3907.0. "The Data Warehouse Services - AXP 8400" by TAVIS::MIRO () Wed May 31 1995 11:17

    The following is an extract that I recieved from the announcement of
    the AXP 8400.
    
    Who do I contact in order to get more information on these SERVICES ?
    We would like to offer these service here in Israel.               
    
    - The Data Warehouse Advisory service
    - The Data  Warehouse Architecture Service
    - The Data Warehouse Pilot Implementation
            
    
    " ...Digital also introduced three new services to help
            customers implement data warehouse  applications.  The Data
            Warehouse Advisory service familiarizes senior IT and business
            executives with successful approaches to planning and
            implementing a data warehouse.  The Data  Warehouse
            Architecture Service provides IT and business personnel with the
            architecture framework and system design guidelines required to 
            successfully implement a data warehouse  environment.
            The Data Warehouse Pilot Implementation provides the scoping,
            design solution, training, implementation, and execution of a data
            warehouse pilot... "

 Digital - AlphaServers smash 'Datamation' benchmarks
	{Livewire, Worldwide News, 25-May-95}
   "If your applications are starving for performance and your uniprocessor
 RISC server isn't cutting the mustard," "Datamation" magazine reported in its
 May 15 issue, "Digital just might have a the answer to your performance woes."
   Citing "...performance that scales from the workgroup to the data center,"
 the trade publication reported that the new AlphaServer 8400 5/300 and 2100
 5/250 systems recently established new records in Datamation's CPU Benchmark
 version 2.0 (CPU2) running under Digital UNIX.
   The AlphaServer 8400 systems scored a PPI (Processor Performance Index) of
 838, the highest PPI ever recorded.  The AlphaServer 2100 system scored a
 lower, but still impressive 705, which is also higher than any system
 previously tested.
   CPU2 is made up of 34 kernels that perform CPU-intensive floating point and
 integer operations.  A kernel's execution time is divided by the execution
 time it took a 60MHz Pentium system to run the kernel, and a geometric mean is
 calculated from all the normalized kernel results.  The final result is the
 PPI, where a 60MHz Pentium has a PPI of 100.
   In a second test, to determine the SMP efficiency of the servers,
 "Datamation" ran multiple copies of CPU2, up to 64 copies on each server.  The
 SMP efficiency of the AlphaServer 8400 gave "very good" results.  The
 AlphaServer 2100 system also performed well, but, as expected, was somewhat
 less efficient than the 8400 throughout the range.
   "The 8400 is meant for the data center, and if you're looking to replace
 mainframe iron, this machine is a suitable candidate," "Datamation" concluded.
 "The AlphaServer 2100 5/250 is meant for workgroup applications."
