HP to offer business intelligence with BIO

05.03.2007
Little more than six months after its acquisition of Mercury Interactive Inc. propelled it into the business technology optimization space, Hewlett-Packard Co.'s software unit is preparing to go after the data warehousing and BI space with an integrated hardware and software platform.

Business intelligence (BI) has certainly grabbed the spotlight in 2007 with Australian Chief Information Officers (CIOs) ranking it a number one priority as well as Oracle Corp.'s purchase of Hyperion announced last week.

Delivering the keynote address at this year's HP Software Universe in Brisbane Monday, Senior Vice President Tom Hogan said BI is a hot topic for business as they attempt to extract more information out of existing systems.

"The HP NeoView platform is addressing BI and data warehouse issues [and] this is the market we are entering in a big way with an integrated hardware and software platform," Hogan said.

The NeoView platform is available today but Hogan said HP will do a public launch in a few months time.

"It leverages the NonStop kernel that delivers massive improvements in availability for true five nines," he said. "It uses true industry standard components so as you upgrade hardware components you can redeploy them throughout the enterprise."
