We have a few other IT-infrastructure software products that I'd like to discuss today, but in somewhat less depth than HP OpenView. HP OpenMail provides the backbone for messaging in a mission-critical, high-availability environment. Most people think of messaging as just sending or receiving electronic mail. If it goes down, that's just inconvenient. But as people are taking their business processes to the Net, the messaging backbone becomes critical. This is the role HP OpenMail plays. Finally, on the right there, you see a couple of HP software products whose role is to make the infrastructure secure. Virtual Vault provides secure Internet access to core business functions and data. It has been used successfully worldwide by the banking industry. VerSecure is a comprehensive encryption solution that has just received U.S. government approval for export. It is the first strong encryption technology to achieve that status. MICROSOFT, IBM, Motorola and SAP have already endorsed this approach. Let me say a few words about our service and support capability, because it is key to enabling customers to build and manage an Extended Enterprise infrastructure. The goal of our Professional Services Organization is to help customers implement new technologies quickly, to transfer knowledge to their IT staff, and then through selective outsourcing to provide them with some flexibility in terms of their staffing levels.[qh]
这里,我想谈一谈我们的其他一些IT基础结构的软件产品,但其深度不及惠普OpenView。首先,惠普为从事关键业务的高可用性环境提供了报文传送的主要途径。大多数人认为,报文传送只是发送或接收消息而已。如效率降低,也只是不方便罢了。但当人们将业务过程带入网络,报文传送的主干作用就是至关重要的了。这就是惠普OpenMail所起的作用。最后,诸位可以看到,惠普的这些软件产品是为了确保基础结构的安全。虚拟保险箱(Virtual Vault)为核心业务功能和数据提供了安全的互联网访问途径。全世界的银行业一直在使用这一软件。VerSecure是一种综合性安全加密方案,其刚刚获得美国政府的批准可供出口。这是目前率先获准的最好的安全加密技术。微软、IBM、摩托罗拉和SAP已经认同了这一方式。现在让我谈谈我们的服务和支持情况,因为这是使客户构建并管理一个扩展型企业基础结构的关键。我们的专业服务机构的目标是帮助客户迅速地应用新型技术,将知识传授给他们的IT员工,并通过选择性外包,为其提供人员方面的某些灵活性。[qh]
