2;HP Channel Partners
New VAC term: "HP Channel Partner" replaces "VAB"
New VAC term: "HP Channel Partner" replaces "VAB"
Marcia Nowicky/Americas VAC Marketing Center
Americas Value-Added Channel (VAC) Marketing Center is
introducing a new term to refer to value-added businesses
(VABs). Corporate Legal and the Computer Systems
Organization (CSO) VAC Management Council have approved "HP
Channel Partner" as the replacement term for "VAB."
The change underscores how HP's strategic commitment to
indirect channels marketing is continually evolving. HP
coined "VAB" several years ago to collectively describe
companies that resell or leverage sales of HP computer
systems products. The term was created to connote a more
strategic relationship than the term "third party" implies.
Since then HP's focus on alternate channels has become even
stronger, creating an internal need for VAC terminology that
better reflects this increased strategic focus.
There are also external needs for this change. HP's use of
the word "partner" is in keeping with competitive trends in
the industry to refer to leveragers and resellers as
partners.
Now you may refer to any company that has signed a CSO
channel contract or catalog agreement as an HP Channel
Partner. Current CSO indirect distribution channels
include:
certified workstation reseller (CWR); includes franchisor
and franchisee
complementary vendor (CV)
distributor
distributor authorized reseller (DAR)
independent software vendor (ISV, formerly software supplier
original equipment manufacturer (OEM)
systems integrator (SI)
value-added reseller (VAR)
master VAR
The nomenclature change is effective immediately within CSO
Americas and may be leveraged worldwide where appropriate.
Check with your local legal and VAC management regarding
non-English terminology recommended for use outside the U.S.
You may start transitioning this new term into internal and external
marketing communications efforts whenever you undertake new projects.
Before you begin, be sure that you
fully understand and follow the terminology guidelines.
Strict adherence to the guidelines, which have been approved
by Corporate Legal, will ensure that HP's use of the word
"partner" will not be legally misconstrued.
HP Channel Partner terminology usage guidelines
Use "HP Channel Partner" as a replacement term for "VAB"--
"HP Channel Partner" is the preferred term to use when
individually or collectively referring to companies that
leverage or resell HP products. Channel Partners include
CWRs, CVs, distributors, DARs, ISVs, OEMs, SIs, VARs, and
master VARs.
use: Channel Partner
do not use: value-added business, VAB, third party
Always use initial capital letters--"HP Channel Partner" is
a proper noun; always capitalize the first letter of each
word.
use: HP Channel Partner, Channel Partner
do not use: HP channel partner, channel partner
Never drop the word "Channel"--You may drop the "HP" after
the first time you use the phrase "HP Channel Partner," but
always include the word "Channel" as part of the phrase.
use: HP Channel Partner, Channel Partner, workstation
Channel Partner
do not use: Partner, HP Partner, Workstation Partner
Do not mix other channel terms with "Channel Partner"--
"Channel Partner" is a standalone term. It should not be
combined with any other channel descriptors such as "value-
added," "third-party," "ISV," or "VAR."
do not use: Value-Added Channel Partner, VAB Channel
Partner, Third-Party Channel Partner, ISV (or VAR, OEM, and
so forth) Channel Partner
Do not use an abbreviation for Channel Partner to external
audiences--There is no officially approved abbreviation for
"HP Channel Partner," although some entities have begun to
use CP or CPs. This is acceptable internally but should not
be used in external communications.
external use: HP Channel Partner (no abbreviations)
internal use: CP
Be careful not to suggest that HP's use of the term "HP
Channel Partner" implies any actual legal partnership or
sharing of management responsibilities between HP and its
Channel Partners.

Total sale: $15 million
Competition: laptop PCs
Length of sales cycle: 18 months
Sales rep, office, phone: Rob Chomko, Naperville, Illinois,

Selling points
Key factors were the HP product's ruggedness, portability, built-in CD-
ROM, and integrated tester features.
Integrated Systems Division (ISD) and CAT developed the
CAT Service Information System (SIS), which provides service
technicians with instant electronic access to hundreds of
thousands of pages of service information. SIS will allow
more accurate parts identification and faster, less
expensive service and repair.
CAT SIS resulted from a two-year development project between
CAT's Technical Information Division and ISD. The objective of the
HP/CAT project was to create a paperless, portable diagnostic tool for
CAT dealer repair technicians and parts counter
personnel. ISD's technical expertise was key in the development of the
project. HP won the deal over several other bids. CAT found HP's
solution to be the only product with technical
information, including text and graphics, and
computer-guided diagnostics.
SIS, which includes the HP TestBook portable tester and
electronic book system, allows CAT service technicians to go
where CAT earth-moving equipment is used--even in remote
locations--with the latest service information and
diagnostic procedures available by electronic access. SIS
allows service technicians to quickly diagnose and repair
machine problems. SIS has replaced repair manuals.

Product name: Lotus Realtime
Description: software product that transforms Lotus 1-2-3
into a high-performance, real-time analytical tool that
enables users to analyze markets and spot trends more
quickly and effectively
Target market: financial and other markets where real-time
data gathering and analysis are important; traders, analysts,
and portfolio managers who must often make business-critical
decisions in seconds
Features and benefits
Lotus Realtime is based on a client/server architecture that
allows flexibility in system configuration. Customers can
choose the computing solution that best meets their needs,
whether it be a workstation-based system with single users
running 1-2-3 and Lotus Realtime locally or a server-based
system with Lotus Realtime and 1-2-3 supporting a network of
workstations and X terminals.
Lotus Realtime brings multiple sources of real-time market
data into a single 1-2-3 worksheet, eliminating the need to
enter data into 1-2-3 by hand. To perform customer analysis
according to personal modeling strategies, Lotus Realtime
enables you to combine your choice of real-time market data
and work with it using a familiar application, Lotus 1-2-3.
Lotus Realtime consists of three components: Lotus 1-2-3,
the Lotus Realtime Engine, and feed servers. 1-2-3 receives
data in real time from the Lotus Realtime Engine. The
Realtime Engine controls the flow of data into 1-2-3 from as
many as 16 feed servers. Feed servers are programs
developed by third parties that collect real-time market
data from a data feed and convert data into a common format
for delivery to the Realtime Engine.
Ordering information
Lotus Realtime U.S. list price is $1,150 per user. Lotus 1-
2-3, which lists for $695, is required. Lotus Realtime and Lotus 1-2-3
can be purchased together for $1,660. Lotus

HP OpenMail clients of choice strategy
Debra Thompson/PWD
HP OpenMail is pursuing an open, standards-based
strategy to meet customer needs for integration into
multivendor, client/server computing environments. HP OpenMail, a
native X.400, standards-based messaging system, provides user and
administrator functionality at one of the lowest overall costs
of ownership in the industry.
HP OpenMail will support leading APIs such as MAPI
(Microsoft's messaging API) and VIM (Vendor Independent
Messaging), which will enable customers to have a choice in
messaging clients and applications. Developments with Microsoft, Lotus
cc:Mail, and Clarity will allow the MS Mail 3.0 Windows client, the
cc:Mail Windows client, and Clarity
Rapport to run as native clients with HP OpenMail. Customers can have
access to a standards-based messaging backbone from HP along with a
choice of leading client user interfaces. HP OpenMail
will help eliminate e-mail gateways that have proliferated throughout
large corporate mailing environments, and it will help lower the support
and administration costs involved with LanMail
systems.

DAT data compression support on Series 800
Celia Watts/CPB
With the introduction of HP-UX 9.0, the HP Series 6400 Model
2000DC, P/N C1521B, is fully supported on HP 9000 Series 800
systems.
The recent release of HP-UX 9.0 provides support of the
following features: data compression, boot/install/update,
standard HP-UX backup commands including fbackup and
frecover, Digital Data Storage (DDS) Fastsearch (fast random
file access) via fbackup and frecover, and DAT with HP
OmniBack and OmniBack/Turbo.
Customers can take advantage of the significant performance
benefits of data compression. The Model 2000DC standalone
SCSI DAT drive stores 4-8 GB of data on a single 90-m DDS
cassette and transfers up to 2-1/2 GB of data/hour. Data
compression performance is wholly dependent on the type of
data being compressed and transfer rates are host and
operating system dependent.
DAT with data compression is also supported under HP-UX 9.0
as an integrated drive in HP 9000 Model 8X7 systems. Order
option AT2 to take advantage of the higher performance DAT
drive with data compression.

Software license transfer procedures
Software license transfer procedures
Andrew Berlinberg/CSY
When customers buy equipment from HP or HP-authorized
resellers/distributors, the purchase price includes a
software license to use HP MPE/iX, TurboIMAGE, and
ALLBASE/SQL. HP never sells this software; HP licenses it.
Some customers purchase HP equipment from parties not
affiliated with HP or HP-authorized resellers/distributors.
These unaffiliated parties can include end-user customers
who are reselling equipment or equipment brokers. As
unaffiliated parties do not have the right to sublicense HP
software, customers buying equipment from these sources must
obtain valid software licenses. Customers can obtain proper
licensing through software license transfers or by
purchasing software and associated licenses directly from
HP.
For more information
Access the CSY Hotline, subject SWLICN, for specific
procedural information. The hotline article includes a
letter for customers that outlines software license transfer
requirements.

New HP OmniBack release adds functionality
New HP OmniBack release adds functionality
Bettina Waldeck/NSMD
Product names and P/Ns: HP OmniBack, HP OmniBack/Turbo; see
text for P/Ns
Additional functionality has been added to HP OmniBack and
OmniBack/Turbo with the release of new Version A.02.03.
HP OmniBack enhancements
easy restore through introduction of a log file analyzer
that eliminates the need for reviewing log files manually--
The log file analyzer extracts all information needed from
the log files and generates the appropriate restore command.
This command can be executed automatically or manually.
support of Sun SPARCstations and MS-DOS clients--Sun
SPARCstations can be backed up to HP OmniBack Domain or HP-
UX backup servers. Supported Sun/OS versions are 4.1.1 and
4.1.2 (for more details please see "HP OmniBack client
software for Sun Microsystems workstations" in the July 1
Computer News). MS-DOS PC integration into the HP OmniBack
backup environment is offered through interoperation of HP
OmniBack with QUEST Plan-B/UX. PC backup is initiated and
managed without user intervention and can even proceed while
PC users are running applications. Both HP LANManager and
Novell NetWare PCs are supported.
HP OmniBack/Turbo enhancements
all enhancements made to HP OmniBack
online backup capability for Oracle databases--Through the
establishment of online backup using the Oracle HotBackup
feature in combination with HP OmniBack/Turbo, system
downtime during backup of Oracle databases is eliminated.
Support
Supported operating system versions are HP-UX 8.0X and 9.0,
Domain/OS SR 10.3 and 10.4, and SunOS 4.1.1 and 4.1.2.
Systems running the older versions of HP OmniBack or
OmniBack/Turbo can be mixed with ones running the new
versions; however, depending on the configuration, not all
of the new functionality may be available. The same applies
to the integration of systems running HP-UX 7.X. Recommend
an update of all systems to the new HP OmniBack and
OmniBack/Turbo version.
For both products, the enhanced versions for HP-UX 8.0X,
Domain/OS SR 10.3 and 10.4, and Sun/OS 4.1.1 and 4.1.2 will
be available by mid-October. Shipments are planned for
first quarter FY93 for corresponding HP-UX 9.0 products.
Ordering information
HP OmniBack and OmniBack/Turbo product structure and pricing
remain unchanged.

Introducing HP GlancePlus Pak/UX for HP 9000 systems
Introducing HP GlancePlus Pak/UX for HP 9000 systems
Jim Jen/SWT
P26.tif (Graphic)
Product name and P/N: HP GlancePlus Pak/UX, see text for
P/Ns
Description: new performance tool that combines HP
GlancePlus/UX and Performance Collection software, formerly
known as the HP LaserRX/UX Collection software
Target market: HP 9000/HP Apollo 9000 customers who want an online
monitoring and diagnostic tool but also want to log
historical data
Features and benefits
HP GlancePlus/UX software provides online monitoring and
diagnostic capabilities. Customers can view current system
activity and isolate and resolve performance bottlenecks
when they occur.
HP Performance Collection software provides customers
historical performance data for long-term trending. A
patented SCOPE program efficiently logs performance metrics
that can be viewed on the host HP 9000 or exported to
spreadsheet and graphics packages. (For more information on
the HP Performance Collection software, see next article.)
Combining these software capabilities into one product gives
customers more flexibility and lower support costs (one
support number).
Product line positioning
Similar to HP GlancePlus, HP GlancePlus Pak/UX is positioned
as easy to use, entry level, and affordable. It should be
presented as the entry-level performance solution for HP-UX
customers; the standalone HP GlancePlus product should be
considered as the solution for customers who do not need
historical trending data. Customers who are interested in
historical information should also consider HP LaserRX/UX
Analysis software for sophisticated performance data
analysis.
Competitive positioning
Emphasize HP GlancePlus Pak's ease of use, HP's extensive
expertise in the area of HP-UX performance management, and
HP's complete family of performance solutions. Point out
the flexibility in HP's solutions with the introduction of
HP GlancePlus Pak, the continuing availability of HP
GlancePlus, and the powerful analysis capabilities in HP
LaserRX Analysis software.
Current HP GlancePlus/UX and LaserRX/UX Collection software
customers can purchase upgrades to HP GlancePlus Pak/UX and
receive substantial return credits on the original
purchases.
Configuration information
HP GlancePlus Pak/UX is available on HP-UX 8.0 or later.

HP LaserRX/UX enhancements and repricing
HP LaserRX/UX enhancements and repricing
Jim Jen/SWT
Product name and P/N: HP LaserRX/UX Analysis software, HP
LaserRX/UX Collection software; see text for P/Ns
Description: system resource management software that
provides comprehensive system activity information for HP
9000
Target market: HP 9000 customers who want access to system
activity and performance information
Both the Analysis and Collection software components of HP
LaserRX/UX have been enhanced to provide more power and
flexibility in HP 9000 systems management. Effective with
the October Corporate Price List, HP LaserRX/UX Collection
software has been repriced and renamed HP Performance
Collection software for HP-UX systems.
Features and benefits
new non-CD based analysis software--Analysis software will
be distributed on 5 1/4- and 3 1/2-inch floppy media. There
is no new functionality in this analysis software update,
but the new media removes the CD-ROM drive hardware
requirement.
new host access to data--Access to the performance data is
available directly on the HP 9000. The EXTRACT program has
a new export command that can produce ASCII or binary
performance data files on the HP 9000. This allows
customers to generate reports and transfer data to other
analysis packages from the host system.
new user interface for UTILITY and EXTRACT programs--A
command-driven user interface replaces the prompt-and-answer
dialog used in earlier versions. Command-line capability
has been added. Enhancements to the UTILITY and EXTRACT programs make
it easier to accomplish unattended batch operations.

New upgrade-ready HP Apollo 9000 Series 400 configurations
New upgrade-ready HP Apollo 9000 Series 400
configurations
Evan James/ESD
Product names and P/Ns: HP Apollo 9000 Model 425T Domain
CRX configured for PA-RISC upgrade, P/N A2546A; Model 433S
Domain CRX configured for PA-RISC upgrade, P/N A2560A
Description: Model 425T and 433S standard configurations
configured for quick and easy PA-RISC upgrade
Target market: Domain customers who have not converted to HP-UX and
plan to upgrade to the HP Apollo 9000 Series 700 as part of their HP-UX
migration
The recently introduced PA-RISC upgrades for Series 400
provide inexpensive and convenient upgrade paths for
customers who are still using Domain/OS but are planning to
migrate to HP-UX soon to take advantage of Series 700 power.
Two new Domain Series 400 configurations make upgrading even
easier.
Features and benefits
The new configurations come with enough RAM to take full
advantage of the PA-RISC upgrade's performance and enough
disk capacity to load HP-UX 9.0 and ample swap space. A CPU
board swap only is needed when the upgrade arrives, and
customers have access to over 55 SPECmarks.
The configurations include the DMX user interface, which
helps smooth the transition to HP-UX. It provides a
familiar environment to Domain users as it incorporates most
of the functionality of the DM Editor but uses OSF/Motif.

New keyboards for Series 300/400/700 workstations and
controllers
New keyboards for Series 300/400/700 workstations and
controllers
Vern Rhead/WSG
Effective November 1, new HP-HIL keyboards, which are
included in must-order localization options for HP Apollo
9000 Series 400/700 and HP 9000 Series 300 workstations and
controllers, will replace current keyboards in all systems
shipped with HP-UX 9.0. Other systems will transition to
the new keyboards after November 1 as inventory permits.
The new keyboards are designed to deliver best-in-class
performance in areas of quality and ergonomics while
maintaining complete compatibility with the previous
keyboards in areas of key placement and key coding. Design
improvements for the new keyboards include improved key feel
and locator cues for speed and touch typing (demonstrated in
high-speed typing tests, blind preference tests, and
installed-base acceptance tests), a smaller form factor to
free up desk space, and an enhanced three-level kick stand
that provides greater choice in selecting comfortable hand
positions.
The following localization kits are affected by the keyboard
change: P/Ns A1099A, A1099B, A1099C (HP-UX style layout);
A2205A, A2205B (PC-style layout).

HP announces a combination price reduction and price
promotion of the HP Apollo 9000 Model 720CRX-24Z to specifically compete
with SGI Indigo 3D systems in accelerated 3D MCAD, AEC, and GIS markets.
The HP solution has nearly three times the
systems performance of the Silicon Graphics (SGI) Indigo XS/24Z and
approaches twice the systems performance of the SGI R4000 Indigo XS/24Z
at a comparable price.

Competitive positioning
Accelerated 3D hardware provides the difference between
visual realism and much slower software-only solutions. HP
and SGI are among the leaders in this area. Previously only
available on expensive, high-end workstations, effective 3D
systems are now available at the desktop level. HP's
repricing represents a concerted effort by HP to remain the
number-one volume workstation supplier in this area. It is
also HP's first step in what will be an ongoing program to
lead the industry in desktop 3D systems.
See Computer News promotions insert for details of the
additional U.S. $5,000 price reduction, Promotion 2.670,
name: 3D Aggressor.

New HP EtherTwist Hub provides easy upgrade path
New HP EtherTwist Hub provides easy upgrade path
Susan McNeil/RND
Product names and P/Ns: HP EtherTwist Hub/12, P/N 28684B;
HP EtherTwist Management upgrade kit, P/N J2341A
Description: upgradable, unmanaged HP EtherTwist 12-port,
10Base-T hub; separate upgrade kit that can be added at any
time to provide network management functionality equivalent
to that of HP EtherTwist Hub Plus, P/N 28688B
Target market: MIS and network managers, LAN/network system
administrators
Features and benefits
HP EtherTwist Hub/12:
25-pin RS-232 console port
15-pin AUI port
BNC port
standard 50-pin Telco connector for the 12 10Base-T ports
12-port, RJ-45 modular adapter option--may be installed on
the standard 50-pin Telco connector to connect 12 RJ-45
unshielded twisted-pair ports to the HP EtherTwist Hub/12
HP EtherTwist Management upgrade kit:
ability to respond to requests from the HP OpenView Network
Management Station
backup link support--enhances network fault tolerance (a
configurable, automatically activated redundant connection)
Internet Protocol (IP) parameter configuration--allows the
hub to be accessible using IP
PING test capability--tests the link between the hub and a
second connected device that responds to IP packets
password-setting capability--prevents unauthorized access of
the hub from network management stations
embedded advanced sampling environment (EASE) functionality-
-allows the hub to perform trend analysis using embedded
instrument technology
IP or IPX simple network management protocol management
capability
The upgrade procedure involves a software download (to the
FLASH EEPROM firmware resident on the HP EtherTwist Hub/12)
via the RS-232 console port. The upgrade kit provides the
software download and a unique password for each hub that is
to be upgraded. Unlike most vendors which require
additional hardware or in some cases an additional hub to
upgrade their solutions to support network management, the
HP EtherTwist upgrade does not require hardware additions.
The upgrade kit also includes:
5-1/4- and 3-1/2-inch floppy disks with upgrade code
installation guide
null modem adapter
password certificate--This is serialized. To obtain the
unique password the certificate must be completed and
returned to HP per the instructions. The password serves as
a key enabling the network management capability to be
downloaded from floppy disk to hub.

Distributed optical storage management for Domain and HP-UX
networks
Distributed optical storage management for Domain and HP-UX
networks
Peter Way/GSD
Product name: NetArchive from Advanced Software Concepts
Description: distributed hierarchical storage management
and file migration system with HP optical disk libraries
Target market: Domain/OS and HP-UX users who require file
migration capabilities on heterogeneous networks
NetArchive reduces the cost of network storage by moving
infrequently used files from local hard disks to storage
vaults (optical jukeboxes). The local hard disks are left
available for active data storage.
Features and benefits
file migration--Free disk space is increased by moving
targeted files to storage vaults.
transparent restoration--Migrated files remain on network
clients as virtual files. Users and applications access
migrated files as if they were on the local disks.
unique platform support--File systems such as Domain/OS file
types, ACLs, and CDFs retain native functionality.
distributed functionality--Multiple storage vaults can be
placed throughout the heterogeneous network to provide load
balancing and increased network throughput.
industry accepted standards foundation--Standards include
IEEE Mass Storage System Reference Model, Optical Systems
Architecture (ECMA 167), Open Software Foundation
distributed computing environment (OSF DCE), HP Network
Computing System (NCS), MIT X11, and OSF/Motif.
migration path to HP-UX--Customers will be able to protect
their investments without relicensing fees.
Host support
NetArchive contains the necessary device drivers to allow
the use of mass storage systems not normally supported by
the operating system. NetArchive software is currently
available for all workstation clients running Domain/OS
SR10.2 and later. When using NetArchive software HP optical
libraries may be hosted on any DN3500, DN4500, or DN5500
workstation with a Western-Digital multifunction controller
board. NetArchive supports HP rewritable optical disk
libraries Models 10, 20, 60, and 100.
Ordering information
Pricing for NetArchive is based on total storage space
managed in the network and starts at $7,000.
HP-UX and Sun/OS versions of NetArchive will be available by
October.
