"For more than two years, Digital Fountain has relied on the solid, innovative engineering of HP ProLiant products and solutions to help us deliver high-volume, mission-critical data and media rich content. The new SmartStart 6.0 is a positive complement to the existing ProLiant family in our data center because of its ability to simplify the process of building complex server platforms, saving us significant time and IT resources. It was shockingly pleasant not to have to reboot half a dozen times when using SmartStart to deploy your server. Additionally, SmartStart 6.0 has fewer steps, eliminates the potential for mistakes and our quality and efficiency with building server platforms go up."

----Barry Dobyns, Principal Solutions Architect.
