HP AlphaServer systems with enterprise-class operating system choices of OpenVMS and Tru64 UNIX® continue to offer rock-solid reliability, application availability and performance, simplified management and flexibility. HP proudly supplied AlphaServer systems to leading business, education and government enterprises around the globe from 1992 until 2007. HP will continue to offer Service for Alpha Systems to assure reliable operation for many more years. The Alpha Retain Trust website has procedures, tools, and information about HP Services available to ease the transition from Alpha systems to other HP products.

I want to personally thank you for 15 years of loyal patronage; Ann McQuaid, General Manager, Alpha Systems Division.

News and features

   May 2007: HP has ceased accepting orders for new Alpha Systems as of April 27, 2007. Customers can still order upgrades, add-ons and options until April 25, 2008. HP will continue to offer factory-refurbished systems and options through the HP Renew Program in EMEA, AP, and Japan; and Technology Value Solutions (TVS) in the Americas. HP will offer service (maintenance, repair, and advisory) for all currently selling Alpha Systems for a minimum of five years after last system shipment, or at least through 2012. Typically, HP offers services much longer than the five year minimum commitment. HP still offers service on all Alpha Systems shipped since their original introduction in 1992.
