CommentsHP (www.hp.com) today introduced the first business desktop system to meet future Microsoft security requirements and support for Microsoft Windows® x64 Editions across platforms for business users.
The new business desktop PCs and workstations with advanced security features are specifically designed to take advantage of enhancements planned for Microsoft's upcoming "Longhorn" operating system.
HP also is enhancing system performance with support for the new Microsoft Windows x64 Edition operating systems across the HP ProLiant server line and on new business desktops and workstations.
The products, announced at Microsoft's WinHEC conference, build on the company's history of collaboration with industry-leading partners such as Microsoft, Intel and AMD to deliver innovative technology solutions that help prepare business customers for the performance and security demands of today and tomorrow.
"Twenty years ago, HP was among the first technology companies to adopt Microsoft's original operating system, and we continue that tradition of sharing industry 'firsts' by joining with Microsoft in the release of its Windows x64 Edition operating systems and delivering next-generation client security features," said Mike Winkler, executive vice president, Customer Solutions Group, and chief marketing officer, HP.
"HP's early support for Microsoft innovations throughout the years has allowed us to jointly deliver value to our customers. HP's introduction of systems that easily run both 32-bit and 64-bit applications and feature next-generation, hardware-based security enables customers to preserve their current investments and prepare to take full advantage of future innovations in Windows Longhorn."
Designed to help protect customers' business systems, the new HP Compaq dc7600 Business Desktop will be the first to ship standard with the HP ProtectTools embedded security chip.
"Broadcom and HP are helping drive the widespread adoption of hardware-based security by making Trusted Platform Module features available in an array of innovative business systems," said Greg Young, senior director and general manager, High-Speed Controller Line of Business, Broadcom.
Designed to meet the Trusted Computing Group's Trusted Platform Module 1.2 standard, the new chip allows HP to deliver the first business desktop compatible with the future security features expected in Microsoft "Longhorn" operating systems.
In addition to enhanced security, the dc7600 will deliver better performance with the new Intel® 945G chipset featuring improved integrated graphics, dual-channel DDR2 memory, SATA II hard drives and support for dual-core processors.
