To quote Michael Caine…

October 29, 2014

…“Not a lot of people know that”.

Don’t bend the fiber cable too much, the Laser light travelling down the cable can actually crash in to the internal walls of the cable (attenuation), this is called Macro bending. HP’s revolutionary PremierFlex cables use a new bendable fiber technology that significantly improves bend performance over existing fiber cables. Keep your fiber loops bigger than 37.5MM to avoid Macro bending altogether.

HP to separate into two leading companies

October 6, 2014

How does that affect HP iQuote?

Today we have heard the announcement about HP separating into two leading public companies. One will be HP’s market-leading enterprise infrastructure, software and services businesses, which will do business as Hewlett-Packard Enterprise, and one that will comprise HP’s market-leading printing and personal systems businesses, which will do business as HP Inc.

This change has been driven to deliver independence, focus, financial resources and flexibility to adapt quickly to the market.

For Partners, this separation is to be good news as interactions will be simplified and we’ll see lots more innovation coming out of the two organisations.

Those customers using HP iQuote will be aware that the product portfolio spans across Enterprise Infrastructure, Software & Services, Printing and Personal Systems Group. channelcentral can confirm, that the separation of the two businesses will make absolutely no change to the way HP iQuote works in terms of Product Portfolio, Subscriptions or Contacts.

CEO Meg Whitman said in her closing statement “Both companies will have the same commitment to the channel that our partners have come to trust, but with more focus, flexibility and accountability.  We look forward to partnering with you in the next phase of our journey.”

For further information on the separation Register for the global partner webcast with HP on October 7 at 10:00 a.m. PT.
