PRODUCT DESCRIPTION

Rackmount AlphaServer systems for the Internet offer the superior
performance, high availability, and space saving features of rackmount
AlphaServer systems, combined with software for a Digital UNIX Internet
server or an NT Web AlphaServer system. These systems are an ideal choice
for Internet Service Providers (ISPs), Internet publishing systems,
commercial information and application servers, or information sharing and
collaboration platforms.

The Rackmount AlphaServer 1000 4/266 is a 266 MHz Alpha uniprocessor system
that runs Digital UNIX or Microsoft Windows NT. It offers performance, high
availability, and expandability in a small footprint at an affordable price.
The Rackmount AlphaServer 2100 4/275 is a 275 MHz Alpha symmetric
multiprocessing (SMP) system that runs Digital UNIX or Microsoft Windows NT.
It offers flexibility in a small footprint, with increased performance
delivered through faster clock speeds, symmetric multiprocessing, and high
performance I/O.

The Rackmount AlphaServer 1000 4/266 and Rackmount AlphaServer 2100 4/275
system building blocks mount easily in a standard ANSI/EIA 19 inch rack,
providing maximum flexibility to meet current needs and future expansion
with Digital or third party options. The final custom solution of systems,
software, cabinet, and options is assembled from standard building blocks
and then integrated and tested at Digital's ISO 9001 facility to provide
quick and easy installation.

The Rackmount AlphaServer systems for the Internet offer standard and
optional features to ensure a highly available system. The system building
blocks offer auto reboot, thermal management, ECC memory, error logging, and
SMP CPU failover with the AlphaServer 2100 systems. Storage is primarily
located in StorageWorks shelves, with hot swappable disks, redundant power
supplies, redundant controllers, dual ported storage, and RAID 0, 1, 0+1, or
5 levels. Cabinets are designed with front to back air flow and support
optional Uninterruptible Power Supply (UPS) systems. Multiple systems can be
located in one cabinet, with the UNIX systems offering increased
availability with an AdvantageCluster system in a single cabinet. Digital's
AdvantageCluster systems feature multiple systems, each running independent
workloads, and DECsafe Available Server software, which continuously
monitors operation of all cluster nodes. In the event of a failure in one of
the nodes, the remaining systems pick up the application workload and
restore service in less than 30 seconds after a failure.

The Rackmount AlphaServer systems are mounted on slides for easy access to
all necessary components, thereby minimizing downtime during service. As new
Alpha processors are developed, users will be able to field upgrade the
system with a single board swap.

Digital UNIX or Windows NT software

Rackmount AlphaServer systems for the Internet running Digital UNIX come
with an Unlimited User License, NAS 200, and the Internet AlphaServer
Software Kit V1.2. The Internet AlphaServer Software Kit is a suite of
pre-packaged, pre-tested Internet software that includes fully-supported
Netscape Communications Server software; Digital's ELECTRONIC LOCKER
software to make system administration easy; and a collection of popular,
public domain software tools that provide World Wide Web, news, mail, and
WAIS services. In addition, Digital UNIX provides unlimited Telnet,
interactive terminal, and terminal emulation sessions.

Rackmount AlphaServer systems for the Internet running Windows NT come with
Windows NT server software with a five client license, Purveyor V1.1 WWW
Server Software for Windows NT,  and the Digital Road Map for Windows NT
CD-ROM. Purveyor V1.1 WWW Server Software allows organizations to easily and
reliably publish public and confidential multimedia information on the
Internet, as well as on local PC LANs. Purveyor V1.1 WWW Server Software
provides flexible and robust user security; comprehensive built-in access
logging and reporting; and a built-in proxy server for HTTP, FTP, and Gopher
protocols. The Digital Road Map for Windows NT CD-ROM includes the following
software: Gopher server; fax server; SoftQuad HoTMetaL, HTML Assistant for
Windows, and HTMLed authoring software; news reader; WWW browser; ZIP file
manager; and JPEG, GIF, and BMP editors/viewers.
