enhanced high availability AlphaServer systems
and new NonStop™ eBusiness solutions
With
demand booming, the Alpha family continues to grow!

New
Alpha systems
Two
new Alpha systems offer you clear cost and performance advantages:
|
|
 |
The
Compaq AlphaServer
DS10L is an ultra-thin server that delivers high
performance. It's the ideal low-cost entry-level system for
Internet, telecom, high performance technical computing, software
development, and educational needs. And its low profile 1U footprint
means you can rack mount up to 40 AlphaServer DS10L systems
in a cabinet. |
 |
|
The
AlphaStation
ES40 delivers mainframe-quality performance for the
most demanding applications, including CAD/CAM, GIS, high-performance
technical visualization, defense applications, and Linux-based
computing.

|
Enhanced
Alpha systems
And
we've given other Alpha systems a power boost, for better response,
quicker decision-making, and top web performance: |
|
|
The
enhanced dual processor AlphaServer
DS20E is
the fastest computer in the least amount of space (5U) of any
system available today. The DS20E is powered by our new 667
MHz Alpha 21264A processor and has an 8 MB DDR L2 cache for
more rapid data retrieval. The AlphaStation DS20E offers the
best price/performance of any dual processor workstation, with
5.2 GB/sec memory bandwidth and free 3D graphics software. |
|
The
enhanced AlphaServer ES40
delivers mainframe performance at a midrange server price.
The ES40 is now 35-45% faster with up to four 667 MHz Alpha
21264A processors and has doubled its maximum memory to 32
GB. Both the ES40 and DS20E outperform all competitors in
SPECweb99.

Compaq's
AlphaServer ES40 is a far better balanced and much more scalable
system than any other system we have investigated. The
32 GB ES40 has been able to handle tasks that only a year
ago would have required a much larger, much more expensive
system, enabling us to accelerate the growth of computing
infrastructure faster than we had dreamed possible. Support
for large memory configuration, small footprint, clustering,
gigabit Ethernet, upgradeable CPUs, and fibre channel make
the ES40 the ideal backbone of our computing infrastructure.

AlphaServer
cluster bundles
Our
new prebundled
clusters give you a low-risk, high-availability
solution to keep up with dynamic Internet and business-critical
system needs -- without expanding your staff. They are
easy to install and manage, with preconfigured, tested
Alpha systems (beginning with the enhanced AlphaServer
ES40), and new versions of Tru64 UNIX and TruCluster
software. We've also expanded our relationship with
Oracle to develop easy clusters that deliver industry-leading
availability on AlphaServer systems running Oracle
8i and Oracle Parallel Server.
