News Story by Scarlet Pruitt
JUNE 28, 2004 (IDG NEWS SERVICE) - Hewlett-Packard Co. shored up its
enterprise offerings today, unveiling a desktop PC, three workstations and
backup and recovery software as it continues to tout its Adaptive Enterprise
strategy.
The HP Compaq Business desktop dc7100 is the first in the company's 7000
series line, featuring extended life-cycle management of at least 15 months,
as well as improved manageability and security features, the company said.
The PC is based on Intel Corp.'s 915G chip set and comes in a choice of
three designs -- ultraslim desktop, small form factor and convertible
minitower. It features HP's new Altiris Recovery software for PC backup,
restoration and recovery and HP's ProtectTools Embedded Security Manager.
The security manager is a combined software and hardware product that allows
users to add security functions such as data encryption and authentication.
Customers can also choose to customize the dc7100 with Intel's Pentium 4
HyperThread-enabled processors, Microsoft Corp.'s Windows XP operating
system, a 160GB hard drive, up to 4GB of DDR synchronous dynamic RAM and a
choice of optical drives.
The dc7100 will be available worldwide in early July and will have an
estimated price of $749 in the U.S.
The company also rolled out three workstations aimed at the design and
engineering, digital content creation, financial services and geographical
information markets.
The entry-level HP Workstation xw4200 is based on Intel's 925X Express chip
set and Intel Pentium 4 with Intel EM64T. It will be offered directly
through HP and by its distribution partners. The new HP Workstation xw4200,
xw6200 and xw8200 support Microsoft's Windows XP Professional as well as Red
Hat Inc.'s Enterprise Linux WS 3.0 operating systems.
The xw6200 and xw8200 are available now for $1,399 and $1,799, respectively.
The HP xw4200 is expected to be available in July starting at an estimated
price of $849, HP said.
