Help reduce data theft with HP-only technology

PC theft can seriously compromise your critical company information. That's why it's important to have the security tools you can count on to protect your valuable data.

With our exclusive Drive Encryption for HP ProtectTools software, you can encrypt everything on your entire hard drive volume to make it unreadable and inaccessible to unauthorized users. Easy password access lets authorized users in.

Drive Encryption for HP ProtectTools is the industry's only full volume encryption software to come as a standard feature on a PC and is now available on dc7800 series HP business desktop PCs. To enhance and simplify security, it integrates HP ProtectTools solutions with the SafeBoot® Device Encryption™, a leading data encryption solution.

Thanks to an agreement with SafeBoot®, you can take advantage of the pre-installed client version of Drive Encryption — unavailable alone from any other PC provider — without incurring the cost of a full enterprise version. If you want to purchase the enterprise software, SafeBoot offers discounts to HP customers that have dc7700 series platforms. Whichever you choose, you can have a robust, more affordable data security solution.

Device Access Manager for HP ProtectTools is another HP-only security offering. Released for business users in September, this software offers further protection for valuable data and information.

It is especially suited for an office cube environment, where nearly anyone can walk up to a PC, insert removable media, and copy any information from the PC or the connected network.

With Device Access Manager, only authorized users are allowed to copy and store data on devices ranging from USB drive keys, personal music players, CD or DVD writers or other devices. You selectively control the use of these writable storage devices based on a range of profiles, including individual users and user types, as well as individual devices or device class.

Storage and memory options to maximize performance and productivity

Upgrading your memory can be a cost-effective way to boost system performance without having to upgrade your processor. Choose from 512MB, 1GB or 2GB HP PC2-5300 (DDR2 667 or DDR2 800 MHz) Memory DIMMs for faster start-up times with fewer delays during routine operations — enabling you to run more programs simultaneously.

With HP SuperMulti⁽²⁾ LightScribe⁽³⁾ DVD drives, you can now write to most DVD formats, including DVD-RAM. You can also burn your own disc labels from right inside your DVD drive. With the ability to store up to 8.5GB of data and record up to four hours of DVD-quality video, this technology offers you unprecedented storage capacity: nearly twice that of previous-generation drives. Faster transfer rates, combined with conformance to worldwide DVD standards, can make HP SuperMulti LightScribe DVD Drives a highly efficient and cost-effective storage solution for your business.

HP now has SMART IV technology built into 3.5" 7200rpm hard drives on its dc7800 business desktop PC series. With SMART, which stands for Self Monitoring Analysis and Reporting Technology, hard drives monitor their own health. If imminent failures are predicted, SMART sends alerts to IT support staff or users for preventive action. SMART IV technology will further enhance end-to-end error detection for more reliable desktop computing.
