Customer Success stories

Customer: A leading financial services institution

One of the world's leading financial services institution installed HP's OpenView OS/390 and OS/400 management products to support their mainframes and AS/400's. After the products were evaluated a decision was made to purchase the HP OpenView products to replace their existing mainframe and AS/400 OEM management products. The OV OS/390 and OV OS/400 product agents have a "lightweight" design that allows customers to reclaim valuable CPU and disk storage that the OEM products required. The OpenView products provided sophisticated automation based on messages received, or monitoring commands issued from the OpenView Operations server. The installation and configuration, from test to production, of these products was completed in less than two weeks time. The OpenView server is monitoring over 300 critical system and application messages. The return on investment (ROI) is anticipated to be a 12-18 month period as the customer continues to roll out their implementation plan to their other locations.
