Compaq Servers: Enterprise Class
Systems Leading the Way to Deschutes
and Merced
Executive Summary
Today's computing environments call for balanced systems that are built for high performance,
high availability, and high scalability.
They call for the flexibility and cost advantages of
industry-standard platforms.
And they call for advanced tools and services and integrated
management solutions to help customers control their growing environment and lead the way to
future technology.
Today's computing environments call for a leader - and that leader is Compaq.
Compaq has a proven track record as a leader in server platforms. The company provides the
highest levels of scalability in the industry on Intel platforms.
Compaq also offers five levels of
availability solutions in order to meet its customers' requirements.
In addition, Compaq provides
integrated management solutions and strong partnerships to ensure that its systems are the most
manageable and cost-effective in customers' environments.
With leadership that delivers integrated, powerful, highly available and scalable platforms,
Compaq is able to provide the newest technology to improve the performance and control of its
systems.
This new technology includes 8-way processing.
Combining Compaq's own systems
engineering expertise with Corollary's innovative Profusion architecture and Intel's next-
generation Deschutes processors, Compaq is taking 8-way standards-based servers into the
forefront of enterprise technology.
Compaq also plans a seamless transition to Intel's Merced 64-bit processor. Compaq will be the
leading supplier of Merced-based products and expects to ships systems with Intel's first Merced
production processor.
By effectively meeting customers' needs in the past with its industry-standard server platforms
