The HP Advantage for GIS
FIGURE: figure will appear only in printed document
From environmental monitoring and demographic analysis to sales
territory planning and competition tracking, Hewlett-Packard and
Geographic Information Systems (GIS) can help you work more
productively.
Geographic Information Systems help geographers, cartographers,
planners and other professionals manage and analyze large databases of
spatial information. By allowing users to quickly access, edit, and
display complex social and economic data on computerized maps, GIS
makes it easier and less expensive to handle countless geographically
defined tasks-including monitoring property ownership and tax
assessment, planning emergency services, and tracking the progress of
oil spills.
Every day, GIS users are discovering the advantages of HP
workstations. That's because our workstations feature capabilities
that are essential for GIS applications.
Managing Data. No matter what your GIS application, you need quick
and easy access to large databases and that's what you get from HP
Everybody shares the same database and can maintain instant access to
it from anywhere on the network. And HP offers a full range of devices
for storing almost unlimited amounts of data.
Graphic results. HP workstations are known for their graphics. In
GIS that means you can easily transform massive amounts of data into
meaningful charts, graphs, and even sophisticated terrain models. Our
wide selection of graphics systems and monitors lets you choose exactly
the right graphics for your application-from inexpensive, fast 2D
systems to 3D systems that can handle the most complex tasks.
Working together. No doubt your system is used by many different
professionals and for many types of GIS applications. HP's highly
acclaimed networking and communications capabilities let users
transparently share files and information, and provide access to remote
plotters, printers and servers. And HP workstations can work with
virtually all the computing systems you currently use.
In addition, the HP workstation environment gives you complete
flexibility in configuring networks of any size. No matter how you set
up your present network, you can change or expand it with more users,
locations, and applications in the future.
Outstanding Price/Performance. With HP you get the system that's
exactly right for you. HP makes a wide range of workstations-from the
low-cost, power-packed Series 400 to the Series 10000 graphics
superworkstation. Plus a wide array of personal computers, plotters,
and printers.
Powerful Solutions. To ensure that you receive the best possible
performance from your systems, HP has teamed up with the leading
solution suppliers to address a wide range of GIS applications. These
include mapping, utilities management, natural resource management,
demographic analysis, political redistricting, earthquake analysis,
transportation system design, as well as countless other public and
commercial applications.
A Company You Can Depend On
With the GIS market growing so rapidly, you need a company that will
keep you ahead with the latest systems, solutions, and technology,
especially graphics, networking, and database management. You also need
a company that will protect your investment for the long term.
Not only is HP a technology leader, our workstations come with a
guaranteed growth path. That means as we develop new technologies and
new workstations, you'll be able to take advantage of them while
protecting your current investment.
And as one of the world's largest computer makers with an
international reputation for reliability and dependability, you can be
sure HP will be there when you need us.
