What is HP?

Hewlett Packard was founded on 1st January 1939 by Stamford University graduates David Packard and Bill Hewlett. Thier initial premises was a garage in Palo Alto, California, as was the case with so many Silicon Valley computer companies of the time. Their first product was not, in fact, a computer at all, but the HP 200A Precision Audio Oscillator which became a very popular piece of test equipment for engineers mainly due to its unique design and low cost. In 1947, the year HP incorporated, revenues topped $1.5 million. Three years later, when the Korean conflict began and electronics production soared, the company had in place an expanded line of test equipment, including microwave and high-frequency products. In 2007, HP is a Fortune 14 company with $97 billion in revenue and 156,000 employees, doing business in more than 170 countries. A technology solutions provider to consumers, businesses, and institutions globally, the company’s offerings span IT infrastructure, global services, business and home computing, and imaging and printing. HP Labs continues to invest for the future by delivering breakthrough technology advancements in areas such as nanotechnology, color science, and social and economic systems.
