HP VAX & AlphaServer

It will soon be the one year anniversary since HP discontinued the AlphaServer product line. This seems like an appropriate time to discuss your options because of the challenges HP’s decision creates for your organization no matter what direction you head.

Are you staying with the VAX or AlphaServer platform for the foreseeable future?

You have nothing to worry about. For 22 years our loyalty to our VAX and AlphaServer customers has never wavered. Today our inventory consists of thousands of VAX and AlphaServer systems, options and accessories! And we’re continually replenishing our inventory to meet increasing demand from our customers. At Great Lakes Computer, no part ever goes discontinued or goes end of life.

Migrating to another platform?

We can help! Our technical expertise, professional services and world class customer service don’t end with VAX and AlphaServers. All of the benefits our customers have enjoyed since 1986, including quick delivery, free integration on new and remanufactured systems, flexible rental and trade in options, apply to the HP9000, Itanium, ProLiant and also the IBM SystemP and SystemX product lines.

Wondering what to do with your decommissioned AlphaServers?

The resale value for your Alpha hardware has never been higher! Talk to us about a cash offer, credit on account or use our offer as trade-in for your Itanium purchase.

Concerned about support and maintenance?

No problem. If you’re comfortable servicing your own systems, then our S³advance parts replacement extended warranty is for you! Our multi-year extended warranty options can save you as much as 70% on your VAX and AlphaServer maintenance costs. Alternatively, Great Lakes Computer has aligned with a select group of trusted third party maintenance providers. This alternative also offers significant savings over manufacturer's maintenance contracts.
