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.

May 2007 and updated Jan 2011: HP has ceased accepting orders for new Alpha Systems as of July 25, 2008. HP will continue to offer factory-refurbished systems and options through the Technology Value Solutions (TVS) in all regions as material is available. HP will offer service (maintenance, repair, and advisory) for all shipping Alpha Systems as of July, 2008 for a minimum of five years after last system shipment, or at least through 2013. 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.
