610.0. "WOLFPACK and NT CLUSTERS planning" by CSC32::HOEPNER (A closed mouth gathers no feet) Sat Feb 08 1997 11:12

    
    I apologize if this has been answered previously. 
    
    In view of the fact that Wolfpack will be releasing later this
    week, my customers are asking very probing questions about what 
    this means to them. 
    
    1.  Will we be transitioning NT Cluster customers to Wolfpack? 
    
    2.  If so, what is the time frame? 
    
    3.  If we will be doing this, how do we sell the appropriate
        hardware now? 
    
        I.E.,  Wolfpack requires Alpha 4100 with HSZ50 (Raid 450) (from 
               what I have been told.  
    
        NT Cluster supports Alpha 2100a's and 4100's with RAID 410s. 
    
        Do we have a program for those customers who buy 2100a's with 
        RAID 410s to transition to the WOLFPACK requirements? 
    
    THanks.

    Later this WEEK?  I don't think so!
    MS may be releasing Beta 2 soon, but final release is not scheduled
    until at least may 1997.

    Yes.

    Not yet decided.  We're working on the plan.

    Well...You could sell them a pair of 4100s with an HSZ50.

    Thanks for the update.  I mistyped when I said 'week'.  I meant 
    'year'.
    
    We really need to have a written transition plan so we can help our 
    customers plan their purchases. 
    
    What is the ETA for a written plan? 
    
    Thanks.
