"We have been
delighted with the results of our preliminary testing
of these new AlphaServer systems. Not only do they continue
a tradition of performance leadership, the enhancements
to system modularity, flexibility, compatibility, and
manageability continue to make AlphaServer systems an
excellent choice for our clients, who rely upon our solutions
on these systems in truly mission critical environments
throughout the spectrum of heathcare...from community
hospitals to very large Integrated Delivery Networks."

"These new AlphaServer
systems deliver what we require for the largest non-defense
supercomputer we have here at PSC. Not only do they deliver
more usable bandwidth than anything else, the modularity
of the system architecture in conjunction with its manageability
makes this an outstanding platform for this decade. We
continue to be delighted by the decision we made to use
Compaq AlphaServer systems."

"Current AlphaServer
systems have already substantively exceeded our performance
goals for TERA 1. Our preliminary tests on the new AlphaServer
systems showed a substantial boost in performance for
our applications, placing these new systems in a good
position on the path forward to our next challenge: TERA
10. We have no doubts at all about Compaq's commitment
to step up to this next challenge."

"We are very
impressed with the new AlphaServer system because it provides
a secure, resilient and powerful path forward that protects
and builds on our application investments. The advances
in redundancy, memory bandwidth and I/O capabilities delivered
by the new distributed mesh architecture, will allow us
to meet our growing user requirements by consolidating
very large and powerful SMP configurations in an easy
to manage, single system."

"The
new AlphaServer family will be a very strong offering
for mission critical business processing and high-performance
technical computing and a flexible platform for
server consolidation. Its powerful microprocessors
and low-latency I/O subsystem make it a strong foundation
for AlphaServer customers to run their most demanding
applications as they make their plans for the next
five-year time horizon."

"Compaq
is clearly driving the state of the art for server
designs going forward. With its next generation
AlphaServer systems, Compaq continues its tradition
of delivering the finest technology for the most
demanding business and technical computing problems.
The partitioning options, switch-less mesh architecture
and dynamic multi-path I/O are advanced features
that will translate into higher service levels and
greater reliability with increased operating efficiencies
in the data center."

"Although
headlines have focused on Compaq's transition roadmap
to the
Itanium processor family, Compaq continues to offer
significant enhancements to its Alpha processors
and AlphaServer systems. Now being previewed by
Compaq, the New AlphaServer Series based on the
EV7 processor incorporates technology that will
ensure the AlphaServer systems remain highly competitive.
The New AlphaServer Series is not just a "speed
bump" but rather integrates system design features
that will keep AlphaServer systems at the forefront
of high end UNIX systems. Compaq has not forgotten
its Alpha customers and continues to evolve systems
to meet their growing needs.

Building on a decade of system
and performance leadership
The Next Generation HP AlphaServer
Systems continue our tradition of building balanced
systems, balancing processor power, memory and
I/O to sustain scalable application performance.
These systems continue our tradition of designing
systems for the most demanding mission-critical
environments; and they continue our tradition
of introducing new technologies into production
environments in an evolutionary and non-disruptive
ways.
The Next Generation HP AlphaServer
Systems based on the Alpha EV7 processor will
begin shipping at the end of the year. These new
systems:
- provide significant improvements in performance,
scalability and reliability with the built-in
SMP and the industry's first "switch-less"
mesh architecture
- offer reusable components that provide modularity
and enable customers to grow their systems seamlessly
as their requirements increase
- ensure continued binary compatibility with
AlphaServer systems - applications just run
Commitment to Customers
HP is continuing to provide a strong foundation
to meet your current and future business requirements.
With the industry's strongest investment protection
offering, the AlphaServer Customer Assurance Program
ensures your current and future investments in
AlphaServer systems are secure until you choose
to migrate to the Itanium processor family.
