INTERNET ENERGIZED APPHASERVERS

-------------------------------

An Industry First!



They're more than just Internet ready -- they're Internet

energized!  All AlphaServer systems, on every operating system --

DIGITAL UNIX, OpenVMS, and Windows NT -- ship with software typically

needed and used on Internet or intranet systems.  As a result, system

managers can set up Web sites quickly and easily to get their people

up and running with Internet capabilities.  This unique, no-cost

offering on AlphaServer systems provides an unbeatable Internet and

intranet solution. DIGITAL continues to extend its lead in Internet

products and services. (See Page 6 for more about DIGITAL's

Internet offerings.) 



MIDRANGE ALPHASERVERS DELIVER EVEN GREATER VALUE

------------------------------------------------

	"While other vendors are busy trying to

	 introduce parts of a 64-bit platform, 

	 DIGITAL continues to offer the industry's 

	 only complete 64-bit solutions,"

	

	-- Pauline Nist,

	   Vice President of AlphaServer Business,

	   Digital Equipment Corporation



Value enhancements to mid-range AlphaServer systems have been announced.

These systems, the industry's first midrange server platforms with 64-bit

very large memory (VLM64) capability, are now available with twice the 

memory capacity of earlier versions.  And prices for AlphaServer 4000 

and 4100 systems have been reduced by as much as 25%. 







ALPHASERVER SYSTEMS TAKE HONORS

-------------------------------



The AlphaServer 4000/4100 family of midrange Internet serves is

demonstrating that it provides industry leadership performance as

measured by SPECweb96. (See http://www.specbench.org.osq/web96/results/)

And BYTE magazine recently named the AlphaServer 1000 "Editors' Choice"

Internet server in head-to-head competition with Apple, Intergraph, SGI,

Sun, and other Web servers.

ROSS AND ALPHA HELP MARY KAY MANAGE PRODUCTION

----------------------------------------------



Improving Global Manufacturing



Mary Kay, Inc., which markets its cosmetic and

skincare products to over 23 million customers in 25 countries,

recently expanded production beyond its US facility to China and

Switzerland. Part of its product strategy focuses on producing

smaller product lots tailored to customers' needs in each

country, respecting local regulations and cultural customs. But

the company knew its 15-year-old, home-grown MRP system could not

adequately support the global future it envisioned.



Mary Kay improved customer satisfaction and their bottom line as

a result of Ross Systems' Renaissance CS Manufacturing application

suite running on DIGITAL's AlphaServers at headquarters.  The

software helps them manufacture according to customer demand,

while also handling their need for international variations,

including foreign languages and multiple currencies.



And by eliminating guesswork, Renaissance CS is helping Mary Kay

achieve new levels of efficiency in its international

manufacturing operations. Thanks to the ease and frequency of the

application's client/server based MRP reporting capabilities, the

company can better match production runs with volume requirements

in different countries.



"Alpha's speed and power are incredible, but most important to me

is the flexibility it allows," says Ross Meriwether, Mary Kay's

Director of Global Technology Services. "Renaissance CS runs on

OpenVMS and we can easily add applications in Windows NT through

DIGITAL's Affinity structure."

SWISS STOCK EXCHANGE IMPLEMENTS 1ST ALL-ELECTRONIC STOCK MARKET

---------------------------------------------------------------



Clusters, Network Create State-Of-The-Art Trading Platform



The Swiss Stock Exchange ranks seventh worldwide among major exchanges.

Recently, to further enhance Switzerland's position as a global financial

force,  the organization gave up its three traditional open outcry 

floor-trading operations and order books in favor of one fully automated

electronic system, SWX, which integrates the entire trading process from

order entry to settlement.



The new high-performance, fault-tolerant system uses a complex network of

OpenVMS clusters on VAX and Alpha Systems within the Exchange, and 

UNIX-based AlphaServer and Sun trading systems at the members' locations.

Digital's Reliable Transaction Router (RTR) and the Oracle Rdb 

database also play central roles.  The Swiss Exchange developed the

application software which is available to all members.



"SWX currently executes up to 30,000 trades a day," said Juerg Spillmann,

head of IT at the Exchange.  "Our DIGITAL infrastructure gives us the

capacity to handle a far higher volume of transactions.  Plus, the 

Digital platform enables us to manage a multivendor, multiprotocol,

1,000-node environment with a very small system management team.



"DIGITAL's products have served us very well," he continued, 

"particularly the rich functionality and efficiencies of OpenVMS,

superior reliability, and DIGITAL's unique clustering capability and

cross-platform connectivity."

TAKING THE TERROR OUT OF TERABYTES

----------------------------------



DIGITAL's latest release of Hierarchical Storage Management (HSM) for

OpenVMS gives system managers less costly and more efficient ways

to cope with ever increasing amounts of data.



Like other HSM products, HSM V2.0 for OpenVMS improves 

application performance, reduces management costs, and enhances 

data protection by "shelving",  or moving less frequently used 

data from on-line to near-line storage.  In contrast to 

archiving, HSM keeps shelved data accessible and moves it back 

on-line when accessed.



Dramatically Reduced Backup Times 



New with HSM V2.0 for OpenVMS is a unique "backup via shelving" 

capability that reduces backup requirements by as much as 90%, 

a real boon for managers with expanding data and shrinking backup 

windows. 



Version 2.0 also features: the ability to move or copy files 

without unshelving; multi-file savesets for up to 15 times the 

shelving performance and full use of tape capacity; tape 

re-packing for recovery of "shelf space" used for deleted files 

and obsolete data; multiple catalog support; and increased data 

protection through recovery of lost or damaged tape volumes. 





24x365 Production Quality 



HSM for OpenVMS is suitable for even the most demanding, 

mission-critical production environment.  A high degree of 

integration with the OpenVMS File System ensures 24x365 data 

security, integrity, and disaster recovery.  HSM V2.0 for OpenVMS 

is available now.

WH SMITH NEWS INCREASES MARKET RESPONSIVENESS

---------------------------------------------



Magic Software And Oracle Rdb Help Streamline Operations



WH Smith News, the leading magazine and newspaper wholesaler in

the UK, has made a strategic investment in RAD (rapid application

development) software from Magic Software Enterprises as part of

a radical overhaul of its IT systems.  Changes in the business climate,

such as deregulation, expansion of the number and types of retailers, 

and renegotiation of distribution contracts with major publishers, 

influenced major changes in the WH Smith IT infrastructure in order to

align it with new business objectives. 



"This is a fast-moving industry where some products, such as

newspapers, have an effective lifespan as short as three hours.

Patterns of business are volatile, with an enormous range of

factors influencing sales," commented Tim Davis, Development

Strategy Manager at WH Smith News. 



Previously they had managed data with COBOL applications built

piecemeal over many years.  An exhaustive review of processes led

them to the decision to move to Oracle Rdb running on AlphaServer

and VAX systems, and to standardize on Magic Software's RAD

tool as the standard development environment. 



The new IT environment is already helping them to work more

efficiently with their data. With it they can provide rapid and

detailed net sales information to publishers so they can plan

print runs and control paper costs. And they can offer accurate

information to provide immediate availability of the right

quantity of the right titles to retailers. 



For more information about Magic Software, visit their web site at

www.magic-sw.com.  For additional information on Oracle Rdb, call 

Oracle at 415-506-7000, or log in to http://www.oracle.com.

UNIX <---> Windows NT



The AllConnect Program For DIGITAL UNIX Lets Software Developers

Move Easily In Both Directions



With over 90 percent of customers building IT infrastructures spanning UNIX

and Windows NT systems, the issues of software development and migration

are of paramount concern.  In fact, they sit at the top of the list of

other pressure points -- time to market, code quality, cost and budget --

that push on the bottom line as new technology is adopted into existing

environments.



The AllConnect Program for DIGITAL UNIX includes three rich solution sets

Interoperability, Software Development, and Software Migration that

help customers meet the challenges of working with new and existing

applications in an environment that supports these two different operating

systems.



Interoperability Benefits All



For customers developing on and deploying DIGITAL UNIX and Windows NT,

interoperability expands productivity and protects investments in software,

data and user skills.  The AllConnect Program for DIGITAL UNIX

Interoperability solution sets are product recommendations that allow

integration of such business-critical functions as e-mail and system

management as well as data and application sharing.  The Enterprise Mail &

Messaging Suite, for example, allows users to exchange information between

UNIX and Windows NT environments in a secure, easy-to-manage way.



Software Development On Windows NT Or UNIX



The AllConnect Program for DIGITAL UNIX speaks to all software developers

looking to develop and deploy applications on Windows NT or UNIX -- and

that includes IT managers, software engineering managers, and customers who

develop software for in-house or retail purposes.  Through the program ,

DIGITAL and its partners provide:



o  Common UNIX commands and utilities on Windows NT, so developers can use

   the Windows NT platform for development in an environment that "feels 

   like UNIX."



o  Common Windows NT environment on UNIX, giving developers a UNIX platform

   for development that "feels like Windows NT."



Software is developed ONCE on Windows NT or UNIX, and then deployed to the

appropriate server technology.  In either case, DIGITAL can help customers

develop applications more quickly, with the expanded market opportunity

that comes from including UNIX and Windows NT from a single code pool.

Other benefits include flexible deployment across transient installations,

guaranteed maximum performance and reliability for users, and reduced costs

over the IT life cycle through team development, testing and management.



Making 3GL Development Easier



Performance and reliability are top priorities for 3GL software development

projects.  When working with UNIX and Windows NT environments, a programmer

needs quality programming tools that support both environments and adhere

as well  to critical standards in both.  As part of the AllConnect Program

for DIGITAL UNIX, DIGITAL offers base tools that support both Windows NT

and UNIX, making it easier to do local development on Windows NT

workstations for deployment on remote UNIX systems.  To smooth this

process, DIGITAL provides C++ and C compilers that are more compatible with

Microsoft extensions and conventions than any tools that Sun, SGI, IBM or

HP have to offer.



A Boost To Commercial Software Development Too



DIGITAL and its commercial software development tools partners who are

participating in the AllConnect Program for DIGITAL UNIX are working

together to ensure that customers in the commercial software development

space can reduce application delivery cycle time and, at the same time,

protect existing technology investments.  Customers benefit from

bidirectional hardware and application scalability across the Windows NT

and UNIX environments, incorporating desktop, client/server and

Internet/Intranet solutions.



Smooth Software Migration That Plays Both Ways



The AllConnect Program for DIGITAL UNIX offers a range of migration

services from DIGITAL and its partners that are designed to support

customers migrating existing UNIX code to Windows NT as well as customers

looking to bring Windows NT code to UNIX desktops.  Either way, by cross

deploying, customers are saved the time and expense of having to re-write

or re-architect an application from scratch.   As a result, customers can

achieve the application flexibility business demands, all the while

maximizing existing assets and minimizing risk in time and money spent.

	operating systems plus all the existing features and

 	benefits of Windows NT."



	-- Douglas Miller,

	   CEO of Softway Systems.





	"With the emergence of Windows NT, more and more

	organizations need to develop applications that 

	will run on UNIX, OpenVMS, and Windows NT.  As a

 	partner in the AllConnect Program for DIGITAL UNIX

	and Microsoft WISE partner, Bristol is able to provide

 	a cross-platform development solution that allows

DMR CAPITALIZES ON VALUABLE ASSETS

----------------------------------



Alpha's High-Performance Imaging Delivers For Department

Of Mineral Resources



The New South Wales Department of Mineral Resources (DMR) has a 

gold mine --but it's not in the ground.



This valuable asset consists of about 18,000 geological survey reports that

contain information about petroleum, mineral, and coal exploration collected

from the 1870's to the present day.  Despite their age, these surveys still

have much information to yield about current resources.  Over time the large

reports and maps have become fragile, while the demand for access to them by

exploration companies and others has increased, raising concern about

potential damage or loss. 



Reports in the collection contain text, tables, maps, photos, press

clippings, and slides.  Document sizes range from letter- to table-sized and

can be monochrome, gray scale, or full color.



With the help of DIGITAL partner, Tower Technology, the DMR is digitizing 

the paper documents, providing multiple, simultaneous access as well as

preserving them for the future.  Tower is providing a high performance 

Alpha-based imaging system and transforming the paper-based information

through the company's Sydney office.



"Alpha is ideal for high performance imaging," said Denis Pombriant of

Tower.   "Because the maps and other data are so large, uncompressed 

image files wouldn't fit inside the address space of more conventional

32-bit machines.  And Alpha's increased I/O bandwidth is great for 

moving large files around."



In an earlier phase of the effort, the DMR replaced its outdated network

with a DIGITAL FDDI network utilizing three switched FDDI rings connected

to DEChub 900s on each floor. 



The DMR can now produce customized data packages including reports on a

geographic area, specific geological setting, or other criteria, and apply

image-enhancing techniques to graphic data in reports. 



For more information, contact Tower Technology at 617-330-9333.





HOT BACKUP BREAKTHROUGH FOR VERY LARGE DATABASES

------------------------------------------------



Demo Runs 20X Faster Than Previous Results



Now there is a realistic, fast, and easy solution for backing up 

multi-terabyte databases.  Oracle Corp., OpenVision Technologies, 

Inc., Digital Equipment Corp. and Storage Technology Corp. have 

announced the dramatic results of a jointly conducted hot database

backup demonstration. 



The companies conducted a hot backup of a live Oracle7 database at speeds of

504 gigabytes per hour, establishing the industry's fastest database backup

time. This achievement far surpasses all previously published backup

performance results, which delivered at most only 25 gigabytes per hour. 



"The demonstration shows that very large database users can now routinely

backup their entire mission-critical Oracle7 databases, while data remains

on-line and users are up and running," said Robert S. Pariseau, vice

president, Digital Products Division at Oracle. 



The demonstration measured sustained transfer rate speeds from disk to tape.

It was conducted using Digital's 64-bit very large memory (VLM64)-enhanced

AlphaServer 8400 5/300 enterprise server system running DIGITAL UNIX,

OpenVision Technologies' AXXiON-NetBackup, StorageTek RedWood SD-3 Helical

Tape Cartridge Subsystem, the Oracle7 database, and Oracle's Enterprise

Backup Utility (EBU).



Richard Barker, senior vice president of OpenVision's Technology Division,

noted that users with large databases have risked losing data because full

backups took more than the time available.  "With these hot backup

capabilities, organizations that require reliable, 24-hour database access,

such as banks, retailers, medical facilities, and telecommuncation providers,

can now protect their data," he said.

ENTERPRISE SERIES ARRAYS:  THINK BIG

------------------------------------



The Storage Performance And Scalability Enterprise-Wide

Computing Demands!



Transaction processing.  Decision support.  Data warehousing.  SAP/R3.  In

today's enterprise computing environment, heavy transaction-oriented and

bandwidth-intensive applications like these need not only big computing

power but also big storage capacity.



DIGITAL's StorageWorks Enterprise Series Arrays (ESA) are designed for the

largest, most data-intensive environments, those that require over 

100 gigabytes of storage capacity.   ESA utilizes the latest in StorageWorks

RAID controller technology to maximize system performance in both throughput

THE IT SAVINGS KEEP ADDING UP AT MITEL SEMICONDUCTOR

----------------------------------------------------



For most companies, the cost of high growth is often higher information

technology costs.  But Mitel Semiconductor has succeeded in reducing IT

costs as sales figures climb.  In fact, this $200-million-plus division

of Mitel Corp., which designs, manufactures, and markets integrated circuits

and thick film hybrids to telecom and datacom companies worldwide, averages

a 30 percent annual growth rate.  To handle that growth, the division 

migrated all its business and manufacturing systems from a VAX to an 

Alpha platform two years ago, and has been leveraging that investment

ever since.



"By replacing our VAX computers with Alpha technology, we literally

increased our computing power by a factor of 10," says Ken Anderson, vice

president of Information Services at Mitel.  "We have enough scalable

computing power to match our business needs for quite a few years.  As the

business grows, we avoid huge expenditures."



PROMIS Delivers



PROMIS, a manufacturing execution system (MES) from Promis Systems Corp.,

was an important part of the successful migration.  Beyond providing a

cost-effective growth path to the future, Anderson says the Alpha and

PROMIS solution makes critical manufacturing information more available to

decision makers, who can, in turn, make quick, informed business decisions.





Not only have the efficiency and effectiveness of line management

increased, but analysis and run time have also been cut by more than 50

percent.  What used to take eight hours on a VAX system now takes less than

three hours on an AlphaServer system.  System uptime and availability have

also improved.



More Power For Less Cost



"It was the promise of incredible speed, smaller systems, and a brand-new

64-bit architecture that made us look at Alpha technology," explains

Anderson. "When I found out that we could issue a $1 million check and

replace every shred of mini-computing power we had with roughly 10 times 

more power, Alpha was the way to go."  According to Anderson, the Alpha 

systems paid for themselves in reduced maintenance costs alone.



"We now have a scalable architecture," concludes Anderson. "We can add lots

of incremental horsepower for a low cost.  So whenever we need to increase

our computing power, it's a very small check we have to write."



For more information about running PROMIS within the OpenVMS, DIGITAL UNIX

or Windows NT Alpha environment, contact DIGITAL's Dennis Phelan at 

603-881-2634.

MISSION-CRITICAL ALPHA APPLICATIONS DELIVERED THROUGH ASAP

----------------------------------------------------------



New Applications Port to Alpha

Lotus Domino 4.5 from Lotus Corporation and powered by Notes, is

the server technology that transforms Lotus Notes into a Web

application server. 



Pivotal Relationship from Pivotal Software Inc. is the first

application on the market to fully integrate Microsoft Windows NT

and Windows 95 desktop and mobile computers with Microsoft

DIGITAL PERSONAL WORKSTATION -- HEAVYWEIGHT PERFORMANCE AT 

KNOCKOUT  PRICES  

------------------------------------------------------------



Leading The Windows NT Revolution With Higher Performance, Faster

Processors, Vast 3D Graphics, Flexible Upgrade Paths And More



When the Windows NT revolution began, DIGITAL was ahead of the

competition -- and ahead of the times with its Celebris XL and Alpha XL

families delivering workstation-class performance at breakthrough prices .

This strong leadership continues with the new DIGITAL Personal Workstation

that pushes the best features of the XL line to a new level of speed,

performance, ease-of use, and functionality.  In September '96, the second

generation i-Series was released, and now things get even better with

the new a-Series!



DIGITAL's Personal Workstation design, upgradability, memory, and processor

capability are enhanced with more integrated features including Ethernet

and 16-bit audio, more expandability with 5 PC slots,  and new graphics

options, including AccelPro, and PowerStorm advanced 3D graphics.



The affordable DIGITAL Personal Workstation also offers:



o   PC ease of use enhanced with Windows NT version 4.0,

o   Pentium Pro and new Alpha-based workstation performance,

o   More PowerStorm 3D graphics options,

o   Seamless multi-media capability,

o   All the tools you need to integrate the Personal Workstation

    into a UNIX environment, . . . And the industry's only CISC to 

    RISC upgrade.



Simple "Pop-Out/ Pop-In" Upgrades



The DIGITAL Personal Workstation was designed with Alpha upgradability --

ensuring enhanced performance as well as "pay-as-you-grow" investment

protection.  With the a-Series announcement, you now have a choice

of processor technology with the future built in.



What's more, a new and improved enclosure makes upgrading easier

than ever. Moving from the Intel to the Alpha platform takes less than a

minute to pop out the old processor board and pop in the new.  It also 

means easier access, maintenance, and serviceability.



PowerStorm Graphics Options Punch Up Performance

-- Hold Down Costs



DIGITAL's PowerStorm graphics options easily handle even the most

power-demanding design, engineering, and creative applications. PowerStorm

graphics accelerators offer the broadest range of solutions in the 

industry, from  fast, inexpensive 2D drawing to accelerated 3D solids 

modeling with texture mapping support.  Many of these PowerStorm 

capabilities are bundled with the system -- great news for MCAD and 

Digital Content Creation professionals looking for a cost-effective 

solution to boost graphics performance.



Every DIGITAL workstation, including the DIGITAL Personal Workstation, 

ships with a Solution Pack CD-ROM  containing a suite of enabling software

tools designed to boost productivity and connectivity in a technical 

Windows NT workstation  environment.  And these tools also provide you with 

connectivity to UNIX.



For more information on the DIGITAL Personal Workstation or any other 

member of DIGITAL's Intel or AlphaStation family, check out DIGITAL's 

workstation home page at: www.workstation.digital.com

ALPHASERVER SOLUTIONS MEET TODAY'S CHALLENGES

---------------------------------------------



APRIL 19, 1997 -- DIGITAL has just announced new DIGITAL AlphaServer

Solutions to take the guesswork and complexity out of configuring

solutions to many of today's most pressing business requirements. 



Bringing together best-in-class hardware, software, applications, and

services, DIGITAL has put the new AlphaServer Solutions to the test

for real-life situations. With customer requirements and market demand

as driving factors, AlphaServer Solutions are sets of products and

services that are highly integrated and tested for interoperability

and/or performance characterization. Each is designed to simplify

configuration and ordering. 



For starters, DIGITAL is introducing solutions for data marts,

intranet search, mail and messaging, visual computing, OpenVMS and 

Windows NT enterprise integration, and other business applications. 

They are complete, easy-to-order packages or order templates that are 

ready to run. (See this issue's special section for details.) 





MICROSOFT FOCUSES ON ALPHA SYSTEMS

----------------------------------

Microsoft recently announced that it will phase out development of

Windows NT on PowerPC systems. At the same time it re-stated its

commitment to DIGITAL Alpha and Intel x86 products. Microsoft also

revealed that initial support for new 64-bit Windows NT development

will concentrate on DIGITAL Alpha products. 





ASIA-PACIFIC'S MOST ADVANCED COMPUTER HELP DESK

-----------------------------------------------

Digital Equipment Asia Pacific Pte Ltd recently opened a multi-million

dollar help desk in Singapore. This multi-lingual center, with the most

advanced technology and support in all of AP, offers realtime support

and advice to DIGITAL customers, serving more than 10,000 regional

users. Help desks in Asia, Europe, and the US are interlinked so that

DIGITAL can provide 24-hour support to customers 365 days of the year.





ALPHASERVER SYSTEMS: ALTERNATIVES TO IBM MAINFRAMES!

----------------------------------------------------

In a January 1997 report titled "Enterprise Computing in the 21st

Century" Datapro concludes that 64-bit AlphaServer systems are an

"excellent choice" as alternatives to IBM mainframes. Specific quantitative 

comparisons support this conclusion. The full report is available at:

www.digital.com/info.alphaserver/solutions/mainframe/mainframe.html





	"I advise any new company that is approaching 

	 the Internet to procure the most powerful and 

	 scaleable servers it can afford. That's why we

	 bought DIGITAL AlphaServers."



	-- Jeff Bezos,  founder and CEO, 

	   Amazon.com

DIGITAL CLUSTERS FOR WINDOWS NT V1.1 

------------------------------------



Holding The Lead In Fast-Paced Windows NT Market



DIGITAL Clusters for Windows NT V1.1 provides high availability for both

Alpha and Prioris servers running Microsoft Windows NT Server 4.0 operating

system, as well as Windows NT 3.51.  The software enables two PC servers to

be coupled together via a shared SCSI bus, to create a single system

environment or cluster.  



End-users have access to all the cluster resources, such as shared disks, 

files, databases and applications -- without having to know the 

names of the individual servers in the cluster.  In the event that 

one PC servers fails, the second cluster server can assume its workload, 

reconnect clients and migrate shared storage and files.  And, as with 

previous versions of DIGITAL Clusters for Windows NT, it complement

DIGITAL's  RAID and SMP technology by adding system-level availability to

eliminate all single points of failure.   



What's new about V1.1:



o  Supports WNT Server 4.0 as well as WNT 3.51 



o  Supports IP address failover for TCP/IP socket-based applications,

   including Microsoft IIS, Netscape Enterprise Servers and Lotus Domino,

   enabling failover support for:   Web servers, Lotus Domino 4.5 server 

   and Notes 4.5 client, SQL-Server clients, and Oracle clients.



o  Provides Microsoft SQL-Server 6.5 failover enhancements that allow

   customers to:



  -- use multiple SQL-Server databases independent of one another

  -- establish connections to databases using either TCP/IP sockets 

     or named pipes

  -- run SQL-Server simultaneously on both cluster servers

  -- eliminate manual invocations of stored procedures through 

     automated setup sequences



o  Includes Oracle 7 Workgroup Server and Oracle 7 Enterprise Server failover

   using either TCP/IP sockets or named pipes 



o  Provides faster access to files and Cluster Administrator

   enhancements and additions for easier management 





NEW PACKAGES STREAMLINE DATA MART DEPLOYMENT ON WINDOWS NT

----------------------------------------------------------



Integrated Solution Includes Oracle Data Mart Suite 



DIGITAL has announced two new complete, integrated, and easy-to-install 

solutions for businesses planning to implement data mart solutions on 

Windows NT.  



The solutions include Oracle Data Mart Suite software and are available 

on both the DIGITAL AlphaServer and Intel-based DIGITAL Prioris server 

platforms.  They are designed to make it easier for businesses to gain 

competitive advantages by enabling them to organize and analyze information 

for better business decision making.



Each package includes the hardware, software, and support services needed 

to implement a single-subject, function-specific decision support solution 

on the Windows NT platform.  Packages include:



.   Oracle Data Mart Suite software

.   Oracle7 database software and supporting tools

.   Windows NT operating software

.   Alpha- or Intel-based server system

.   ServerWorks system management software

.   StorageWorks storage subsystem

.   A portfolio of system integration and support services 



The packaged solutions will be sold primarily through DIGITAL partners.

DIGITAL SHIPS 50,000TH PERSONAL WORKSTATION 

-------------------------------------------



The recent shipment of its 50,000th Personal Workstation underscores 

DIGITAL's leadership position in the Windows NT market.  While vendors 

such as Compaq and HP are just shipping their first-ever personal 

workstations, DIGITAL is rounding out its second generation of Intel- and

Alpha-based Windows NT personal workstations.  



The new DIGITAL Personal Workstations, the Models 433a and 500a are 

designed for customers in the EDA, MCAD, digital content creation, GIS, 

scientific, and software development markets,  and are a key part of 

DIGITAL's continuing strategy for dominating the market for Windows NT 

solutions across corporate and technical environments.  The systems provide 

a distinct competitive advantage with unparalleled workstation performance, 

dramatically lower costs and Windows NT ease of use.



"Fastest In The World"



With Alpha's superior floating-point performance capabilities, the DIGITAL

Personal Workstation 433a and 500a deliver the fastest Windows NT Workstation

3D graphics.  For example, running the CDRS-03 benchmark, DIGITAL's

PowerStorm 4DT graphics achieved a mark of 41.63 for the 433a and estimated

45 for the 500a.  This world-class performance compares with the drastically

slower scores for the SGI 02 R1000 (13.57) and the higher priced SGI HIGH

IMPACT (32.09).



        "There is a simple reason why DIGITAL is number

         one in Windows NT personal workstations: ours

         are the fastest Windows NT workstations in the

         world, they cost far less than what customers

         are used to paying, and they run the most popular

         workstations applications."



        --Philippe Ribeyre, Vice President

	  Workstation Business Segment

          Digital Equipment Corporation



===========================================================================

On April 28, 1997, DIGITAL brought Personal Workstations value to UNIX

users.  Introducing the DIGITAL Personal Workstation "au" series!  More

information coming on the Personal Workstation family in the next edition.

WHEATON VAN lINES UNLOADS IBM, MOVES TO DIGITAL

------------------------------------------------



America's 10th Largest Mover Runs On A Windows NT-Based 

AlphaServer 2100 System



Alpha Delivers Real-Time Scheduling System

 

For  years, Wheaton's traffic department relied on an IBM AS/400-based

scheduling system.  "That system was more of an archive than a real-time

scheduling system," recalls Mike Mescall, director of MIS at Wheaton.  "We

depended on printouts generated at the beginning of the day.  The reports

just couldn't support the speed at which our business moved." 

         

This lack of real-time response stalled business, often leaving trucks and

drivers unnecessarily idle.  That's why Wheaton moved its systems to a

client/server architecture and began development of a new scheduling system

based on Windows NT and the Microsoft SQL Server database.  



300-700% Performance Gains



Wheaton asked its local value-added reseller, XLConnect, to evaluate options.

Joe Hurley, systems engineer at XLConnect, set up benchmarks, running

Wheaton's scheduling application on both an AlphaServer 1000 and AlphaServer

2100 system.  

 

"The AlphaServer 1000 [system] yielded a 300 % performance improvement over

Wheaton's existing system; the AlphaServer 2100 yielded a 400% to 700%

improvement," said Hurley. 



Wheaton chose to move to the AlphaServer 2100 to receive the higher 

performance gains.



The new scheduling system provides true client/server capabilities to

Wheaton's network of more than 300 agents, feeding real-time information from

the company's Windows NT-based AlphaServer system to easy-to-use Windows

applications at the agents' offices.  

 

"We've had great success recruiting new agents because they like the

technology we're using," he continued.  "Our system provides real-time data

INTEGRIS HEALTH GETS A BOOSTER SHOT FROM DIGITAL'S TECHNOLOGY, 

SERVICES, AND EXPERTISE 

--------------------------------------------------------------



Oklahoma's Largest Healthcare Provider Depends On DIGITAL



Due to merger growth, Integris Health has a wide array of information systems

platforms and networking protocols, including mainframes and VAX and Alpha

systems running OpenVMS, UNIX, and Windows NT. For thousands of end users on

Windows-based PCs, this diversity brought many technical challenges that

Windows 95 could solve.  Integris enlisted DIGITAL technical consultants to

migrate the clients to Windows 95, and integrate the legacy applications, one

by one, desktop by desktop. 



"Our most difficult ongoing challenge is to manage down costs while

continuing to provide better quality care," says George Conklin, VP of

Information Systems at Integris Health.  "Giving our employees fast, easy

access to information systems from their desktop is one way we're doing that.

Another has to do with the advanced applications we've chosen -- primarily

those from Cerner and PeopleSoft."  



To stay competitive, Integris Health uses Cerner Corporation's Suite of

Clinical Applications to streamline healthcare delivery and administration

throughout departments and locations. The Cerner applications Reside on a 

cluster of four Digital AlphaServer 8400 systems, while other OpenVMS-based 

servers and clusters support the PeopleSoft Financials and PeopleSoft 

Human Resource Management System (HRMS) applications being phased in 

through early 1997.  



	"We look at information systems as the nervous 

	 system of our organization; we need an operational 

	 nervous system for our body to function -- and for 

	 our organization to survive. We'll continue to rely 

	 on DIGITAL consultants and technology to implement 

	 the capabilities we need,  and to deliver ongoing

	 user and systemsupport services now and for the future."



  	 --George Conklin,

   	   Vice President of Information Systems

   	   Integris Health

DIGITAL AND PEROT SYSTEMS PROVIDE KEY TO EASIER CAR 

RENTAL FOR THRIFTY

----------------------------------------------------



Industry-First, Global Internet Car Rental System



Now travel agents and consumers can automatically reserve a car

and receive an immediate confirmation over the Internet from

anywhere around the world -- an industry first provided by

Thrifty Car Rental. The solution integrates the company's DIGITAL

ACMS car rental reservation system with the World Wide Web.



Perot Systems had developed Thrifty's existing high-volume

reservation system using a three-tier, distributed client/server

architecture. Employing DIGITAL ACMS Desktop as the interface

from the Web to the existing Thrifty reservation system, Perot

was able to integrate the Internet with minimal change required

to the existing car reservation system.



"The architecture of the reservation system made it very

straightforward to offer the application services to an Internet

client," says Jim Lamb, Perot Systems Project Manager. "At the

same time, ACMS provided the features needed to manage the growth

of Thrifty's core business processes as a result of increased

Internet access."

AMAZON.COM STRIKES INTERNET GOLD

--------------------------------



The world's Largest Online Bookstore Counts On AlphaServers For Its 

IT Foundation



DIGITAL AlphaServer Protects Amazon's Stake



Amazon.com, the world's largest online bookstore has struck it rich

selling via the Internet, and is now in the enviable position of having to

focus on support for their exponential growth. AlphaServer systems are

providing exactly the IT foundation they need. Having found that the Sun

platform they bought in 1994 was unable to scale to meet the demands of

their unexpectedly high growth rate, they replaced it with two AlphaServer

2000 Model 5/300 systems running DIGITAL UNIX. 



According to Jeff Bezos, CEO and founder of Amazon.com, "After a

relatively short time in business, our sales far exceeded our projections,

forcing us to adopt a very aggressive growth stance. The extensive Web

server capabilities of the DIGITAL AlphaServer series, coupled with its

smooth upgrade path,  provided the perfect solution for our rapid

growth."



"We're using  the AlphaServers as Web servers to run our key online

electronic commerce system over the Internet as well as our entire range of

back office and financial applications," Bezos continued.  Amazon.com

relies on each AlphaServer 2000 system's one-gigabyte memory address

space to do high-speed indexing, as well.  Their lookup time is critical so

they keep their entire index of 1.1 million titles in RAM. And, of course,

reliability of the AlphaServer systems is another key attribute, keeping

Amazon.com open for business 24 hours a day every day. 





	"To support our rapid growth, we had to find 

	 a highly upgradable and scalable Internet server. 

	 Digital's AlphaServer platform provides the

	 upgrade path we need." 



	-- Jeff Bezos, CEO and Founder

PARTNERSHIP WITH DIGITAL AND SOFTWARE AG HELPS THE 

CZECH  REPUBLIC PRIVATIZE

--------------------------------------------------



Largest FDDI Cluster In Central And Eastern Europe 



Imagine deciding what kind of software and hardware to choose, 

buying it, installing it, programming it, and going live -- all 

in three months time.



That's exactly what PVT, a leading IT provider in the Czech 

Republic, did.



It was 1991, two years after the "Velvet Revolution" toppled more 

than 40 years of Communist rule.  One of the largest tasks facing

the new government was the return of state-owned property to

private owners.  Using a "coupon" strategy, properties valued at 

more than 4,5 billion crowns, or US$150 million, were divided among 

citizens and property investment funds. 



A mere three months before the new government began privatizing

state-owned enterprises, PVT won a public tender to design the

information system to handle the process. 



Using ADABAS C from SOFTWARE AG on a DIGITAL VAX platform, PVT 

designed a system to process the privatization of nearly 2,532 

state-owned enterprises.  



Using coupons to which all citizens were entitled, registrations

and orders to buy shares were entered into one of 38 local

databases located throughout the nation.  The data was 

transferred over a network to a central ADABAS database on a VAX 

6000 in Prague.  Eight million citizens participated.



USING OPENVMS TO SUPPORT THE CZECH SECURITIES EXCHANGE

------------------------------------------------------



The next logical task after completion of coupon privatization

involved safeguarding the documentation of share ownership and

the creation of a mechanism enabling the exchange of shares.



Again, PVT won the order in a public call for bids to design and 

implement an information system to manage the service for the

Czech Securities Exchange.  



An analysis by Ernst & Young confirmed that SOFTWARE AG 

ADABAS/NATURAL, running on a DIGITAL platform was the best system 

to support the new securities exchange.



Today, PVT relies on an OpenVMS cluster running on two 

AlphaServer systems to handle services for the Securities Center

Czech Republic. 



Not only was PVT able to quickly transfer its data from the 

VAX to the AlphaServer platform, it boosted performance by four 

times.



WHAT MAKES IT WORK?

-------------------



The Czech Securities Exchange runs over a DECnet network and is 

processed with  SOFTWARE AG's ADABAS C on an FDDI  OpenVMS Cluster system.  



The cluster for Securities Center consists of:

. Two AlphaServer 8400 systems (6 CPUs 5/350, 2 GB memory, 

  120 GB of disk capacity) 

. DEC 7000 Model 620 (1GB memory)



The cluster for RM-System consists of:

. A VAX 7000 model 620 

. Two VAX 6000 systems, models 640 and 520.  The VAX 7620 will be

  upgraded to an AlphaServer 8400 (4 CPUs 5/440, 2 GB memory) 



The disaster-tolerant solution for Securities Center is the largest FDDI

cluster in Central and Eastern Europe.  The system enables high availability,

with about 30 GB of mirrored data over a distance of more than 15 kilometers.





64-BIT ORACLE7 FOR OPENVMS IS HERE!

-----------------------------------



Oracle Demonstrates Continued Commitment To OpenVMS



With the release of Oracle7 for OpenVMS AlphaServer systems, OpenVMS

customers have a solid 64-bit foundation on which to build mission-

critical applications for the 21st century.



The new release of Oracle7 supports memory-resident databases extending 

into the multi-gigabyte range, enabling customers to load most, if not 

all, of their database in memory.



The result is dramatic performance improvement, especially for 

high-end applications, such as data warehousing.



"Both Oracle7 on DIGITAL UNIX and Rdb7 on Alpha OpenVMS have 

demonstrated the unbeatable performance advantage that 64-bit VLM 

support delivers," says Marcus MacNeill, senior product line 

manager at Oracle.  "Now OpenVMS customers can use Oracle7 to 

unleash the power of their AlphaServer systems."



The new release is the result of close collaboration between 

OpenVMS engineering teams at both Oracle and DIGITAL, including 

significant enhancements to the OpenVMS operating system that not 

only improve Oracle7 performance, but also installation, 

configuration, and management.



64-bit VLM support is further proof of Oracle's commitment to the 

OpenVMS platform.  Over the last two years, Oracle has increased 

its OpenVMS engineering resources by more than 50% and 

implemented a new cross-platform development model that leverages 

porting expertise across all DIGITAL platforms.

DIGITAL ALPHASERVER MICROSOFT EXCHANGE MAIL AND MESSAGING  

--------------------------------------------------------- 



Microsoft Exchange And Alphaserver Systems Set Industry Records 



The Business Challenge: 



Electronic Mail and Messaging has become a mission-critical utility for 

both large and small enterprises. IS Managers planning to implement a 

new mail/messaging system have three needs: a state of the art system 

that offers rich functionality; investment protection through integration 

with existing mail systems; and, after implementation, increased 

productivity by building mail/messaging into business processes.



The DIGITAL AlphaServer Solution: 



DIGITAL's Microsoft Exchange solutions offer the broadest line of scalable

Intel-based Prioris and AlphaServer systems, with value added software 

and services and best-in-class performance.  Tested under the Microsoft 

Exchange Load Simulator Utility, the DIGITAL Alphaserver 4000 5/466 

system handled 3,400 concurrent users while maintaining a one-second 

response time for each user -- the largest number of concurrent Exchange 

users handled by any server.



Key Components: 



. AlphaServer System 

. Microsoft Exchange Server 5.0



DIGITAL INTEGRATED TELECOMMUNICATIONS ALPHASERVER SOLUTION

----------------------------------------------------------



Reduce The Complexity Of Telecommunications



The Business Challenge: 



Today's fast-paced, competitive environment has resulted in the installation

of a host of communications systems -- voicemail, fax, electronic mail. 

Each system normally requires its own servers, software and support 

infrastructures. Consolidating these disparate systems can result in a 

significant increase in productivity and cost-efficiency.



The DIGITAL AlphaServer Solution: 



The Integrated Telecommunications AlphaServer Solution consolidates voicemail, 

electronic mail, fax service, and even PBX call control functions into 

one cost-effective, easily manageable system.  It provides the user a 

single point of access, either in the office or on the road.  The platform 

also accelerates the development of specialized telephony applications such 

as Call Center.  The solution is completely compatible with Microsoft Exchange,

so you can enhance the functionality of your mail/messaging environment. 



Key Components: 



. Rackmounted AlphaServer 800 or 1000A system 

. Microsoft Exchange Server 

. ISA expansion box 

. Mitel telephony hardware and software 



DIGITAL ALPHASERVER LOTUS DOMINO WEB SERVER 

-------------------------------------------



Rapid User Growth? No Problem With AlphaServer Systems  



The Business Challenge:



Popular Lotus Notes workgroup software has evolved into Lotus Domino, an

applications and messaging server for the Internet.  Managers have found that

the instant popularity of this environment actually presents one of its

biggest problems:  Users and applications tend to hop on board at alarming

rates, and web page hits begin to spike.  



The DIGITAL AlphaServer Solution: 



Lotus Domino  can be implemented on single AlphaServer systems or NT Clusters

by any size organization.  Alpha systems have lots of "headroom" for growth,

accommodating thousands of users per system yet still maintaining

split-second response times.  (See page 6 of this section for the latest Lotus

NotesBench results.)  The opportunity to consolidate servers offers a

tremendous cost savings.  And AlphaServer systems can be configured in

mission-critical Windows NT Clusters for a high-availability solution.



Key Components: 



.  AlphaServer system or cluster

.  Lotus Domino V4.5

.  BMC Patrol PATROLVIEW agent 





        "We selected the DIGITAL AlphaServer 4100 with

         Lotus Notes and Domino for the express reason

         that it gets very, very critical trading information

         to exactly where it's needed in an extremely quick,

         efficient, and accurate way."



        -- Thomas Ryan, President

           American Stock Exchange.

STELLAR ALPHASERVER 4000 PERFORMANCE PROOF POINTS

-------------------------------------------------



DIGITAL continues to set records for performance and price/performance

with the midrange AlphaServer 4000-series systems. Recent benchmark

results in three areas demonstrate the impressiveness of these

systems. 

 

Transaction Processing



A DIGITAL UNIX AlphaServer 4000 5/466 system running Sybase SQL Server

11.1 has set a new record for two-processor UNIX-based systems in

TPC-C price/performance, with 6,767.8 tpmC at US$119/tpmC. This

represents 16% better performance than an HP9000 D370, more than twice

the performance of a Sun Enterprise2, and even better performance and

price performance than the six-CPU Sun UltraEnterprise 3000. DIGITAL

and Sybase provide a powerful foundation for managing global

mission-critical, transaction-based applications for competitive

advantage. 



Internet



Setting new SPECweb96 benchmark scores, a uniprocessor AlphaServer

4000 5/400 system performed 1157 operations/sec and a dual processor

AlphaServer 4000 5/466 performed 1544 operations/sec. Both systems were

running DIGITAL UNIX. DIGITAL now delivers the highest SPECweb96

performance of all one- and two-processor systems, making Alpha the

Internet/intranet platform of choice for Web searches and general

Internet activity. 



Lotus Notes



A DIGITAL AlphaServer 4100 5/466 with two processors and 1 Gbyte of memory

running windows NT 4.0 has shattered all other Windows NT and UNIX

performance results for Lotus Notes 4.5, supporting 3350 mail users at

$31/user. The AlphaServer system supports 58% more users than a Compaq

ProLiant 5000 6/200, and has 91% more capacity than an HP NetServer LX

5/166, making it a powerful, but economical, giant in mail and 

messaging.

ATTENTION OpenVMS USERS

IMPORTANT OpenVMS ADVISORY

Please be aware that some OpenVMS components and applications may be

impacted on or about May 19, 1997 by a documented restriction in the

OpenVMS Runtime Library (RTL) time conversion routines.



Digital has been informing customers and partners of this restriction

through our websites, our ECO support services and direct letters -- and is

strongly recommending that users install the ECOs (Engineering Change

Orders) that remove a 10,000 day limit, prior to May 19, 1997.  We have

customers in all parts of the world and remain concerned that they all know

how to resolve this issue.  More details on how to remedy this situation

can be found at:  http://www.openvms.digital.com or by calling your regular

support channels.
