to become acquainted with Beechglen Development Inc. Founded in 1988,
Beechglen specializes in providing worldwide HP3000/HP9000 support and
consulting through enterprise Help Desk and maintenance services and
legacy application consulting, system hosting and disaster recovery for
HP3000 and HP9000 systems.
We provide personalized service
for each of our customers through 24x7x365 technical support and
maintenance, patch/update assistance, network problem solving, system
tuning and performance analysis services. Aside from offering
programming specifically in updating legacy applications, we also
provide general contract programming for a wide variety of projects.

users and firmly believe that we will provide this service to you as
well.
Our long-time customers

We take great efforts to build
long term problem-solving partnerships with our customers and cater to
the individual needs of each of our clients. The next step would be a
free, no-obligation analysis and consultation of your existing hardware
and software support costs identifying areas for savings. For quickest

Our Commitment to You
Beechglen will continue to support
the HP3000 for as long as our customers care to run on this phenomenal
platform. In fact, we have customers still running Classic MPE/V! These
systems have one of the best business qualities, they are bought and
paid for! See our MPE
Support page for information on our MPE Account Management Support (AMS)
service.
Reading between the lines of HP's announcement, one item seems very
significant. Hewlett-Packard has basically admitted that they could not
justify the effort to convert MPE/iX, IMAGE/SQL, and various subsystems
to run on IA64. This does not bode well for other complex operating
systems, DBMS, and application packages, attempting the same
'migration.'
Our recommendation is to ride out
the wave of the coming 64-bit storm, and see where the chips eventually
fall. Meanwhile, your current HP3000 investment will continue to pay
reliable dividends. Otherwise, you could be faced with an expensive
initial parallel investment, immediately followed by an equally
expensive 64-bit upgrade. Another way of putting it would be, that it
would be a shame to jump out of the frying pan and into the fire.
We can also offer hardware support
well beyond HP's scheduled end of support date through one of our
outstanding Hardware Maintenance partners. We have coverage in most
geographic areas. Running a hot-backup system or keeping a cold-backup
system at your location are also viable alternatives.
If you would like to discuss these
issues in detail please drop us a
note or call us at (513) 922-0509. |
