HP MediaSmart Server 3.0 Software Update Progress

In the latter stages of testing our 3.0 software update, a couple of issues were discovered with the upgrade disks.  One was related to compatibility with PowerPack 3 and the other with the media streaming software.  Both issues have fixes and we are now going back through our build and testing process.  As a result, the 3.0 software update DVD availability will now be in February.  While this delay was unexpected, we remain committed to providing this upgrade path for owners of our EX470/475/485/487 products.  As previously communicated, these upgrades will be available as a server recovery solution.   

The cost of the upgrade DVD has been finalized and will be US$25 or €25.
