Emtec Federal To Deliver HP PC Blades To U.S. Federal Government

CHANTILLY, Va. --(Business Wire)-- Emtec Federal (OTCBB:ETEC), an information technology systems and services company, today announced that it has teamed with HP to deliver HP PC Blades to the Federal government. Building on its 25-year relationship with HP delivering products and services to the federal government, Emtec Federal will resell and deliver the design, architecture, implementation, and installation services of HP-manufactured and warranted PC blades.

HP PC Blades allow government organizations to centralize desktop computer and storage resources into easily managed, highly secure data centers, while providing a customizable, dedicated computing experience to users. This creates a fully functional PC on an end-user's desk while simultaneously allowing organizations to maintain secure control, reduce time needed for distribution of applications, simplify management and decrease maintenance costs. These benefits make the solution ideal for customers in classified environments, foreign-based users, seat management infrastructures, and Continuity of Operations (COOP) programs.

"Through our long-standing history with HP and over 40 years of working with the government, we have a solid history of successful engagements and our staff is highly trained and certified on HP technology," stated Frank Blaul, executive vice president of sales and marketing for Emtec Federal. "Regardless of whether a customer needs a basic installation or is incorporating the solution as part of a broader IT project, we provide the expertise necessary for a seamless integration with the complex architectures and technologies used by the federal government."

Emtec Federal is a Platinum HP partner, and this solution is available through the company's SEWP IV contract. Emtec Federal offers a broad range of HP solutions, including desktop and mobile PCs, enterprise server and storage architecture solutions, and a managed print services offering as well as product rollout and project management services.

"HP blade PCs provide a highly secure, reliable computing infrastructure that are so critical for government customers," said Denis Bournival, Manager, Remote Client Solutions, HP. "By partnering with Emtec Federal, we are confident that our HP PC Blade technology is being installed and maximized in a way that not only supports the day-to-day operations of our customers, but provides a basis for long-lasting IT success."
