Networking products
HP Networking is a family of hardware and software communication products
that enable HP systems to communicate with each other and to interoperate
with equipment made by other manufacturers. HP Networking products
adhere to industry and de facto standards for data communication. The
International Standards Organization (ISO) seven-layer Open Systems
Interconnect (OSI) model is the basis for HP Networking product design.
HP also offers an array of communication products to effectively
integrate with IBM products within the System Network Architecture (SNA)
and bisynchronous environments.
