| In today's economic and market conditions, a Web application infrastructure must deploy UNIX, Linux, and Windows platforms and development environments-both together and separately, in relatively equal abundance-in order to reduce total cost of ownership and decrease time to market while maintaining flexibility and mobility from development to deployment. HP can meet these needs by supporting and adding value across the breadth of its industry-leading middleware solutions. The HP middleware program focuses on developing strategic relationships with market leaders to optimize and enhance the middleware stacks around both J2EE and .NET platforms. HP is working with industry leaders, including Oracle, Iona, Microsoft, and many others, to offer our customers a choice of middleware solutions. HP Consulting has established practices around each of these middleware platforms. |
