The offering from Oracle and HP combines Oracle Accelerate solutions with a range of HP storage and server technology, including the HP BladeSystem c3000, HP StorageWorks products, and HP ProLiant and HP Integrity servers. Specifically, customers and partners can currently take advantage of these proven application configurations based on HP server and storage technology for the Oracle E-Business Suite and Oracle's JD Edwards EnterpriseOne.
