Fit for the Future

From the earliest 200 MHz system to today's 500 MHz system, the AlphaServer 1000A continues to protect your investment in hardware and software. Its architecture supports seamless upgrades of CPU and memory to easily accommodate higher performance processors and additional memory as your business grows. The bottom line: your technology investment is protected.

Big for Business

If your company needs a reliable server to run your business-critical applications, the AlphaServer 1000A system won't let you down. It offers the lowest possible risk of downtime, featuring built-in sensors that monitor the servers, and LCD control panels that indicate system status at a glance. This low-end server offers a full suite of the robust features, such as ECC memory and cache, and a dual SCSI backplane that typically would be found only on the bigger, more expensive, higher end servers.

AlphaServer 1000A systems are ideal for growing organizations with limited MIS support resources. Business-critical applications can run unattended, while system management features and self-diagnostics provide early indications of any potential trouble, so preventive measures can be implemented. Most problems can be handled remotely - without disrupting other office activities.

Management Made Easy

All AlphaServer 1000A systems include ServerWORKS Manager, a comprehensive management tool that manages your server and workgroup environment at all levels - including networks, systems, and applications - to ensure the highest reliability and availability from your server. This complimentary package of integrated system and network software tools from Compaq allows you to pro-actively control and manage your network resources - from the branch, division and enterprise levels - to catch problems before they occur. What does that mean to you? Improved uptime. Increased user productivity. And perhaps the greatest impact to your bottom line: lower cost of ownership of your IT assets.

Safety in Numbers

Clusters provide a cost-effective solution to achieve the highest systems availability and application performance, as well as providing extensive scaling capability and simplified system management.

Your Business for the Future

The AlphaServer 1000A system is not only dependable, powerful, and easy to manage, but it can help you leapfrog your competitors by giving you quick and easy access to the dynamic and fast-growing Internet arena. The AlphaServer 1000A system is designed with the Internet in mind.
