re: HP employees get a chance to give back

It was so good to read your story.

We are a very, very small company that provides a fun service for kids in both Denver and Colorado Springs for an establishment known as Mr. Biggs.

We try to keep full time jobs because the 2,000 plus families and kids that use our service basically keep the service going and part of the income in our Denver site is cash given to the County Social Services to assist those situations that warrant emergencies.

We have the top end of networked arcade virtual reality simulators that require about 100 hours a month in labor and about $1,400 a month in maintennan and gas to support this family oriented fun activity.

We have actual bootcamps, competitions, and promote fun activities for a family atmosphere. We also donate time for kids with special needs, both financial and physical. We also conduct Corporate Team Building (I wish HP could consider) that levels physical state - and lets teams deal with resouce management under stress.

If by chance you have the resources or someone we caould talk to, we have two request from HP.

We have received donations from companies such as ATI, NVDIA, Alian Ware, Star Bucks, Home Depot, ...

These are small donations such as T-shirts, decals (decals are hot items), optical mouse, "Easy Button" and small items.

We have competitions and let players (adult, teams of parents/kids, and kids) receive some prize.

If HP has any T-shirts, periferials, decals, mouse pads, that were last year's model.... Please, Please let us give them away. HP can get full recgonition. We have Copyrighted orginianl Art for our Science Fiction theam, if HP would print some quality posters... that would be extremely welcome for a prize as well!

We also have room to set up a networked video game room for the same game. We have the staff to donate time to maintain it. The processor needs for a desktop (or server) are 5 years old. Before you dispose of a classroom of old workstations (or portables, or servers) would you please consider letting them go to a home that will be appreciated? We will charge a nonimal fee for overhead and a significant percentage will also go to the County Social Services that will really appreciate every dollar that helps some family or individual in crisis.

Sorry to beg, but as an IT professional, I have seen so much in a company trown away.

I hope that you can help.

Re: A Discussion with Technology for Busines

Thanks for your question.

Based on the information you've given, I would recommend contacting our Server and Storage specialists through Chat. They will ask you more in-depth questions regarding your environment and future plans and then recommend the best solution for your needs.

If you are looking for more scalability, the right recommendation may be upgrading the internal components in your existing servers or to purchase new, but finding out more about your business needs and what is important to you would help to recommend the best solution.

You can reach our presales experts by going to http://www.hp.com/sbso/assist/chat.html and clicking on the systems infrastructure chat link.

Please let us know if you have additional questions!

Our company is deciding whether to rebuild our exisiting hardware, replace with HP Servers or go virtual. I've had numerous vendors give me qoutes on rebuilding our exisiting environment, creating a virtual environment and replacing our current server farm with new HP servers. My discussion questions is am I making the right decision to replace our current server. We have very robust servers that are starting to show thier age. Frequent problems, no scalability at this point. We can rebuild the guts of the servers, or keep fixing issues as they occur. I'm just not sure if the justification for the total cost for hew hardware will give me the return on the ROI. Debbie

Re: HP sales team gets an A+

In this day and age where Operating systems get overhauled on a yearly basis, we do struggle all the time with the question of upgrading. Recently, we did look into upgrading our Sales and customer service workstations with Vista from XP. Only to realize that it is not as seamless as it was when we did the upgrade from 2000. Hence, We did look into a complete new solution with HP Vista based workstations. The sales team over at HP is to be commended for all their efforts to make this transition as smooth as possible. Given that the Upgrade would cost a good bit, we were pleased to find out that financing was indeed available with very affordable rates. We look forward, as a medium size business, to be a leader in retail of shoe trees products industry with the help and focus of the professional team at HP. D.

Re: Thoughts on Printer Emission Report

Anneliese Olson — Sun, 09 Sep 2007 18:05:00 GMT

Thanks for taking the time to reach out and comment. While I appreciate the comment, I do want to point out one thing. HP does spend a lot of time making sure we have the enviornmental side of our products managed well- products are tested, new qualifications are researched and met, etc. Our statement said that hp has evaluated design criteria from the GREENGUARD program and incorporated guidelines into our LaserJet printers. We did not say the printers were certified by the team at GREENGUARD. Regards, Anneliese

Re: Thoughts on Printer Emission Report

Anneliese, As I indicated in a similar blog to Vince Ferraro, my concern has far less to do with the Austrailian study than it does with how HP has responded. Clearly, printers release chemicals and particles, the health consequences of which, particularly long-term, are unclear. But, in the public statement HP releases, it indicated that HP tests its printers to the GREENGUARD program. As the CEO of GREENGUARD, this is simply not true. No HP products have even been certified and none have been tested to the GREENGUARD levels within at least the last year or so. I would encourage HP to take a leadership position on this issue and make much more visible the important of third-party testing and certification.
