HP Total Care uitgebreid met nieuwe producten en services voor
storage, networking, notebook en printing
AMSTELVEEN, 29 september 2009 - HP introduceert nieuwe oplossingen om
het midden- en kleinbedrijf (MKB) te helpen hun databeveiliging te
verbeteren, productiviteit te optimaliseren en risico's te
minimaliseren. Daarnaast helpen de oplossingen om kosten en
energieverbruik significant omlaag te brengen. Juist nu vraagt het MKB
om concrete oplossingen waarmee zij op korte termijn in kunnen spelen
op veranderende marktomstandigheden en de economische crisis. Het
nieuwe aanbod is een uitbreiding op de HP Total Care portfolio dat
MKB'ers helpt om hun bedrijft te leiden, beschermen en verder te
helpen groeien:
· Met HP Total Care Business Risk Mitigation kunnen MKB'ers uitval
tot 85%(1) reduceren.
· De HP StorageWorks X500 Data Vault Series (verkrijgbaar vanaf
$699)(2) geeft kleinbedrijven de kans om competitief te blijven door
de verbeterde beveiliging van belangrijke business data en door
automatische back-ups.
· De HP StorageWorks X3000 Network Storage Systems High
Availability Bundlescombineren hard- en software, wat zorgt voor een
efficiënte, gedeelde opslagoplossing voor documenten- en
applicatiedata.
· De HP ProCurve 1810G Switch Series Non-HP site levert betaalbare
gigabitconnecties, die geconfigureerd en onderhouden kunnen worden
zonder de inzet van grote aantallen of gespecialiseerd personeel. Het
biedt klanten flexibele inzetmogelijkheden, zoals een ontwerp zonder
ventilator voor stille operatie, montageopties voor gemakkelijke
plaatsing op iedere locatie en veiligheidscapaciteiten voor
bescherming tegen Denial-of-Service (DoS) aanvallen.
· Voor een betaalbare, lichtgewicht notebook dat geen concessies
doet op het gebied van prestaties: de HP ProBook 5310m Notebook PC is
ideaal voor mobiele MKBers, onder andere omdat de batterij zeven uren
achter elkaar meegaat.(6)
· De HP Color LaserJet Professional CP5220 printer series en
uitbreiding van de LaserJet portfolio maakt het voor kleine bedrijven
makkelijker en meer betaalbaar om zichzelf in de markt te zetten.
"Door juist nu te investeren in IT-oplossingen zullen MKB'ers beter in
staat zijn om kansen te grijpen en te groeien wanneer de economie weer
aantrekt," zegt Kathy Chou, vice president Worldwide MKB-Strategie van
HP. "Met deze aankondiging laat HP zien dat het continu waarde
toevoegt aan haar Total Care-aanbod om te kunnen blijven voldoen aan
de veranderende behoeften van MKB-klanten."

"AMI has surveyed thousands of SMBs in over a dozen countries over
the last four quarters, and noted that the current economy has greatly
changed the way they purchase technology products and services," said
Anil Miglani, senior vice president, AMI-Partners. "As we exit the
global recession, SMBs will try to protect their existing technology
investments while making new investments to grow their business and
strengthen customer relationships. HP is well-prepared to help SMB
customers achieve this balanced growth through its comprehensive Total
Care portfolio."
Improve security and risk management
For SMBs needing increased levels of security to protect their data
and keep mission-critical systems running smoothly, HP introduced
these new solutions:
· To significantly improve system availability while reducing the
risk associated with security breaches and data, the HP Total Care
Business Risk Mitigation solution offers customizable configurations
of servers, storage, networking and security products. By leveraging
this solution and best practices for data management, SMBs can reduce
outages by as much as 85 percent.(1)
· For affordable data management, the HP StorageWorks X500 Data
Vault Series (starting at $699)(2) allows small businesses to remain
competitive by improving the protection of critical business data and
automating backups. It enables small businesses with up to 10 PC and
Mac clients to store information in a central place and easily share
files regardless of employee location. Also, business owners can save
money through a low purchase price, which is up to 22 percent less
than comparable solutions.(3)
· For maximum uptime, the HP StorageWorks X3000 Network Storage
Systems High Availability Bundles combine hardware and software into
an efficient shared storage solution for file and application data.
Based on the HP StorageWorks X3000 Network Storage Gateways and HP
StorageWorks MSA2000 G2 storage arrays, the bundles increase
efficiency by automatically eliminating duplicate files, protecting
against drive failures and reducing setup time by up to 50 percent.(4)
Helping to keep costs in check, the solution does not require extra
license fees for networking protocols, file replication or snapshot
capabilities.
Enhance productivity, reduce costs
To help customers save money, be more productive and manage security
threats, HP announced:
· Improved administrative productivity with the HP ProCurve 1810G
Switch Series Non-HP site . This series provides affordable gigabit
connectivity that can be configured and maintained without a large or
specialized staff. It offer customers flexible deployment options such
as a fan-less design for silent operation, mounting options for easy
deployment in any location and network security capabilities for
protection against denial-of-service attacks. The eight-port model
also features a Power-over-Ethernet option for connectivity in
locations without readily available power sources. The series also is
supported by the ProCurve Lifetime Warranty(5) to help customers
better manage their overall networking expenses by providing value and
choice for their business applications.
· For an affordable, lightweight notebook that does not compromise
performance, the HP ProBook 5310m Notebook PC, starting at $699,(2) is
the world's thinnest full-performance notebook at 0.9-inches thin and
3.7 pounds. Ideal for mobile SMBs, it delivers seven hours of battery
life,(6) sports a 13.3-inch diagonal LED high-definition display and a
standard voltage processor. HP QuickWeb allows users to access the web
in seconds when the notebook is shut down.(7)
Maximize impact, decrease energy use
For SMBs that want to affordably grow while minimizing their
environmental impact, HP introduced new printing and online marketing
solutions:
· The HP Color LaserJet Professional CP5220 printer series, which
is available for purchase in Asia and Europe, offers exceptional print
quality and network performance, making it easy for small businesses
to affordably market themselves. It is the first printer to offer HP
Auto-Off Technology, an industry-leading technology that intelligently
senses when there is no print activity and automatically adjusts the
power settings. This latest addition to the HP LaserJet family builds
on 25 years of leadership in innovation, quality, performance and
dependability, and sets the gold standard in business printing.
· To help SMBs easily select the best HP LaserJet printing system
for their business, HP announced new sub-branding. Customers can
choose from a comprehensive line of HP LaserJet "Professional"
printers that provide professional and cost-effective results, while
larger organizations can select from the HP LaserJet "Enterprise"
portfolio.
· To help small businesses better connect with their customers, HP
released a new version of its MarketSplash by HP Non-HP site web
service. HP printer and PC customers in the United States can now
download and edit hundreds of professional-quality brochure, flyer and
business card templates at no charge and print them in-house.
Beginning next month, MarketSplash will offer a print fulfillment
option that enables customers to select a local print service
provider.
· HP and Yahoo! have teamed to help small businesses in the United
States easily and affordably create a cohesive brand identity across
different online and offline marketing functions. Through the HP
Creative Studio, the HP Total Care site and the Yahoo! Small Business
portal, customers can receive special offers including web hosting
prices for as low as $7.46 a month(2) and access custom design
services from Logoworks by HP to create a professional-looking
website.
New services and financing offers
To complement its new solutions, HP introduced services and financing
offers to help SMBs in the United States purchase, use and manage
their IT resources:
· To help SMBs manage costs and make purchasing easy, HP offers
flexible financing solutions to deploy next-generation HP technology
and services through HP Financial Services, the company's leasing and
lifecycle asset management services subsidiary. From now through Oct.
31, 2009, SMBs can take advantage of the Economic Recovery Lease
program, which offers a 36-month plan with fixed price purchase
options.
· From now until Dec. 31, 2009, SMBs can receive up to $1,000 cash
back when purchasing a new HP LaserJet, Officejet Pro or Scanjet and
recycling an old printer through the HP Trade-in and Save Program.
Within the last six months, HP has generated nearly $16 million in
revenue and sold more than 17,000 units through the program.
New channel offerings
Lastly, HP announced enhanced SMB offerings available through its
channel partners, including channel-only products, channel-led Managed
Print Services programs and HP certified solutions, that enable SMBs
to better compete in today's marketplace. The offerings include:
· Products available through the channel will initially focus on
the workflow, imaging and printing security and job accounting, and
device management arenas;
· Greater investment in tools and programs that enable reseller
partners to offer Managed Print Services to their customers. In the
United States, HP has established new relationships with industry
leaders that offer managed print infrastructure and services for
resale by value-added reseller partners. In Europe, HP is creating an
integrated platform and brokering a network of service partners that
will enable resellers to sell contractual print offerings as well as
higher valued services not previously available to SMB customers; and
· Certified solutions for the channel that include partner
training, product sourcing and technical support for select
independent software vendor solutions from HP's Solutions Business
Partner Program.
