Nora Denzel, senior vice president and general manager, Adaptive Enterprise Program, HP, said, "HP is winning business with our Adaptive Enterprise strategy because we help customers exploit change for competitive advantage. These new launches address the challenges companies face dealing with change. Enterprises need to ensure continuity for critical business processes to control the IT infrastructure and consolidate IT resources to cut cost and complexity."

HP Integrity NonStop server, which is the first commercial server to scale to up to 4,080 Intel Itanium 2 processors. The new server delivers 100 times the reliability of previous systems (99.99999 percent hardware availability) at half the cos

t of a mainframe. It provides the continuous uptime that is critical in industries such as healthcare, financial services, government, transportation, communications, retail and manufacturing. The server's application virtualization capability accommodates rapid and unpredictable growth in data with reduced management costs and without compromising service levels or creating user disruptions.

HP Systems Insight Manager 5.0 (SIM) is the industry's first unified platform to integrate the management of server and storage infrastructures. By providing both these capabilities "out of the box," the software enables customers to reduce the cost and complexity of IT maintenance, freeing resources to focus on innovation. HP SIM 5.0 delivers fault monitoring, inventory reporting and configuration management for HP ProLiant, HP Integrity and HP 9000 systems, and now the HP StorageWorks XP, EVA and MSA families of storage arrays.
