evault and binary translation (aries)

[p7]

hi all

we re looking into evault as a backup alternative to data protector:

I looked thru their support manual. Only hpux had this, the others (solaris, windows,aix) did not:

Added support for HP-UX 11i (11.31) on PA-RISC and on IA-64 in Binary Translation

we asked the evault support and this is the response:

I did some research into your question and found that the binary translation is to allow the evault agent to be compatible with the HP-UX system. I was able to find information about the Binary compatibility from the following HP site.

im a bit confused as i thought they would answer that "this is need for this" but theyre just pointing back to hp.

anyone run into this?

thx in advance

This means they haven't ported their application to Integrity and are using PA-RISC executables.

Perhaps their product is I/O bound and so doesn't need the CPU performance?
