Hewlett-Packard is a strong data protection software Channel Contender because of how closely that software is tied to sales of HP's server and storage hardware. HP solution providers say the company's Data Protector software is a solid offering despite being somewhat less sophisticated than software from vendors such as Symantec and CommVault. HP's acquisition last year of LeftHand gave it software that can be used to create virtual storage appliances.
