Most large hardware vendors use proprietary CPU (Central Processing Units) chips in their machines.

Also most large vendors support only proprietary OS (Operating System),

Examples are:

  • IBMS's POwerPC chip runing AIX operating system.
  • HP's end-of-plife PA-RISC running HP-UX operating system.
  • HP's Itanium2-based IA64 running HP-UX operating system.

    You should also explore the ability of the machine to run other operating system as well. If you seek to retire SAP then you can simply use the same box internally after deploying less expensive operating system like Linux.

    For example HP's Itanium2-based IA64 also supports Linux and Windows operating systems.
