HP Product Brief
HP NetServers for Business
Intelligence and Mid-Market
Data Warehousing Solutions
Hewlett-Packard has long provided enter-
prise data warehouse and data mart solu-
tions for information storage and retrieval
needs to large corporations worldwide.
Until recently, only large corporate enti-
ties could create data warehouses, depart-
ment-specific data marts of departmental-
ized and replicated data warehouse infor-
mation and business intelligence solutions
to better serve decision support needs
because of the complexity and high
investment required.
Today, mid- and small-sized companies
are being faced with competitive pres-
sures and business demands which have
increased their need to manage, retrieve,
and analyze information on demand. Data
warehousing has become the foundation
for business intelligence, helping busi-
nesses make better and more timely deci-
sions to succeed in today's competitive
environment.
Data warehousing solutions are now
accessible for small- to mid-sized compa-
nies running Intel ® -based server solutions
including Windows ® NT and Novell
NetWare TM . For these companies, data
warehousing solutions require a flexible,
cost-effective platform that can meet
growing business needs and be built on a
solid server infrastructure that offers
highly available, scalable and manageable
components, and experienced product
support and services. HP NetServers pro-
vide the platform of choice.
