remote management solutions, integrated HP Remote
Assistant and HP Toptools Remote Control card, provide

• HP OpenView Managex Event Manager, shipped with
every HP Netserver L series server, maximizes availability
through centralized operating system management of
Microsoft Windows and Novell NetWare.
• HP Integrated Remote Assistant, built into selected
HP Netserver L series servers, allows you to remotely
manage, troubleshoot, and perform automatic monitoring
and reporting via a simple modem connection—even if the
operating system is down or the power is off.
• The HP Toptools Remote Control card provides industry-
leading remote management capabilities, enabling you to
take remote control of your HP Netserver from anywhere—
regardless of the server's state—with just a Web browser.
In addition, HP's strategic partnerships with leading
management software providers further assure you of complete
solutions that will make short work of your administrative tasks.
complete, well-built solutions your
business can depend on
When you buy a server from HP , you can rest assured you're
getting the best, most advanced technology in the computing
industry. Nonetheless, we understand that state-of-the-art
technology doesn't do much good if it doesn't work for you.
That's why—before the name "Hewlett-Packard" goes on our
Netservers—we rigorously test every server to prove that it can
deliver on the promise of our name.
Our component redundancy gives you additional assurance
of the dependability of our HP Netservers—and differentiates
HP from other vendors. We have extensively studied server
components that are critical to server operation—such
as fans, power supplies, controller cards, and host bus
adapters—and have included duplicates in our servers to
provide built-in backup.
To meet your storage requirements now and in the future,
HP Surestore storage products are the most flexible storage
solutions in the industry. Our new tape library family, for
example, includes configurable models based on a common
architecture—delivering the capacity, throughput, and price
points you need today, and the upgradability to meet your
future needs. You can start with SCSI and migrate to Fibre
Channel at any time. Use DLT technology today, and switch to
Linear Tape Open (LTO) or Super DLT technology in the future.
With HP , you grow into—not out of—your storage solution.
And, if you plan to enhance your HP Netserver in the future
with additional memory, storage capacity, or controller cards—
or should your server require service—you'll find our design
considerations make it easy to upgrade or service your
HP Netserver.
