Today, as corporations  move more and more of their business processes to the web, hardware requirements are changing. Legacy technology is being phased out; and new, more efficient technologies are replacing them.  What’s needed is an innovative device that simplifies client computing and allows businesses to manage their business, not spend their efforts and resources managing their PCs.

The cost of supporting older technologies can be prohibitive.  Legacy systems have to  be patched up to handle the rapid changes in business computing brought about by the Internet and advances in technology.  That’s why newer, more innovative computers are being designed to reduce system conflicts and costs through simplification.  By eliminating ISA/PCI slots and focusing on USB technology, such systems deliver ease of deployment, management, support, and usability.

Compaq offers two versions— the iPAQ (which includes legacy ports) and the iPaq Legacy-Free, which features Windows 2000 exclusively and five USB ports.  The affordable iPaq is easier to manage through Compaq solutions such as  Altiris eXpress and PC Transplant, which facilitate deployment and maintenance throughout  the lifecycle.  Innovative Compaq MultiBay technology enables hot-swapping and hot-plugging of removable media drives, which can also be shared with Compaq Armada portables.  With its small, sleek, innovative design, absence of legacy technologies, and overall simplicity, the Compaq iPAQ Desktop is the first business computer specifically designed for companies moving toward a simplified computing model designed for the future.

Computing has come a long way over the few decades of its existence, from huge mainframes to desktops to laptops, always getting smaller and more efficient.  Except for those used by graphics professionals, scientists, and engineers, most business computers don’t need more gigs and more speed to perform mainstream computing (for example, word processing, spreadsheets, presentations, Internet/Intranet access, and e-mail).  Businesses are facing different issues today—such as how to maintain a productive network, and how to perform in the online environment.  The solution is  reinvention:  deliver  a simple and affordable computer through innovation.
