Bigpoint Delivers Online Gaming to More Than 200 Million Users Worldwide With HP

HAMBURG, GERMANY, Jan 10 (MARKET WIRE) --
HP (NYSE: HPQ) today announced that Bigpoint GmbH, one of the leading
online gaming networks in the world, has selected HP Networking to
support the growth of its rapidly expanding international business.

Based in Hamburg with offices in Berlin, San Francisco, Sao Paulo
(Brazil) and Sliema (Malta), Bigpoint offers more than 70 online titles
that span casual to complex multiplayer games. Rather than being
downloaded or installed from a CD, all of Bigpoint's games can be
accessed for free wherever internet access is available.

The company's global distribution network includes more than 1,000 media
partners, localized into 25 languages. Bigpoint surpassed 200 million
registered users worldwide in June 2011, doubling from 100 million users
in less than 18 months.

To deliver the consistent gaming experience necessary for customer
satisfaction and business success, Bigpoint has implemented a unified
wired and wireless HP network infrastructure. The network foundation is
built on dual-redundant HP 8212zl core switches, and includes HP 5406zl
advanced intelligent switches at the edge to provide robust network
services cost-effectively.

The HP network offers high-availability features that ensure system
continuity and enhanced efficiency. In addition, the Bigpoint
infrastructure is now flexible and powerful enough to handle spikes in
volume and demands from Bigpoint's growing customer base.

To improve office network connectivity, two HP MSM765 wireless mobility
controllers and 54 HP MSM460 wireless access points provide seamless
communications throughout Bigpoint's Hamburg headquarters, enabling
mobile working and increasing business productivity.
