  • Specialist platform expertise

Deep expertise in systems others have left behind.

Preserving a proven platform is not the same as running a modern one. It requires engineers who know how MPE/iX and HP-UX actually behave, where their limits are, and how to keep them supportable — expertise that is increasingly difficult to source anywhere.

  • MPE/iX & HP-UX 2028 readiness

Preparing HP3000 and HP9000 environments for 2028 and beyond.

Two deadlines converge. On HP3000, MPE/iX carries a date limitation in 2028 that is addressed through Beechglen’s 2028 patch. On HP9000 and Integrity, HP-UX is heading into OEM end of support life. Both are planning problems rather than emergencies — but each takes time, testing and platform-specific knowledge to work through properly.

2026
Preparation
Inventory both HP3000/MPE/iX and HP9000/HP-UX estates, identify date-sensitive components and OEM support end dates, then establish a realistic plan window for testing.
2027
Assessment & Certification
Test MPE/iX date handling, stage the 2028 patch work, validate HP-UX on HP9000 against OEM end-of-support-life, and certify applications on platform.
2028
Continuity
Operate through the MPE/iX date boundary — and past HP-UX OEM support — with monitoring, support and solutions leveraging your critical applications.
Beyond
Long-Term Operation
Continue running MPE/iX and HP-UX under managed support, hosting and recovery arrangements enhancing these incredible platforms.

WHY BEECHGLEN
Experience built through decades of mission-critical work.
Beechglen has supported the same family of platforms since 1988 — through vendor transitions, roadmap changes and the gradual disappearance of specialist skills from the wider market.
DEEP LEGACY EXPERTISE
OS internals

01
Deep legacy expertise
Engineers who have worked inside MPE/iX and HP-UX for decades — not generalists reading documentation for the first time.
02
24/7 availability
Production issues do not respect business hours. Coverage is available 24×7×365, with escalation paths agreed before you need them.
03
Lifecycle thinking
Support, administration, storage, hosting, recovery and development considered together, so decisions in one area do not create risk in another.
04
Personalized technical support
You speak with people who know your environment. Context carries forward between calls instead of restarting each time.
  • Business continuity

How a protected environment actually fits together.

Each layer removes a different category of risk. Together they turn a single ageing system into an environment with monitoring, supportable storage, a tested recovery path and people accountable for it.
