Highly Parallel System Architecture in
Compaq Servers
As business-critical applications place growing demands on system resources, increasing
system bandwidth becomes a vital issue. After evaluating available system architectures,
Compaq determined that a new system architecture would provide the higher levels of
performance, processor and I/O expandability, and bandwidth to satisfy the needs of
increasingly complex transaction, database, internet/intranet, and file/print applications.
The Highly Parallel System Architecture, introduced by Compaq in 1997, delivers the
greatest system bandwidth available today for such demanding applications.
This technology brief describes the Highly Parallel System Architecture.
