HP Networking – MSR
The smallest HP router ex H3C MSR is really cool and cheap device. Comparing to competitors new HP devices are really competitive. A series is the highest class for providers. Class E is Enterprise. Parameters makes those equipements a very good choice.
One idea is really cool. Some HP routers contains USB port, but it is not only for flash memory 
It is possible to connect USB HSDPA modem for example. We get “cellular” interface in configuration and after clearing PIN on SIM-card and setting up dialer we have additional data trunk. Let’s say this is the best backup option on the market. Superb option for small oficess, home or backup for any office.
Simple and great idea.
Business divorce
I have been watching how things go since the end of Cisco and HP allince has became a fact.
After a few doubts I think more and more it would be a very interesting future. Very interesting for IT market. Even more after aquisition of 3COM by HP.
Why? Well the truth is that HP with entire past portfolio wasn’t a comparable competitor to Cisco. At those times when big companies grow in many cases by merges and aquistions it looks normal procedure to be strong and valuable in specific market. Of course today, aquisition is not 100% sure, but as many I wonder what product from both sides will be developed and what not.
From my point of view I am most curios about IP telephony – will it go to develop 3COM solutions separately or will be merged to HP ONE? What will be better from switches, security and wireless. Colubris technology is really cool, security I don’t know a lot but opinions let’s me thing Tipping Point will be one of diamonds in the crown.
Big question is: product to be developed further will be chosen because of their advantages or there will be more inside “fight” to force products, not always the best.
