Powered by the Alpha 21264 CPU (EV6), the Compaq AlphaServer ES40 is the fastest 4-way RISC server available, offering unprecedented 64-bit performance at nearly half the price of the previous generation, and is available for a choice of operating systems: Tru64 UNIX, OpenVMS, Windows NT or Linux.

"We are very excited about Compaq's new, next generation Compaq AlphaServer ES40. Having worked closely with Compaq and their Alpha engineering group for some years now, we have been able to tune our applications to best take advantage of this industry-leading 64-bit technology. We believe that our continued relationship with Compaq will provide customers who are using our Internet technologies with the best possible scaleability and application performance."
