the whole range of HP-boxes - but if it 
is, shouldn't Cognos support for Itanium be available today?

Itanium is more than one thing. PowerHouse for Unix running on Itanium 
2 with HP-UX 11i is our issue - and shouldn't be extremely difficult to 
port, I guess...

/With kind regards Hans
