"For example, within the HP ProLiant Essentials Foundation Pack, SmartStart software helps configure our ProLiant servers with identical software images. These automated-provisioning tools increase our productivity - and boost system reliability across the board."

"The DL360 enabled us to run more intensive programs on each server, thus maximizing server space. In addition, rapid deployment is fairly important to us. The DL360 servers were able to be deployed rapidly, and I credit the SmartStart suite as a big reason for this."

----Chris Traylor, IT Administrator

Within an hour, I can install a new server and move on to more important tasks. I don't have time to spare. With HP's management solutions, I can spend my time productively and proactively - delivering greater value to the business."

Equilibrium

"It all came prewrapped on a pallet. Basically we unwrapped and installed it - everything was preconfigured and rackmounted with the screens set up and network connections already plugged in. I installed Windows and everything else using HP SmartStart installation software, which substantially reduced the provisioning and setup time."

----Greg Olson, Information Services Manager

Digital Fountain

"For more than two years, Digital Fountain has relied on the solid, innovative engineering of HP ProLiant products and solutions to help us deliver high-volume, mission-critical data and media rich content. The new SmartStart 6.0 is a positive complement to the existing ProLiant family in our data center because of its ability to simplify the process of building complex server platforms, saving us significant time and IT resources. It was shockingly pleasant not to have to reboot half a dozen times when using SmartStart to deploy your server. Additionally, SmartStart 6.0 has fewer steps, eliminates the potential for mistakes and our quality and efficiency with building server platforms go up."

----Barry Dobyns, Principal Solutions Architect

----Chris McComb, Vice President Solutions Engineering & Technical Operations
