Good things come in small packages. Weighing in at just nine ounces, this small HP-35 handheld calculator made a big impact on scientists and engineers. In fact, in 2000, Forbes ASAP named the HP-35 as one of the 20 "all time products" that have changed the world. As the company's first consumer electronics product, it also changed the course of HP's history.

A stroke of genius. With keystroke programmability, some deemed 1974's HP-65 the world's first handheld computer. Small magnetic cards held calculator programs that could be entered and re-entered to run again.

It slices, it dices. In 1977, the HP-01 Wrist Instrument combined a digital wristwatch, calculator and personal calendar all in one. Performing more than three-dozen functions, the HP-01 showcased HP's miniaturization excellence in a big way.

Earning a space in history. The HP-41C became the first programmable, alphanumeric handheld calculator in 1979. It was also the first flight-critical calculator used by NASA to land the space shuttle, without contacting the ground crew. According the Smithsonian National Air and Space Museum, Sally Ride and several other astronauts used the HP-41C on a total of nine shuttle missions.

Turning the calculator industry around. In the early 1980s, HP engineers were tasked with creating another pocket-sized calculator, this time for financial applications. It had to be reliable and have a long battery life.

The HP-12C Programmable Financial Calculator fit the bill and changed the look and feel of calculators of the day with its signature horizontal layout. As HP's longest-selling calculator, the HP-12 looks just as it did 25 years ago.

Way ahead of its time. Back in 1989, the HP-48SX was the first calculator with two-way infrared communication between two calculators. Today, some calculators still rely on a cable to communicate.

These are only a few HP innovations. Read HP Celebrates 35 Years of Handheld Calculator Innovation to find out more.

Consolidate and conquer storage problems


by Susan Twombly, July 2007

When data growth turns into data glut, you've got a storage problem. Chances are, you've got performance and productivity problems, too, along with skyrocketing cost and complexity as you try to wrestle control over data stores.

The answer for many companies today is storage consolidation: standardizing and simplifying the storage environment to reduce complexity, increase agility and boost efficiency.

Read on to find out how these HP customers consolidated storage to conquer their worst data storage problems.

» Hear and see more storage consolidation successes in the HP video 'The art of consolidation: Painted by our customers.'

Increasing application performance


Tektronix

Challenge: Application performance declined as data stores grew.

Solution: Worldwide data archive solution with HP StorageWorks Reference Information Manager (RIM) for Databases.

Result: 40 percent performance increase.

» HP StorageWorks RIM for Databases

When large application databases put performance at risk, consolidating data to near or online archives can greatly increase service levels.

For example, an HP archiving solution at Tektronix, Inc. in Beaverton, Oregon helps the company manage data growth, improve application performance and meet compliance requirements in 29 countries.

Tektronix provides test, measurement and monitoring solutions for the communications, computer and semiconductor industries — as well as military/aerospace, consumer electronics, education and a broad range of other industries worldwide.. When the company went live with a single global instance of Oracle applications, its production database was only 60 GB. Despite tuning and hardware upgrades, the database quickly grew by about 1.25 GB per month. Application performance suffered, threatening the productivity of nearly 800 worldwide users.

Today, an aggressive purge schedule and an online archiving environment — based on HP StorageWorks Reference Information Manager (RIM) for Databases — saves disk space and maximizes application performance. In fact, disk space for accounts receivable dropped by 48 percent, while application performance jumped by 40 percent.

RIM for Databases also helps keep Tektronix ready for changing international regulations around financial reporting. In fact, when Congress mandated Sarbanes-Oxley, the company's transaction retention policies were already in compliance.

Backing up for compliance and protection


SA Eagle

Challenge: Unreliable data backup.

Solution: Consolidated backups to an HP StorageWorks 6000 Virtual Tape Library.

Result: Increased backup success rates from 98.32 percent to 99.99 percent.

» ECI book club (PDF file)

Consolidating backup can cut time and costs and provide a robust solution for business continuity.

Consider SA Eagle, South Africa's fourth-largest short-term insurer — an industry known for massive volumes of documentation and strict regulations around its management.

At one time, several different systems provided overnight backups for four data centers. With 93 separate backup operations a day, they didn't always complete by morning and, on average, at least one backup failed each day.

Today, SA Eagle uses virtual tape technology with an HP StorageWorks 6000 Virtual Library System to accelerate backup — improving backup success rates from 98.32 to 99.99 percent. They not only meet regulatory requirements for disaster recovery, they reduce tape costs and the time staff spends on managing backups.

Online storage speeds cost savings

Online storage area network (SAN) consolidation can increase utilization, link storage islands and pool storage resources to streamline management and costs.

When new servers and applications pushed storage resources to the max, North American packaging manufacturer Applied Extrusion Technologies (AET) consolidated storage to an HP SAN and realized a near-immediate return on investment.

AET estimated support costs for the previous non-HP SAN at $250,000 for the year ahead. But the consolidated HP SAN solution only cost about $160,000 to buy and provides nearly 2.5 times the storage capacity.

Unified management frees resources


CitiStreet

Challenge: High hardware costs and time-consuming management.

Solution: HP StorageWorks EVA8000 arrays and HP Storage Essentials software.

Result: Projected benefits of nearly $5 million over the next five years.

» HP Storage Essentials

» HP StorageWorks Enterprise Virtual Arrays

Unifying storage and server management across the infrastructure can increase efficiency and lower costs without compromising control.

As a global benefits provider and one of the U.S.'s largest retirement plan record keepers, CitiStreet's storage needs are constantly expanding. At one time, this put tremendous strains on IT staff and budgets. It often took an entire team of engineers to reconfigure existing systems. Purchasing new storage only added to number of systems IT had to manage.

In response, CitiStreet consolidated storage onto an HP StorageWorks EVA, then unified management with HP Storage Essentials — an open, standards-based storage management suite designed for heterogeneous network storage.

Now, scaling and managing storage is much easier and faster, costs are lower, productivity is higher and sluggish performance is a thing of the past. As a result, CitiStreet projects it will gain a cumulative, five-year net benefit from the new solution.

Utility Ready storage aligns with business


National Medical Health Card Systems

Challenge: Keeping up with up to 10 TB of data growth a year while keeping costs down.

Solution: HP Pay-per-use Storage Utility

Result: A projected cumulative five-year net benefit of more than $8 million.

» Read the full case study (PDF file)

» Utility Ready Storage

Expanding and contracting storage resources to stay in synch with business needs can be easier and cost-effective with HP Utility Ready Storage solutions. You pay only for the actual storage capacity you use, when you use it.

That's what New York-based pharmacy benefits manager National Medical Health Card Systems (NMHC) does to keep up with storage demands that grow by up to 10 terabytes a year.

With a Pay-per-use HP Storage Utility solution, HP quoted a monthly fee for storage services, then installed storage devices and metering technology on site.

Now, NMHC handles usage spikes without purchasing additional storage and only pays for the storage it uses. Together with reduced IT maintenance and troubleshooting costs, NMHC expects a cumulative five-year net benefit of more than $8 million.

Engineering and science students, faculty boost productivity with HP

Since 1994, each incoming freshman has received a notebook PC. For its latest class, the school wanted a highly durable notebook PC with faster processing speeds and improved graphics capabilities. After reviewing and testing several notebook PCs, the school chose the HP nw8440 Mobile Workstation.

Louis Turcotte, vice president of IAIT, Rose-Hulman, calls the HP mobile workstation "a robust and durable mobile computer with all the requirements in place."

"The HP nw8440 delivers desktop-equivalent performance, which is exactly what we want in terms of power and performance," he says. "Obviously our students need outstanding performance, but they also need a PC that can handle the rigors of being carried from building to building and handled constantly."

Equipped with Intel® Core™ 2 Duo and Intel Core Duo 64-bit processing technology, the HP nw8440 Mobile Workstation is a popular platform with professional engineers, and a natural fit for undergraduate engineering students, according to Turcotte.

"Engineering applications continuously evolve, and require increasing levels of hardware performance for support," he notes. "One of the concerns we have is the ability of our vendors to deliver really strong technology that's future-proof for at least several years. Our computing needs change every year, and we look to vendors that can adapt using the newest technology and deliver what we need. HP has done that."

The HP nw8440 delivers reliability on two fronts, says Turcotte. Equipped with the HP Mobile Data Protection System 3D, the nw8440 is engineered to reduce the amount of transmissible shock and vibration inside the PC, especially in and around the hard drive casing. Its dual-core processor, combined with a large 2-megabyte L2 cache and desktop-caliber graphics, helps provide the long-term performance that Rose-Hulman values.

"Many of our students work seven days a week on their computer, carrying it with them almost everywhere they go," Turcotte adds. "Plus many of them take their computer with them after graduation, loaded with years of files, data and engineering software. Reliability and a long lifespan are key factors when we put these PCs in the hands of new students."

Engineering courses made easier

David Mutchler, professor of computer science and software engineering, says Rose-Hulman faculty learned early on how powerful notebook PCs can transform the classroom environment.

In teaching calculus, he explains, an instructor needs to show students how to work with derivatives. The problem is that many students get bogged down in the mathematical mechanics of drawing a symbolic derivative curve. Using an HP PC, students can easily generate a graph of the function.

"Letting the PC handle that part of the problem means the rote aspect of calculus goes away and students can instead devote their energies to setting up and solving the problem," says Mutchler. "When we saw this effect, we were dedicated to making PCs a vital component in the classroom. We find that they truly improve the learning environment."

Tablet PCs help students learn

Rose-Hulman has also begun evaluating HP Compaq Tablet PCs in the classroom. Over the past few years, the faculty has experimented with dozens of HP Compaq Tablet PCs acquired through HP Technology in Teaching Grants. Using these Tablet PCs, Rose-Hulman students learn more efficiently, thanks to faster note taking.

"In a traditional engineering classroom, students write furiously to keep up as the professor covers whiteboards with equations and working problems," says Julia Williams, an English professor and executive director of the school's Office of Institutional Research, Planning and Assessment. "There's always the possibility that something can be lost in translation, or the student becomes focused more on transcribing than what the professor is saying.

That's completely changed thanks to Tablet PCs. Professors can conduct the entire class using a Tablet PC and an overhead projector. Students focus on a single screen, make notes on their own Tablet PC screen using the stylus and save their updates to an external flash drive. Everything is much more manageable."

It's an advantage that junior mechanical engineering student Chris Quick appreciates.

"It can be hectic in the classroom," Quick notes. "The HP Tablet PC is easy to work with and can multitask at the level we need. There are a lot of different functions that we work with. We often pull data or information from one application to another when we're working on a complex problem. The Tablet PC handles it with no problems. It makes our lives much easier and relieves some of the pressure to get information written down and put into play."

"The Tablet PCs not only perform well, they are very well designed and thought out," Williams adds.

Administrators and students cite several reasons, such as the Tablet PC's 12.1-inch, 160-degree wide-viewing angle display and specially treated glass that provide superior viewing. Another is the comfortable writing surface. The Tablet PC's in-mold lamination also helps protect the computer from bumps, jolts and the hazards of frequent use and handling.

DyKnow Vision improves learning

Collaboration between students and faculty is a hallmark of a Rose-Hulman education. To enhance this collaboration, the university uses the HP Tablet PC to run DyKnow Vision™ software, which Williams calls an "irreplaceable tool for collaborative learning."

Using the software's content replay feature, students play back their notes to reexamine stroke-for-stroke how charts were built or how concepts were introduced and explained. "It also helps you recapture new concepts much more quickly because you can watch, pause and replay the parts that were especially complex," Quick says.

"DyKnow Vision is demanding software," explains Williams. "It can push the hardware to the limit, but the HP Tablet PCs are capable of running the software efficiently and without any problems or delays."

That's one reason that Rose-Hulman plans to expand its use of the HP Tablet PCs beyond just a few classrooms, Williams notes. "We look at the HP Compaq Tablet PC as a very valuable learning tool, and our students have responded very well to using them."

Objective: Rose-Hulman needed powerful computer technology to meet the needs of faculty, current students and incoming freshmen.

Approach: The school outfitted several classrooms with HP Compaq Tablet PCs and acquired HP Mobile Workstations for incoming freshmen.

Business benefits:
" Increased productivity for faculty and students

IT benefits:
" Durability and reliability help extend product life

Use of non-GAAP financial information

To supplement HP's consolidated condensed financial statements presented on a GAAP basis, HP provides non-GAAP operating profit, non-GAAP operating margin, non-GAAP net earnings, non-GAAP diluted earnings per share and gross cash. HP also provides forecasts of non-GAAP diluted earnings per share. A reconciliation of the adjustments to GAAP results for this quarter and prior periods is included in the tables below. In addition, an explanation of the ways in which HP management uses these non-GAAP measures to evaluate its business, the substance behind HP management's decision to use these non-GAAP measures, the material limitations associated with the use of these non-GAAP measures, the manner in which HP management compensates for those limitations, and the substantive reasons why HP management believes that these non-GAAP measures provide useful information to investors is included under "Use of Non-GAAP Financial Measures" after the tables below. This additional non-GAAP financial information is not meant to be considered in isolation or as a substitute for operating profit, operating margin, net earnings, diluted earnings per share, or cash and cash equivalents prepared in accordance with GAAP.

Forward-looking statements

This news release contains forward-looking statements that involve risks, uncertainties and assumptions. If the risks or uncertainties ever materialize or the assumptions prove incorrect, the results of HP may differ materially from those expressed or implied by such forward-looking statements and assumptions. All statements other than statements of historical fact are statements that could be deemed forward-looking statements, including but not limited to any projections of revenue, margins, expenses, earnings, tax provisions, cash flows, benefit obligations, share repurchases or other financial items; any statements of the plans, strategies, and objectives of management for future operations, including execution of cost reduction programs and restructuring plans; any statements concerning the expected development, performance or market share relating to products or services; any statements regarding pending investigations, claims or disputes; any statements of expectation or belief; and any statements of assumptions underlying any of the foregoing. Risks, uncertainties and assumptions include macroeconomic and geopolitical trends and events; execution and performance of contracts by suppliers, customers and partners; the challenge of managing asset levels, including inventory; the difficulty of aligning expense levels with revenue changes; assumptions related to pension and other post-retirement costs; expectations and assumptions relating to the execution and timing of cost reduction programs and restructuring plans; the resolution of pending investigations, claims and disputes; and other risks that are described in HP's Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the fiscal quarter ended April 30, 2007 and HP's other filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission, including HP's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended October 31, 2006. As in prior quarters, the financial information set forth in this release, including tax-related items, reflects estimates based on information available at this time. While HP believes these estimates to be meaningful, these amounts could differ materially from actual reported amounts in HP's Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the fiscal quarter ended July 31, 2007. In particular, determining HP's actual tax balances and provisions as of July 31, 2007 and for the fiscal quarter then ended requires extensive internal and external review of tax data (including consolidating and reviewing the tax provisions of numerous domestic and foreign entities), which is being completed in the ordinary course of preparing HP's Form 10-Q. HP assumes no obligation and does not intend to update these forward-looking statements.
