The HP BladeSystem Solution Builder Program provides a great opportunity to build add-on products for the HP BladeSystem infrastructure and to enter into this rapidly-growing market. HP is expanding the availability of BladeSystem specification for add-on product vendors to request and download. This allows you to first evaluate the technology and your business opportunity and then to build components for BladeSystem customers. |

| HP's approach is to improve the economics of the BladeSystem add-on product business -- making it attractive for our partners to work with HP and grow their business. HP will continue to drive value for our datacenter customers by expanding the BladeSystem portfolio with specifications available to partners. This process enables Solution Builder partners to build valuable products for a broadly accepted system and deliver these products to meet the needs of their particular customers. |
