Moving your business forward often means leaving the office behind – but not your work.
Now, more than ever, you need the people who keep your business going to be more productive in more places.
But, as a small or medium business, you may not have the time or staff needed to make the mobile working experience everything it should be – secure, reliable and easy.
That’s where HP comes in. From ultra mobile minis to mega-performance workstations, to service and on-going support, HP can be your one-stop mobility shop.
With HP, you can focus less on the technology that drives your business and more on the business that drives your profits.
Wherever you go, you need to move about with confidence. That’s why we make multi-layered security solutions available across each HP business notebook and mobile workstation series – from our
standard and business series to our professional and
workstation series.
Designed to help safeguard data, control access and prevent theft, they help take the worry out of mobile computing.
For example, Enhanced Pre-boot Security authenticates users before letting them log all the way into the operating system. When users forget passwords,
HP Spare Key asks three personal questions before granting access.1
With HP Disk Sanitizer, sensitive information can be permanently deleted before redeployment or disposal. 2
To help make chat and email more secure, our professional, business and
workstation series include Privacy Manager for HP ProtectTools, which verifies each contacts’ identity with a fingerprint swipe. 3
HP ProtectTools lets you customize solutions to protect every aspect of notebook security – from your data and connections to the device itself.
HP ProBook Notebook PCs feature a range of easy-to-use security solutions for small businesses. The HP Mini also features a Kensington lock slot. Attach it to a stationary object, like a table, to guard against theft.
Our new mobile thin client combines flexibility with the security of server-based computing. Data resides on centralized servers, not the mobile client, to help minimize risks.
Help protect mobile devices against impact, bumps and drops with HP 3D DriveGuard – available on all series of HP business notebooks and mobile workstations. Responding to sudden movements, it temporarily parks the hard drive to reduce risks on the road.
To aid in boosting data protection, our professional and workstation series models have
Dual HDD support for RAID (0) striping and RAID (1) mirroring.
Our professional and workstation series models also feature the solid, aircraft-inspired construction of our
HP DuraCase design, along with HP DuraKeys – coated to be up to 50 times more resistant to visible wear.4 Further,
HP DuraFinish reduces scratches on palm rests, display covers and touchpads, and is included on
business series models, as well.
Get up to 24 hours of battery life on the properly configured HP EliteBook 6930p with Ultra Capacity Battery.5 It’s business rugged for those who spend large chunks of time away from a power source, yet rely heavily on mobile solutions to get their work done.
To help heighten reliability and extended product life, our HP mobile thin clients have fewer moving parts. Solid State Modules also help decrease heat while increasing battery run time and durability.
Have you seen our new HP minis? Starting at just 2.3 lbs, what could be easier to hit the road with? It’s a stylish companion PC for your notebook when you want ultra mobility, plus the productivity of a near-full-sized keyboard and 10.1" diagonal display.
Our new HP Mobile Broadband notebooks take advantage of high-speed wireless data services for the performance, productivity and security of 3G networks. And, you can choose from a range of wireless carriers, thanks to
Gobi technology.6
With HP QuickLook 2 on our business and professional and workstation series, users can access email, calendar, task and contact information in as little as 10 seconds7 – without waiting for the system to power up.
On our professional series and select mobile workstation models, you can flick on the built-in
HP Night Light to improve visibility. The integrated Webcam with Business Card Reader Software on HP EliteBook notebooks lets you video conference (no additional hardware to carry) and scan business cards straight into Outlook.
Professional series users can go thinner and lighter with an HP Illumi-Lite LED display.
Each series features HP SoftPaq Download Manager for a fast, easy way to download software updates to users. Updates are also easy on mobile thin clients, because they’re made on centralized servers, not individual devices. Our HP Windows Upgrade Option Programs are also designed to ease your transition to Windows 7 in October. 8, 9(See sidebar.)
With HP mobility solutions, you can take to the road and leave your worries behind – so you can focus on taking care of your business.
