------------------------------------------------------------------------
Single-vendor coordination      HP forms a team of experienced
of all activities               personnel to implement the
                                recommendations. The team develops and
                                reviews the detailed implementation
                                schedule with you. The assigned HP
                                project manager regularly reviews
                                progress with you to ensure a smooth and
                                timely implementation. Implementation
                                requires careful selection and
                                coordination with external partners and
                                subcontractors. HP's project manager
                                coordinates resources and installation
                                scheduling.

Requirements analysis           HP assesses how the equipment will be
                                used, availability requirements,
                                security costs, and anticipated growth.
                                This upfront analysis ensures a
                                flexible, cost-effective computing
                                environment that will meet current and
                                future needs. From this analysis a full
                                physical design report is produced.

Site survey                     HP conducts a thorough survey of your
                                premises to identify potential problems
                                and propose solutions. External and
                                internal physical surroundings of the
                                computing environment are analyzed. 
                                Electrical supply, air quality, air
                                temperature and humidity, and security
                                are assessed and appropriate
                                recommendations are provided.

Planning, design, and layout    HP produces--or provides through a
of the computer facility        selected professional partner--a full
                                set of engineering drawings and
                                specifications for the facility,
                                including architectural, electrical,
                                fire, and mechanical specifications.

Power supply requirements       HP provides you with a design for a
assessment                      clean and secure power supply. An
                                electrical audit evaluates the
                                electrical distribution system and
                                reviews the independence and security of
                                electrical supply. Recommendations
                                include electrical supply conditioning
                                and filtering to regulate voltage,
                                attenuate noise transients, and provide
                                protection from lightning-induced power
                                disturbances and other sources of
                                electrical interference.

Design and installation of      The following factors contribute to a
walls, floors, ceilings, and    stable environment: building floors,
process cooling and noise       walls, and ceilings to  correct
control systems                 specifications; controlling dust
                                and dirt; stabilizing temperature and
                                humidity; and installing noise control
                                systems. HP designs your environment to
                                meet these specifications.


Design and installation of      HP recommends and installs fire and
fire and security systems       security systems that ensure the safety
                                and security of your computer facility
                                as well as protect your personnel and
                                your business.

Final verification and          After installation, HP executes standard
documentation                   tests to verify proper functionality. HP
                                also diagnoses and isolates any detected
                                problem and works with you until all
                                selected recommendations are operational.
