Compaq Leadership in Server Innovations
Executive Summary
With Compaq's long history of innovations in the industry standards marketplace, it's easy to see
why Compaq is the number one server for customers' needs.
Compaq provided
more than twice
as many servers in the worldwide market than the nearest competitor in the first three quarters of
1997.
Within seven years after server sales began, Compaq produced its one-millionth server.
This far surpasses volumes of x86 servers shipped by IBM, Hewlett-Packard, and Digital
combined.
1
These accomplishments illustrate that what customers require in industry standard
servers, Compaq gives to them.
Compaq's server innovations began in 1989 with the Compaq Systempro, the server that was the
prototype for Compaq’s family of enterprise-based servers built on industry standards.
Compaq's
innovations continue with the current ProLiant server family, the first in the industry to integrate
the latest technology, including PCI Hot Plug on selected models.
Some major examples of
innovations, which Compaq introduced to the standard-based server marketplace and have been
widely adopted by customers include:
Compaq Insight Manager
Compaq SmartStart
PCI Hot Plug
Intelligent Hot-Pluggable Power Supply
Virtual Interface Architecture
Fibre Channel

Unlike commodity-based providers, Compaq offers flexible computing platforms today by driving
the adoption of useful innovations for higher performance and higher availability into industry-
wide standards.
Compaq delivers systems that provide total value to the customer, unprecedented
design and engineering technology, key management solutions, and strategic partnering to
provide seamless integration.
This approach is exactly what the customer demands from a world-
class company.
And this approach is exactly what the customer receives from Compaq.
