 ABB,
the global power and automation technology group.
For over fifteen years, ABB and Compaq have been
partners in providing Energy Management Solutions
to the Utilities Industry.
This requires the performance typically found
in high-performance technical computing, and
AlphaServer ES45 systems, coupled with Compaq
Tru64 UNIX, helps Acxiom achieve the performance
their clients expect.

"ABB Network Management experienced
up to a 75% improvement in Oracle Application
performance with the new AlphaServer ES45
over what we had previously experienced
on the AlphaServer ES40. ABB Network Management
also experienced over a 400% improvement
in compilation times on the AlphaServer
ES45 as compared to the AlphaServer ES40.
The AlphaServer ES45 is a truly impressive
machine and Compaq has again raised the
performance bar to an unparalleled level
in the Industry. We look forward to incorporating
these latest servers in our RANGER Generation,
Transmission and Distribution Energy Management
IT solutions we provide to the Electric
Utility Industry. The AlphaServer ES45
provides the level of performance that
will be required for the RTO and ISO solutions
of tomorrow in an unregulated Electric
Utility Marketplace."

"The benefit that we derive from
Oracle 9i RAC is the fact that we can now
leverage technologies before that we would
use with Compaq Tru64 [UNIX] and Oracle
OPS. We can now take advantage of a unified
product from Oracle that actually takes
much more into account from a simplicity
standpoint, simplifying the process for
doing clusters, making it very easy to
deploy."
