"Hewlett-Packard Compay (NYSE:HWP)
took a bold step today against the backdrop of a still-shaky
economy to accelerate the push for Linux-supported business
solutions and display its improved lineup of Linux-based hardware,
customized software, and service offerings for the business and
telecommunications industries.
Among its wares on display at the LinuxWorld Conference and Expo
are Linux-based workstations, Linux solutions for Officejet and
inkjet printers, Opencall software developer's kit, and the
company's newest Linux-based servers based on open
industry-standard technology and the Intel architecture for the
telecommunications industry.
Software manageability offerings include HP Servicecontrol
Manager, Toptools, and HP MC/Serviceguard. The company also plans
to introduce a pay-per-use utility pricing program for Linux
service providers (available in Spring 2002) designed to give
service providers a stronger hold on information technology
fluctuations in accordance with company revenue."
