VIENNA, AUSTRIA, Nov 29, 2011 (MARKETWIRE via COMTEX) — HP HPQ +4.49% today extended its Information Optimization portfolio with new solutions that help enterprises turn information and ideas into insights to drive better decision making.

An explosion of data from new sources is challenging traditional methods for storing and analyzing information. For example, only 15 percent of data is found in structured formats that computers understand.

Some interesting announcements today from HP building upon their experience with industry standard offerings to end user customers in the storage and backup space.  This includes the HP X5000 G2 Network Storage System which is based on industry standard blade servers, Windows Storage Server in a 3u format, with active/active clustering out of the box to support thousands of users on the highest configuration. Also to note is their HP B6200 StoreOnce Backup System which looks interesting, I’m off to read up more.
