HPUX HOSTING - FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
CLIENTS
We support many well-known HP-UX clients who rely on our HP-UX cloud for development, testing, and production environments. Our clients span a wide range of industries, including software development, manufacturing, semiconductor, aviation, logistics, security, and travel. We work with small, medium, and large organizations that depend on our HP-UX cloud to support their global development, testing, and production needs.
SYSTEMS
It is our practice to customize and configure a dedicated HP-UX system to your specific needs. HP-UX systems can be complicated and specific to our customers’ needs, so we make every effort to duplicate your exact system so you will not have to address dissimilar hardware configurations that won’t meet your company’s software needs. In other words, we do not adhere to a one-size-fits-all strategy for virtual or shared environments, so your private, dedicated system will be customized to your exact infrastructure requirements.
CONNECTION
Most clients connect to Nicman via a secure VPN connection that we will set up and maintain as part of our monthly service. Typically, we include a 1×1 or 2×2 Linux server as part of our service for this feature. For a one-time fee required by HP, we also have several HP-UX compilers available for our clients to test their code (ask for details).

SUPPORT
All HP-UX environments come with System Level Support service. This means your firm is instantly out of the hardware business when you host your assets at HP-UX Hosting! We can also provide 24/7/365 Application-Level and DevOps support so your team can focus on your internal systems. At the same time, Nicman handles your HP-UX applications and software releases in the cloud. Lastly, we have several HP-UX engineers on staff who we can arrange for an optional hourly resource should you require our assistance outside of hosting and maintaining your HP-UX environment. In many cases, our experts have been brought in to help our clients navigate the nuances of working with HP-UX systems. We are here to help and do not require long-term contracts for ad hoc HP-UX engineering assistance.
CONTRACTS
Nicman does not require long-term contracts; we are comfortable with a month-to-month commitment with a 30-day notice of cancellation. We also accept major credit cards, including Visa, MasterCard, and American Express. For our enterprise clients, Nicman staff will be happy to provide; Master Services Agreements, (MSA), Mutual non-disclosure agreement, (MNDA), Service Level Agreement, (SLA), Statement of work agreement, (SOW), System Level Support Agreements, (SLSA), Application level and DevOps support, (ALDS) and SOC I & II level security documents. We will be happy to provide additional HP-UX presentation material and ROI assistance for your team to share with the business, InfoSec, upper management, and financial stakeholders.
NEXT STEPS
The next step is to connect directly with you so we can customize a quote for your needs and provide you with a budget number. Since all client needs are unique, the custom quote we provide will be tailored to your HP-UX infrastructure. Typically, a small development 2Core x 4GB RAM HP-UX system with system-level storage and VPN is well under $1,000 U.S. per month.
