HP customer, International Securities Exchange, announces Initial Public
Offering

On Wednesday morning, March 9, 2005, the "Opening Bell" on the New 
York
Stock Exchange was rung by ISE, the International Securities Exchange.
Launched in 2000, ISE was  the first registered exchange approved by 
the
Securities and Exchange Commission since 1973. Today ISE has 
become the
world's largest Equity Options Exchange. Their growth from launch to 
the
#1 position in the US market in 4 years has been both very remarkable
and very well planned.  ISE is powered by OpenVMS AlphaServer 
systems,
using Oracle Rdb and the OMX Click XT application platform.  For more
information on ISE, view the customer success story:

Whitepaper details HP OpenVMS platform benchmarks at International
Securities Exchange

The new whitepaper "International Securities Exchange scales off the
charts" details recent test results of running a large trading
application on International Securities Exchange's HP OpenVMS 
platform.
International Securities Exchange (ISE) is the world's largest equity
options exchange. In March 2004, HP and OMX Technology of Sweden
performed a benchmark test at the request of ISE to determine the
performance parameters of running the OMX Technology CLICK XT 
trading
application on the firm's HP OpenVMS platform.  View the white paper:
