"A single Exploding Bridge wire detonator was used to start the explosive train. Extreme care was taken to isolate each charge from the local power used to operate the racks."

"Despite the loss of the production data center, we showed how the business continued at the recovery site with HP disaster-tolerant offerings running on HP Integrity servers, HP Integrity NonStop servers, ProCurve Networking by HP and HP ProLiant servers."

"Applications continued to run and were accessible, transactions in process were protected and captured, and end users were totally unaware that systems were down in this Disaster Proof demo."

"One of the goals of this demonstration is to show that HP can provide all the hardware, software and services needed to design disaster tolerant solutions. HP offers the ability to provide a complete disaster tolerant solution, providing end-to-end support to meet your high availability and disaster tolerant needs."

"The support ranges from working with you to define the business continuity and availability requirements, into the consulting and design stages through implementation, testing, and on-going operational support. It includes HP software for managing and operating the environment, and operational IT Service of your operating system environment and technology choices."

"Frankly, we know that many are tired of the industry’s fancy talk, questionable promises and baffling array of technology. What HP is demonstrating are practical solutions, available now, to address very real business threats."
