Open Source Meets Business 2008

Abstract

Open source software and the community development model was recognized and embraced by HP well over a decade ago. Today, we are a leading contributor to a variety of projects, literally selling a Linux server every minute of the day, and helping our customers integrate open source technology throughout their environments. Learn how open source is pervasive throughout the HP Adaptive Infrastructure strategy, how our portfolio of services spans an entire IT project lifecycle, how we deploy open source across HP, and how we’re enabling customers to implement open source solutions today with unprecedented levels of confidence.
