Exceptional performance with extraordinary valueBy
any standard, Compaq AlphaServer systems lead the field in
price/performance benchmarks. Whether you take your measure from
industry- standard benchmarks like tpmC ® , SPEC®, Linpack®,
SPECweb® - or leading applications such as Microsoft Exchange™,
Oracle®, or PeopleSoft® - AlphaServer systems allow you to process
more work in less time without breaking your budget. One Compaq
customer reports building an AlphaServer systems solution that
provides them with superior performance at one-tenth the cost of
competing systems. This is the kind of performance Compaq can put to
work for you.
Moreover, AlphaServer systems from Compaq are well balanced, and
address the issue of capacity far more completely than other systems
by including VLM64 (Very Large Memory) capabilities, extremely high
storage capacities, fast I/O, and high system bus bandwidth.

Uncompromised availability and data integrityMaximum
uptime is the only acceptable measure in today's competitive
business environment. By clustering a series of AlphaServer systems,
you reach new levels of performance - with the most advanced
clustering technology in the world working for you. If one system
goes down, the others seamlessly take over processing - resulting in
a higher level of availability than any standalone solution can
deliver. When it comes to data availability and integrity, there can
be no compromise.
Further, you optimize your server's power by running the
operating system that best suits your business environment - whether
you need UNIX, OpenVMS, or Windows NT. Plus, high-availability
features like auto reboot, disk hot swap and memory failover are
built in - maximizing your uptime like no other solution.

Solutions that address today's business
challengesOnly Compaq can meet the challenges of today's
sophisticated businesses with end-to-end solutions. Let's say you
need to move 50,000 users from your old mail system to a Microsoft®
Exchange Server™ messaging, groupware, and collaboration system and
get them all connected to the Internet. Compaq has vast experience
doing just this, with more than 900,000 seats successfully sold in
less than one year.
Or perhaps you have limited time to get a massive data warehouse
in place that will allow information to flow from the shop floor to
the warehouse, sales and marketing, and the executive suite. Or
maybe you need to integrate Windows NT applications into your
current environment without disrupting your current user base. In
either case - in any case - Compaq has the talent and experience to
customize your solution to your unique business needs ... whatever
it takes.

A focus on the future with the 64-bit advantageData
access times hundreds of times faster than 32-bit disk-based
databases - that's just part of the promise the 64-bit advantage
delivers to today's businesses. Overall, 64-bit systems enjoy huge
margins in performance gains over any other comparable solution.
Everything runs better in a 64-bit environment. Everything.
While the competition is just getting started, Compaq already has
years of experience bringing the power of 64-bit computing to
real-life, realtime business situations. For example, Internet
Service Providers (ISPs) and corporate intranet administrators
depend on 64-bit technology from Compaq to handle the exponential
growth of Web users. Moreover, many businesses rely on Compaq
technology to effectively handle large, memory-resident databases,
to process customer queries by accessing legacy databases or data
warehouses, and to access and process complicated images, video, and
audio information.
How else is 64-bit power from Compaq helping in the real world?
One customer reports using VLM64 and a 64-bit database to query live
production databases, reduce time from customer order to product
shipment, and cut by half the number of mail servers they use
worldwide. You may have even experienced 64-bit power firsthand if
you have used the AltaVista™ search engine from Compaq on the
Internet. By searching 30 million Web pages in less than a second,
AltaVista produces results other engines just can't match.
