Interex Triples Membership

Your HP user group, Interex, announced today that membership numbers 
have tripled in the past two years. The organization boasts a whopping 
56,919 members (up from 16,751 two years ago). That's particularly 
impressive given the economic downturn and general decline in user group 
membership elsewhere in the industry. 

A recent survey showed that you and your fellow members are key 
influencers and buyers at companies with IT spending totaling more than $100 
billion annually.

Interex members are directly involved in HP-supported platforms and 
products across the board, including HP-UX, J2EE, Linux, MPE, .NET, 
NonStop, OpenVMS, Windows Server and others. 

Interex serves you with advocacy, including powerful annual surveys, 
events and SIGs; conferences, the HP World Technology and Solutions 
Conference & Expo and Solutions Symposiums; and publications: HP World 
Magazine, HP World News, Inside HP, HP World OpenView, HP World Solutions 
Directory, InterexPress and HP World Tech Journal.

Interex has always been a great user group, but with triple the 
members, it offers more networking opportunities, more power and more 
influence. -- Mike Elgan

Inside HP This Week

Art and Science:  New York's Metropolitan Museum of Art (the Met) has 
called upon Hewlett-Packard to preserve in pixels what the Met works to 
preserve in reality. The Met is using HP OpenView Continuous Access 
Storage Appliance to organize its digital warehouse and  create enough 
space so that, with the help of HP, it can catalog its entire collection. 
The Met manages 3.3 terabytes of data in a storage area network that 
includes an HP StorageWorks Virtual Array 7410. HP OpenView CASA has 
increased the museum's usable storage by a full terabyte. That's a big 
canvas.
