HP has introduced its “Just Right IT” portfolio, which makes it easy for micro and small businesses to get exactly the IT capabilities they need at just the right time and just the right price so they can focus on better serving their customers. The portfolio includes new server, printer and PC products designed and priced “just right” to deliver affordability and value to small businesses.

Designed for micro and small businesses with increasing IT needs and constrained budgets, following HP solutions make it easier to increase productivity by providing:

• Increased reliability with the HP ProLiant MicroServer. This quiet, energy-efficient server combines affordability, performance and data protection for businesses with up to 10 employees.

• Seamless print connectivity with the HP Officejet Pro 8500A e-All-in-One series and HP Officejet 7500A Wide Format e-All-in-One.

• Reduced energy costs and customized storage with the HP 500B and 505B Series Business Desktop PCs.

• Increased performance and storage flexibility with the 10GbE iSCSI capabilities of the HP StorageWorks P2000 G3 Modular Smart Array (MSA), which speeds the server/storage connection bandwidth by 10 times.

• Improved monitoring and management of technology infrastructure from a single console with the new HP Insight with Microsoft System Centre Essentials 2010.

SMBs need to secure business data while maintaining accessibility in the event of a disaster. New HP data availability and data protection solutions offer clients improved business continuity and a simplified user interface for managing backup and recovery with HP Data Protector Express 5.0 Software, reduced risk of critical data loss with the HP PC Backup Service and simplified shared storage with the HP P4000 Virtual SAN Appliance (VSA) software.

Wireless, voice and data networks can be complex and difficult to manage. New HP voice-over-IP and wireless offerings provide SMBs with improved application access and increased network security with the HP V-M200 802.11n Access Point Series, enhanced collaboration and communication with the HP VCX 9.5 IP Telephony system and 350x IP Phones, and simplified deployment of a complete virtualisation environment using Virtualisation Smart Bundles with Microsoft Hyper-V Server 2008 R2.

Additionally, the new HP blog 367 Addison Avenue features best practices, tips and tools from HP executives and industry experts that can help SMBs tackle challenges and achieve growth objectives.

The new HP SMB solutions are available through HP channel partners and directly from HP. The Just Right IT portfolio lets channel partners save their micro and small business customers time and money by meeting the full range of technology needs – from printers and PCs to servers and networking – with one trusted partner.

HP Financial Services, the company’s leasing and life cycle asset management services division, offers SMBs a range of total financing solutions designed to help them manage budgets as they upgrade their business technology.
