Alpha Family Systems Summary A complete family of open systems with exceptional performance The Alpha family: Where else can you find so many powerful and open systems in a single, compatible family? These systems give you the freedom to choose from several operating systems, thousands of applications, and a whole marketplace of industry-standard I/O devices. The Alpha family includes a complete range of systems, from AlphaStation(TM) workstations to AlphaServer(TM) enterprise servers -- all based on the same 64-bit RISC technology. Alpha systems at a glance o Industry-leading performance and price/performance. o Industry-standard PCI, ISA, and EISA slots let you connect the inexpensive, commodity devices that work best for your needs. o Three-year hardware warranty for most AlphaStation and AlphaServer systems the best in the industry for RISC-based systems. o Choice of operating system: DEC(TM) OSF/1(¨) for the most standards-compliant UNIX(¨) operating system in the industry; OpenVMS(TM) for exceptional business- critical computing; Windows NT(TM) for unprecedented Microsoft(¨) Windows(TM) power and performance. o Imagine solutions that offer enduring value and that work for today and tomorrow...technology that opens the way for innovation by enabling you to take advantage of totally new ways of computing...computing without boundaries that can actually change the way people and computers interact.
