October 8th, 2007

HP StorageWorks has launched a range of new storage offerings specifically
designed for midsize and growing businesses. The suite of storage offerings
includes HP DL380 G5 Storage Server, 6000 Virtual Library System, StorageWorks
IP Distance Gateway and StorageWorks D2D Backup System that cater to the
business requirements of data consolidation and business continuity.

Midsize customers deal constantly with the restrictions of time, budget,
power and staff. These solutions are tailor-made to cater to these specific
demands, HP said in a statement.

Manoj Suvarna, country manager, HP StorageWorks Division, Hewlett Packard
India Sales Pvt. Ltd, said, "We will continue to deliver innovation across
our entire storage portfolio and provide customers with superior IT
infrastructure that helps them drive business growth and deliver better business
outcomes."

The HP StorageWorks All-in-One SB600c Storage Blade, the newest product of
HP's family of All-in-One Storage Systems (AiOs) for midsize businesses, allows
rapidly growing businesses to quickly add capacity or migrate to new technology
faster and more simply than ever before.

The HP DL380 G5 Storage Server is a fast and easy way for customers to add file
storage to their network. Its pre-installed operating system and pre-configured
internal storage enables businesses to be up and serving files in minutes.

The HP 6000 Virtual Library System simplifies theSAN environment by providing
more virtual devices, reducing the complexity of shared storage while
maintaining the manageability of a single system. The highlights of the new
system are that new higher capacity 750GB drives provide 50 per cent more
storage. The system also offers new hardware compression on the HP VLS6600 and
provides up to 105.6 TB of storage without affecting performance.

The HP StorageWorks D2D Backup System provides data protection for up to four
servers in a single, self-managing device ideal for growing and mid-sized
businesses. This system works with the businesses backup software application to
fully automate daily backup jobs, requiring less manual handling - a real
benefit for organizations with limited IT resources.
