Hi, I’m, Joe Catalanotti, Product Marketing Manager with HP Network Management Center and I’d like to briefly introduce you to three new promotional Network Management bundles being offered for a limited time only - 1) Unified Fault and Performance Management, 2) Automated Network Lifecycle Management, and 3) Service Provider MPLS Infrastructure Management. The bundles contain the related network management products in solution form that would increase the value of your existing NNMi environment or completely install new. Also, each bundle offers a choice for how much of the network environment (nodes) you want to cover. I encourage you to discuss these bundle promotions with either your direct HP sales rep or your HPSW certified partner. Both can offer you these whole solution configurations at affordable pricing. In the meantime, I’ve anticipated some questions and provided answers for your convenience.

1. What is the HP NMC solution bundle promotion? Three distinct and affordable solution packages containing the necessary products to initially deploy fault/performance management, ANLM, or if you are a Service Provider, MPLS infrastructure monitoring and management. Each bundle is offered with either 250 nodes or 1000 nodes. Media kits are also included.

2. Can I add products to this offer? Not as part of these specific bundles.  You may certainly add products outside of these bundle offerings.

3. What are the costs of the HP Bundles? Each bundle is priced affordably and vary due to the type of products and the different node amounts. Please refer to your rep for pricing information.

4. Who can I get these bundles from? Either your HP sales rep or your HPSW channel partner

5. What is the qualifying purchase period for this offer? From September 1, 2009 to March 1, 2010

6. Can I combine this with other HP promotional offers? Yes.
