Product Description

The AlphaServer 8400—using the world’s fastest microprocessors, the Alpha

 

21164 300 MHz or 440 MHz CPUs—is the world’s fastest and highest capacity

 

enterprise server. It is the solution for the most demanding business problems.

 

ServerWORKS Manager provides advanced server and network management

 

capabilities and is supplied with all AlphaServer systems. SNMP (Simple

 

Network Management Protocol) enables information to pass from the managed

 

system to the console for Digital UNIX, Windows NT, and OpenVMS for

 

AlphaServers. Using ServerWORKS, the system manager can build and view

 

topological maps of the network. Detailed server information is viewable,

 

including system, network, storage, and environmental information. All

 

AlphaServer systems are also supplied with management tools to complement

 

ServerWORKS Manager. These include StorageWorks Command Console for

 

storage management. For more information, see the "StorageWorks Software"

 

section of this catalog.

 

The AlphaServer 8400 5/300 supports up to 12 processors with 8 GB memory,

 

two processors with 28 GB of memory, and any combination between these

 

maximums, with 1.2 GB/sec (peak) of I/O.

 

The AlphaServer 8400 5/440 supports up to 14 processors with 4 GB memory,

 

two processors with 28 GB of memory, and any combination between these

 

maximums, with 1.2 GB/sec (peak) of I/O.

 

The AlphaServer 8400 supports the DIGITAL UNIX and OpenVMS operating

 

systems. For investment protection, DEC and VAX 7000 products can be

 

upgraded to the AlphaServer 8400 in a few hours. The AlphaServer 8400

 

platform is designed to take full advantage of future generations of Alpha

 

microprocessors.

 

The AlphaServer 8400 enterprise servers join the AlphaServer line, with high

 

performance PCI I/O, providing up to 144 PCI slots on 12 different physical PCI

 

buses. The AlphaServer 8400 includes a one year hardware warranty, on-site, 4

 

hour response, five days per week. System installation is included with the
