HP-UX 11i offers a common shared disks for its clustered file system. [[HP Serviceguard]] is the [[Cluster (computing)|cluster]] solution for HP-UX. HP Global Workload Management adjusts workloads to optimize performance, and integrates with Instant Capacity on Demand so installed resources can be paid for in 30-minute increments as needed for peak workload demands.

<!--Interesting history (so I will not delete, just not sure where to move), but in the wrong place, as not according to WP Tru64 is discontinued as of 2012 and its page is unavailable, but TruCluster's page is available, and I'm not sure of its status:
  
With the acquisition of [[Compaq]] in 2001, HP obtained another Unix-based system, [[Tru64 Unix]] for [[AlphaServer]] hardware platform. HP continues to sell Tru64 UNIX, together with [[TruCluster]] software, but discontinued AlphaServer manufacturing in 2007.
