There is no tolerance for business disruptions in today's world. System downtime translates into lost productivity, lost revenue and a significant impact to your reputation. HP understands this issue and provides a broad portfolio of services to keep your IT infrastructure up and running.

HP e-SupportPack is an electronic version of the packaged HP SupportPack and offers greater flexibility by providing more service options.

This support program includes maintenance, which is limited to 3 years or 1.8 million pages.

Double the pixel density and resolution in a plasma display. The highest resolution you can get in a 50-inch flat screen - in fact, it's a world-first. The PDP-5000EX has a resolution of 1920 x 1080 and is capable of displaying the entire range of High Definition sources, including 720p, 1080i and 1080p - this is the first plasma display capable of 1080p.

What this means is that you get the ultimate in High Definition image detail, color accuracy and fast moving image clarity - made possible by the displays higher pixel count and faster refresh rate (of 720p). Again, the best you'll find in a 50-inch flat screen. The PDP-5000EX accepts both standard and high definition sources and will automatically "smart" convert these to give you the highest resolution picture possible.

The T-17SXL is a compact, ergonomic, pen-driven, SXGA resolution 17-inch LCD display provided with the StarBoard Software suite of presentation and collaboration tools. The T-17SXL raises the bar in tablet presentation technology with a 17-inch LCD display screen that boasts SXGA resolution, excellent color and contrast, and a thin screen that assures natural, accurate operation. Other technological innovations include built-in video pass-through permitting the connection of projectors and computers with the StarBoard system without requiring an external video splitting amplifier.

Eight hardware function buttons permit full screen operation without requiring constant use of on-screen menus. The T-17SXL is connected to a standard PC via USB link and comes with a smoothly adjustable tilt stand.

Perhaps the most powerful innovation is the inclusion of the latest in the StarBoard suite of professional presentation and collaboration software. StarBoard Software's intuitive, icon-driven interface enables presenters to easily operate in a whiteboard mode or to annotate right over Windows applications or digital video on the display. Collaboration software lets the T-17SXL easily communicate with other StarBoard systems and allows for simultaneous viewing and annotation by multiple systems connected either locally or across the Internet.

With its high brightness and SXGA+ resolution, the Hitachi CP-SX635 3LCD projector is ideal for simulator applications where acute display of small details is important.

The CP-SX635 offers a 2,000-hour hybrid filter, making maintenance and cleaning much less frequent. The lens shift option makes the CP-SX635 very easy to install. Additionally, 16 watts of audio provide ample sound for most applications; while the audio pass-through function allows users to put the projector in standby mode when only audio is needed.

The CP-SX635 can also be remotely controlled and maintained through a LAN network connection, providing the ability to network, control and maintain the projectors remotely. The network functionality also makes it easy to control multiple projectors in different rooms and to monitor for functions such as remaining lamp life.

The VPN Accelerator Card Plus (VAC+) for the Cisco PIX Firewall Series provides high-performance tunneling and encryption services suitable for site-to-site and remote-access applications. This hardware-based virtual private network (VPN) accelerator is optimized to handle the repetitive but voluminous mathematical functions required for IP Security (IPSec). Offloading encryption functions to the Cisco PIX Firewall VAC+ not only improves IPSec encryption processing, but also maintains high-end firewall performance. As an integral component of the Cisco VPN solution, the Cisco PIX Firewall VAC+ provides platform scalability and security while smoothly working with the services necessary for successful VPN deployments - encryption, tunneling, and firewall.

The Cisco PIX Firewall VAC+ adds Advanced Encryption Standard (AES) hardware acceleration to the Cisco PIX Firewall. Also known as Rijndael, AES provides a better combination of safety and speed than Data Encryption Standard (DES). Using 128-bit secret keys, AES offers higher security against brute-force attacks than older 56-bit DES keys and can use 192-bit and 256-bit keys as well. AES is computationally more efficient than DES and can work at multiple network layers simultaneously. In October 2000 the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) of the U.S. Department of Commerce selected AES as a new encryption technique for protecting computerized information. It is expected to replace DES, which was adopted by the U.S. Department of Defense in 1977.

The Cisco PIX Firewall VAC+, which fits into a PCI slot inside the Cisco PIX chassis, encrypts data using 56-bit DES; 168-bit Triple DES (3DES); and 128-, 192-, and 256-bit AES algorithms at speeds up to 440 Mbps. A Cisco PIX Firewall equipped with a VAC+ can support as many as 2, 000 encrypted tunnels for concurrent sessions with mobile users or other sites. In addition to encryption, the card handles numerous other IPSec-related tasks - hashing, key exchange, and storage of security associations - freeing the Cisco PIX Firewall main processor and memory to perform other perimeter security functions.

The Cisco 1841 router features secure, fast, and high-quality delivery of multiple, concurrent services for small-to-medium-sized businesses and small enterprise branch offices. The Cisco 1841 router offers embedded hardware-based encryption enabled by an optional Cisco IOS Software security image; further enhancement of VPN performance with an optional VPN acceleration module; an intrusion prevention system (IPS) and firewall functions; interfaces for a wide range of connectivity requirements, including support for optional integrated switch ports; plus sufficient performance and slot density for future network expansion and advanced applications as well as an integrated real-time clock.

Designed for exact compatibility with OKI products, only OKI consumables ensure maximum performance, longevity and ultimate cost-effectiveness.

Providing a powerful brightness of 5500 lumens, the LV-7575 projects images up to 400" diagonal. Designed for large venues, it features advanced multimedia connectivity, functionality and flexibility.

Canon's LV-7575 utilizes highly efficient optics and a new projection lamp, resulting in an incredible 5500 lumens brightness. The projector is capable of outstanding performance in large venues, and is powerful enough to fill a screen of up to 400 inches in diagonal.

Equipped with Native XGA resolution (1024 x 768 pixels), the LV-7575 can display images up to UXGA (1600 x 1200 pixels) via high-quality compression. This projector is also capable of displaying HDTV images, in both 720p and 1080i formats. The large 1.3" LCD panels have a high aperture ratio, keeping the unwanted 'lattice effect' to a minimum.

The LV-7575's high 800: 1 contrast ratio delivers vibrant color, darker blacks, brighter whites and better detail for rich, visually appealing images.

The LV-7575 is supplied with a new compact 1.3x zoom lens, suitable for a wide range of installation scenarios. The powered zoom and focus offer easy adjustment via the Remote Control. The lens shift can be varied between 10: 0 and 1: 1, allowing the image height to be raised or lowered with no loss of quality.

To optimize image quality, the LV-7575 incorporates a special 10-bit video processing circuit. 3D Noise Reduction suppresses the production of random on-screen noise, and Intelligent Sharpness Control improves image clarity. Color Management allows manual control over specific hues, while Auto Picture Control ensures lifelike, natural colors and accurate contrast.

Equipped with DVI, 5 x BNC, Component and S-Video interfaces, the LV-7575 is capable of displaying images from practically any source. High Definition sources (720p / 1080i / 1080PsF) can also be reproduced with amazing quality. The DVI-D port is HDCP compliant, allowing encrypted content to be correctly displayed. SCART connectivity can be accommodated via an optional adaptor, and an external monitor coupled to the RGB Output terminal.
