applications that previously required larger, more costly systems. If you need a

high-performance system, you'll find that you can downsize your application
on the DEC 7000 AXP system and get powerful performance at low cost. If your
IS resources are limited, choose the DEC 10000 AXP system for a comprehensive,
integrated, packaged solution that provides exceptional service and support.
These systems can grow as your needs grow because they are the industry’s
most expandable servers. The modular platform lets you improve performance in
anumber of different dimensions— symmetric multiprocessing (SMP), larger
memory, more I/O bandwidth, greater disk capacity, PrestoserveTM, and clustered

systems—all while building upon your current investments.
Digital’s Alpha AXP solutions offer a choice of open operating system environments:
OpenVMS AXP or the UNIX®-based DEC OSF/1* AXP. You can count on getting
seamless integration with servers, workstations, and PCs from other computer ven-

dors, as well as Digital. Outstanding hardware and software investment protection
is ensured through Network Application Support (NAS) and client/server computing.
With exceptional performance, the highest levels of reliability and dependability,
the utmost flexibility and expandability, and the world’s fastest RISC processor,
these Alpha AXP servers are 21st century systems. They deliver the complete

environment for compute-intensive, data center, and commercial applications

significantly improves NFS throughput
in heavy workloads, so file servers can

for the largest data center applications.
Additionally, DSSI-based storage will
be supported in a future release of
OpenVMS AXP, providing flexibility
and investment protection for customers with DSSI-based systems.

An optional N+1 power system
(standard on the DEC 10000 AXP
system) allows for higher system
availability in the event of a power

regulator failure. Systems can be
configured with up to three power
regulators per cabinet (standard on the
DEC 10000 AXP system), ensuring
that even the most heavily configured
systems can keep operating if a power

regulator fails. Optional system-level

CI clustered systems support multiple
paths to provide higher availability

and performance for business-critical
computing. Over 10,000 gigabytes

(10 terabytes) of storage can be
supported by these servers in a CI

clustered configuration. This is a phenomenal amount of storage, offering
both growth and high availability.

FDDI clustered configurations connect
geographically dispersed sites into an
FDDI network, which can provide
either redundant data center operations

or consolidate the management of
the data center sites at one location.
In all clustered systems — whether the
interconnect is FDDI, CI, DSSI, or
Ethernet— all data is available to all

systems on the cluster.
