Hewlett-Packard Atalla Security Products

Upgrade to newer hardware while maintaining legacy protocol network

The two main reasons many business sectors, particularly banking and financial markets, choose to keep their legacy protocol networks:

• Security
• Stability

When HP Atalla Security Products - a provider of hardware security processors for banking, Internet, and enterprise security applications - needed a partner to upgrade its SNA-based customers to newer Atalla hardware solutions, it turned to Gcom, Inc.

The first happy customer of this partnership: China Bank in the Philippines.

"Our transaction throughput improved 800%! "
