Wireless technologies provide increasingly mobile workforces with faster access to time-critical information. The result is increased productivity, improved decision-making, and accelerated customer responsiveness. For example, on-the-go professionals can use wireless local area network (WLAN) hot spots in public venues, such as airports, hotels, and coffee shops, to connect to the Internet, corporate intranet, email, enterprise data, and applications with speed and ease. Or, in a manufacturing environment, supervisors and production workers can remotely monitor the quality of work in process. Benefits Access when you need it, where you need it Real mobile productivity with broadband connectivity Complete, integrated end-to-end solutions A single view and comprehensive network map of Cisco and other IP devices Prompt identification and resolution of root cause problems Quantification of business impact resulting from network faults

In a knowledge-based economy, information is king. But information that is difficult to access, vulnerable to disaster, or costly to keep is more risk than asset. Cisco and HPs storage networking solutions deliver innovative design for unprecedented scalability, availability, security, and management. Networked storage is the way to effectively converge and consolidate multiple storage architectures to reduce the cost and complexity of managing the inevitable data explosion. Benefits Centralized storage management for operational efficiency Business continuance and disaster recovery to protect your data Scalability across the enterprise Increased network availability through innovative design
