HPE Integrity NonStop X Migration Assessment Service

HPE Lifecycle Event Services

HPE Integrity NonStop X Migration Assessment Service is designed to help you develop a detailed understanding of the specific requirements for transitioning to the new HPE Integrity NonStop X server from your HPE Integrity NonStop NS- or NB-series platforms. By quickly identifying migration tasks based on your specific NonStop hardware and software product sets and versions, this service allows your technical staff to focus on building an implementation plan that addresses areas such as: application programs, tools, and operating system software and hardware products that will require remedial action prior to transitioning to the new HPE Integrity NonStop X server.


The assessment report included with this service is intended to help you identify significant issues that need to be addressed before transitioning to an HPE Integrity NonStop X server. The service can be delivered as a standalone service or in addition to other services to cover a range of migration requirements, from assessment through final implementation.


Hewlett Packard Enterprise also offers services beyond the scope of this assessment service, which may include specific information technology domains such as operating system, middleware, data files, hardware, operations, data center environment, and network communications. These services are not within the scope of these assessment services, but can be provided via a custom Statement of Work (SOW) that is prepared by Hewlett Packard Enterprise field service personnel based upon your requirements.

Any services provided outside of HPE standard business hours may be subject to additional charges.

Data collection

In this phase, Hewlett Packard Enterprise performs data collection through interviews with the Customer's IT staff using HPE proprietary service delivery tools.

The Hewlett Packard Enterprise service delivery specialist, working with your designated staff member, will review NonStopsubsystem near- and long-term requirements.

An assessment questionnaire will be sent to the Customer's designated staff member to streamline and focus the data collection activity.

Data analysis

The Hewlett Packard Enterprise service delivery specialist will:

  • Analyze and compare the data collected against HPE’s plans for product obsolescence
  • Identify and inventory application programs that may require remedial action
  • Perform a check to verify that sufficient hardware (processors and disks) are being ordered to meet the Customer’s requirements
