Supportive documentation for the VA7410 over the CLARiiON CX400

[MicheleP]

All, thanks for your good input on my prior request. It all supports our claims as to WHY HP is the proper route to take for a Phillips PACS backup soultion (see VA7410 vs. CLARiiON posting on 25 March), however, the client is being "sold" very hard by EMC. I have been scrambling to find ANY collateral/white papers, etc. to put into the CIO's hands that will prove our collective claims, but have been unable to do so. Does anyone know WHERE this type of literature might be found (Gartner, MetaGroup, etc.)? I've done a search on MetaGroup (a client of ours) with no results. It is interesting that I can find myriad docs from EMC supporting the Phillips PACS solution, but nothing from HP in the same environment, although it's an approved solution... HELP!!!! Thanks:)

If I go to www.hp.com I get numerous hits on the PACS solution.

If I go to www.emc.com I get numerous hits on the PACS solution.

If I go to google I get numerous hits on the PACS solution.

But none of these provide any hits for the Phillips PACS solution, or any variant...

Arbitarily, I've added some hits the PACS solution from www.hp.com:

Here's a link to some publically-available whitepapers:

Speak with your HP Sales Rep about getting competitive whitepapers and slide sets: he can download them from internal HP sites.

Good luck,
