Does HP-UX Support x86?

The short answer is no. HP-UX was never designed to have support for running directly on x86 hardware. Rather, it was optimized for HP's PA-RISC and later Intel's Itanium (IA-64) platforms. But that doesn’t mean the end of the world. Organizations can still run business-critical applications on HP-UX using modern x86...

What Are SPARC Servers? Tracking Their Evolution

SPARC servers are server computers based on RISC processors, designed to handle demanding workloads easily and efficiently. They were originally developed by Sun Microsystems.
