201A/1196 TECHNOLOGY BRIEF (cont.) ... INTRODUCTION Many current departmental servers and remote office servers do not provide the range of features required to meet today's changing business dynamics: • Network operating systems are becoming more robust, with more and more network services now integrated into the core operating system. • Business-critical systems such as email and decision support systems are being pushed out into the departments and remote offices. • Departmental servers are hosting local data linked to the enterprise. As a result, the range of capabilities required in a departmental or remote office platform have become more complex and require a more robust platform. • MIS wants to gain control over departmental systems; however, their systems have not been robust enough to support effective management capabilities. • Departments have become interdependent. Because so many more users will be affected if a sever goes down, availability requirements are increasing. • Departmental and remote office locations frequently do not have qualified service and technical engineers on site to maintain and upgrade systems. With availability requirements growing, it becomes increasingly important that departmental and remote office servers be designed for easy service and upgrading. Compaq recognizes these changes and realizes that customers need a server platform that answers the varying computing needs of specific departments and remote offices-a platform that delivers a range of performance, management, availability, and serviceability features at an affordable price. In answer to that need, Compaq has developed a new departmental and remote office server, the Compaq ProLiant 2500 Server, which supports the following network operating systems: • Microsoft Windows NT 3.5x and 4.x • Netware 3.12 and 4.x • IBM OS/2 2.x and 3.x • SCO UNIX 5.0 • Banyan Vines 6.x • UnixWare 2.1x This brief explains the technology integrated with the ProLiant 2500 that makes it an ideal departmental or remote office server. 3

Many current departmental servers and remote office servers do not provide the range of features
required to meet today’s changing business dynamics:
•
Network operating systems are becoming more robust, with more and more network services
now integrated into the core operating system.
•
Business-critical systems such as email and decision support systems are being pushed out
into the departments and remote offices.
•
Departmental servers are hosting local data linked to the enterprise.
As a result, the range of
capabilities required in a departmental or remote office platform have become more complex
and require a more robust platform.
•
MIS wants to gain control over departmental systems; however, their systems have not been
robust enough to support effective management capabilities.
•
Departments have become interdependent.
Because so many more users will be affected if a
sever goes down, availability requirements are increasing.
•
Departmental and remote office locations frequently do not have qualified service and
technical engineers on site to maintain and upgrade systems.
With availability requirements
growing, it becomes increasingly important that departmental and remote office servers be
designed for easy service and upgrading.
Compaq recognizes these changes and realizes that customers need a server platform that answers
the varying computing needs of specific departments and remote offices—a platform that delivers
a range of performance, management, availability, and serviceability features at an affordable
price.
In answer to that need, Compaq has developed a new departmental and remote office server, the
Compaq ProLiant 2500 Server, which supports the following network operating systems:
•
Microsoft Windows NT 3.5x and 4.x
•
Netware 3.12 and 4.x
•
IBM OS/2 2.x and 3.x
•
SCO UNIX 5.0
•
Banyan Vines 6.x
•
UnixWare 2.1x
This brief explains the technology integrated with the ProLiant 2500 that makes it an ideal
departmental or remote office server.
