"Southeastern Freight Lines is a regional LTL trucking company serving nine states in the southeast. We have been using OpenVMS since 1986. We have several large AlphaServers GS clustered together which run all our business and operational systems. The reliability of OpenVMS and the AlphaServers GS allow us to measure uptime in months and years instead of days. It is truly a rare event when we have a service failure. The scalability of Compaq's AlphaServer GS and OpenVMS have completely met our shipment growth from 5,000 to over 22,000 shipments per day. We are always ahead of the computer response curve. OpenVMS and the AlphaServer GS allow MIS to spend more time solving business problems instead of computer problems.

The clustering of OpenVMS on the new AlphaServer GS Series will also significantly improve our performance. The capability to add CPU's dynamically to OpenVMS will significantly increase our throughput as our computing mix changes during the day."
