Getting from here to there, reliably
From point A to point B, sometimes through point C and oftentimes on to D or E, more than 200,000 passengers a day count on ANA to get them to their destinations on time.
So, through more than 800 flights per day, ANA's Flight Management System sees to it, that, as Japan's leading airline in on-time performance, ANA continues to remain on time.
And behind this benchmark of punctuality, working away millisecond by millisecond, is HP technology. Find out more.

But the upgrade to the Itanium 2 is out the door and shipping this week, and it is this chip that will take Intel and its partners through to its dual core "Montecito" processor debut in the second half of 2005.

HP Refreshes Entry Integrity Line with New Itaniums
by Timothy Prickett Morgan
Intel's long-term plan for the Xeon and Itanium server platforms is to have a single set of platform technologies--including chipsets, motherboards, and I/O peripherals--that support both family of chips. Hewlett-Packard, which is the dominant player in the Itanium market, can't wait that long, and that is why it has grabbed many of the features that are standard on its Xeon-based ProLiant servers and is now putting them into its new Itanium-based Integrity servers.

by Timothy Prickett Morgan
All eyes in the high performance computing market were focused on Pittsburgh this week as the semi-annual ranking of the Top 500 supercomputers was announced at the Supercomputing 2004 trade show.
