AlphaServer 8400

V97-2.1—24 Jul 1997

DIGITAL Systems and Options Catalog

Product Description

The AlphaServer 8400—using the world’s fastest microprocessors, the Alpha
21164 300 MHz or 440 MHz CPUs—is the world’s fastest and highest capacity
enterprise server. It is the solution for the most demanding business problems.

ServerWORKS Manager provides advanced server and network management
capabilities and is supplied with all AlphaServer systems. SNMP (Simple
Network Management Protocol) enables information to pass from the managed
system to the console for Digital UNIX, Windows NT, and OpenVMS for
AlphaServers. Using ServerWORKS, the system manager can build and view
topological maps of the network. Detailed server information is viewable,
including system, network, storage, and environmental information. All
AlphaServer systems are also supplied with management tools to complement
ServerWORKS Manager. These include StorageWorks Command Console for
storage management. For more information, see the "StorageWorks Software"
section of this catalog.

The AlphaServer 8400 5/300 supports up to 12 processors with 8 GB memory,
two processors with 28 GB of memory, and any combination between these
maximums, with 1.2 GB/sec (peak) of I/O.

The AlphaServer 8400 5/440 supports up to 14 processors with 4 GB memory,
two processors with 28 GB of memory, and any combination between these
maximums, with 1.2 GB/sec (peak) of I/O.

The AlphaServer 8400 supports the DIGITAL UNIX and OpenVMS operating
systems. For investment protection, DEC and VAX 7000 products can be
upgraded to the AlphaServer 8400 in a few hours. The AlphaServer 8400
platform is designed to take full advantage of future generations of Alpha
microprocessors.

The AlphaServer 8400 enterprise servers join the AlphaServer line, with high
performance PCI I/O, providing up to 144 PCI slots on 12 different physical PCI
buses. The AlphaServer 8400 includes a one year hardware warranty, on-site, 4
hour response, five days per week. System installation is included with the
AlphaServer 8400 5/440 system.
