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.

IBM's p5 595 Tops the TPC-C Charts
by Timothy Prickett Morgan
As many have been predicting for the better part of a year, IBM's 64-way "Squadron" p5 595 server has overwhelmed the competition on the TPC-C online transaction processing benchmark test, breaking handily through the 3 million transactions per minute (TPM) barrier. The p5 595 is only one of four TPC-C configurations to ever break through 1 million TPM, a club that includes IBM's 32-way pSeries running AIX, Hewlett-Packard's 64-way Superdome running HP-UX, and HP's cluster of four-way Itanium servers running Linux and a cluster-aware relational database.
