Transactions and analyses performed in enterprise environments require tremendous numbers of calculations. Fortunately, many of these applications are multi-threaded or otherwise lend themselves well to multiprocessing. The Highly Parallel System Architecture provides excellent scalability for increased system performance under Windows NT, as well as Novell NetWare and UNIX, supporting the use of multiple Intel Pentium II, Pentium III, Pentium II Xeon, or Pentium III Xeon processors to meet the widest possible range of customer needs. The processors share the processor bus, so instructions can be processed simultaneously. Configuration of the Highly Parallel System Architecture varies slightly between the Compaq servers that include this architecture. For precise information about specific servers with this architecture, please visit the Compaq website (www.compaq.com). CONCLUSION As the bandwidth requirements of business-critical applications continue to increase, Compaq has taken the lead in developing advanced solutions to meet the needs of enterprise customers. The Highly Parallel System Architecture implemented in Compaq servers improves overall system performance by delivering increased bandwidth to critical subsystems, including memory and I/O. Multiple data paths, large high-speed data buses, and balanced system resources make it the best, most cost-effective choice for uncompromising performance with today's demanding business applications. Compaq servers with this architecture outperform comparably configured servers that do not use this architecture; however, there are several other factors, such as requirements for reliability, serviceability and expansion, to be considered when determining which product is best for a given application.

taken the lead in developing advanced solutions to meet the needs of enterprise customers. The
Highly Parallel System Architecture implemented in Compaq servers improves overall system
performance by delivering increased bandwidth to critical subsystems, including memory and I/O.
Multiple data paths, large high-speed data buses, and balanced system resources make it the best,
most cost-effective choice for uncompromising performance with today’s demanding business
applications.
Compaq servers with this architecture outperform comparably configured servers that do not use
this architecture; however, there are several other factors, such as requirements for reliability,
serviceability and expansion, to be considered when determining which product is best for a given
