Awk: HP a welcome govt/entp alt. to Dell
Broadcom is encouraging because IT purchasers in gov't and public enterprise with a history of buying Dell have been switching to HP. Two people, a computer consultant/professional speaker (audience of approx 40,000 influential decision makers annually) and a National Guard IT person, have stopped recommending and buying Dell because Dell has been having widespread hard drive failures and other issues in the past year or two. As positive as all Dell news with Wave, especially this weeks Latitude and Precision notebook PR (go to Dells website and see the Wave and its logo on the 3D Latitude demo under Security) until Dell increases quality we need to be in HPs box.
HP currently ships with TPM 1.2 on Broadcom NICs and HP ProtectTools Security Manager Software was likley written by Infineon. In the future HP with Brdcom TPM will ship with Wave ESC/CSP and ProtectTools, or only Wave. With this announcement I am thinking the latter unless PT is used for nonTPM functions
Would like Lenovo to be next.
All the best,
1st
