Industry Update: HPE to End Itanium Support by December 31, 2025

Hewlett Packard Enterprise (HPE) will officially cease support for Intel’s Itanium processor series by December 31, 2025. This move marks the final chapter for a platform once central to mission-critical computing in enterprise and government sectors.

HPE, long the primary systems vendor for Itanium-based architecture, has provided extended support for years beyond Intel’s last chip release. The end of the partnership aligns with broader IT modernization trends and the retirement of legacy RISC and EPIC-based systems in favor of x86 and ARM alternatives.

Organizations still running Itanium systems should expedite migration planning, data portability assessments, and application modernization efforts to avoid end-of-support risks.
