HP Introduces High-performance Business Desktop Products to Help Business
Customers Increase Security and Return on IT Investment PALO ALTO, CALIF.,
May 21, 2003 - HP (NYSE:HPQ) today introduced a range of secure,
high-performance, desktop-based products for business customers.
The new HP Compaq business desktops d330, d530, HP Compaq thin client t5700
and HP L1925 flat panel monitors offer improved security features and
industry-leading client services to ease the technology upgrade process and
reduce maintenance, repair and support costs throughout the product
lifecycle. "Many companies today are putting themselves at risk by running
older, less secure PCs in their IT environments," said John Thompson, vice
president and general manager, commercial products Americas, HP Personal
Systems Group. "Our new business desktop products not only perform better to
improve worker productivity, but when paired with our PC Upgrade Program,
will also help businesses protect their valuable data with enhanced security
features and services." HP announced its PC Upgrade Program today in a
separate press release titled "HP Aims to Drive Growing PC Replacement
Market with Comprehensive Upgrade Program."
OneBeacon Insurance, one of the leading independent agency property/casualty
insurance groups in the Northeast, has recognized the benefits of upgrading
to new technology and reducing the hidden costs of keeping older technology
running. "Justifying the need for spending millions of dollars to refresh
PCs is challenging. Not only do you need to ensure the total cost of the
project saves real money but it also has to translate into productivity
gains on the business side that may be difficult to quantify," said Joseph
Topale, vice president of computing and network services, OneBeacon
Insurance. "Working with HP to refresh PCs on a regular lifecycle ensures
the business continues to achieve the kind of efficiency required in today's
business environment. We benefit from improved reliability and lower
maintenance and support costs." HP Compaq Business Desktop PCs
The reliable HP Compaq business desktop d530 series provides customers with
maximum stability and manageability. With a lifecycle as long as 15 months,
a common software image across the platform and HP Lifecycle Solutions
manageability tools, d530 PCs enables faster, easier PC deployment across
enterprise networks. This helps lower the total cost of technology ownership
by reducing the need for IT support and improving IT staff productivity. In
addition, the new HP ProtectTools Embedded Security chip allows customers to
better protect their data and control access to their networks as well as
enhance communications security. The chip is a standards-based solution
developed in conjunction with Infineon Technologies. Available as an option
on all d530 models, the security solution is intended to enhance the native
Microsoft(r) operating system security features as well as third-party
security applications such as public key infrastructure suites and virtual
private networks.
HP ProtectTools enables more robust and secure file and folder encryption
through hardware-based key generation and storage. HP's personal secured
drive simplifies data protection through encryption with a user-friendly
drag-and-drop interface. It seamlessly integrates with popular e-mail
applications such as Microsoft Outlook and Lotus Notes for encrypting
e-mail. Available in three designs - small form factor, convertible
minitower or ultra-slim desktop -- the HP Compaq business desktop d530
starts at an estimated U.S. street price of $730.(1) Customers can
conveniently choose pre-configured models or fully customize their own
solution with Intel(r) Celeron(r) or HyperThread-enabled Pentium(r) 4
processors with the 865G chipset and speeds up to 3.0 gigahertz, up to
160-gigabyte hard drive, 4 gigabytes of DDR (double data rate) SDRAM, choice
of DVD-ROM or CD-RW drives and Microsoft Windows(r) XP Professional.
For the small- and medium-sized business that wants the most from its IT
investment now and in the future, the HP Compaq Business Desktop d330 series
delivers proven, flexible technology and reliable performance at a low
initial cost. HP is introducing two new d330 designs -- the microtower and
slim tower. Both models are designed with enhanced, tool-less access to
internal components and drives for quick and easy upgrade or service. The
d330 series also offers increased commonality with systems sharing the same
image and motherboard for increased manageability.
The HP Compaq Business Desktop d330 offers customers a choice of
pre-configured models or customized solutions. Pricing for the d330 series
starts at an estimated U.S. street price of $499, with a configuration built
to maximize the price to performance ratio for $779 including an Intel
Pentium 4 2.66-GHz processor, 40-gigabyte 7,200-rpm hard drive, 256-megabyte
DDR SDRAM, 48x CD-ROM drive, standard gigabit Ethernet NIC, six USB 2.0
ports and Microsoft Windows XP Professional.(1) Both the d530 and d330 offer
optional security features including a Kensington lock, port controls,
keyboard smart card readers and pre-installed smart cover lock or hood
sensor. More information about the PCs is available at
