Hewlett-Packard (HP) is announcing the version discontinuance of Business Availability Center 8.x. All Business Availability Center 8.x customers with an active support contract are eligible to upgrade to Business Service Management 9.2x. Business Availability Center was renamed to Business Service Management as of version 9.0x.

Your support contract will be updated with the post November 2009 product structure SKUs at time of renewal.
