Alternative Solutions for Heterogeneous Development
X-emulators running from a PC using UNIX tools:
- Does not take advantage of Windows productivity tools
- Developer has to keep switching between development environments
OpenStudio utilizes Windows productivity tools for HP-UX development from a single Windows environment.
Dual machine approach:
- High hardware costs
- High training costs
- Adds unnecessary complexity
OpenStudio relies on one set of hardware, requires training in only one environment and provides simplicity.
