I worked on the Superdome servers back in the day. What a weird product. I still can't believe it was a profitable division (at my time circa 2011).
HP was going through some turbulent waters in those days.
Yes, some good times despite all the work.
The Itanic was kind of great :). I'm convinced it helped sink SGI.
Itanium did its most most important job: it killed everything but ARM and POWER.
Sunk by the Great Itanic ?
Why was the sinking of SGI great?
