PC Magazine (10-24-95 issue) has a section on Network Operating Systems. They have a sidebar titled What about RISC? on pages 232-233. To quote: "The Alpha Servers are a very cost effective way to get top-notch RISC application server performance, and they work well in x86 environments. One problem with Digital, however, has been that Digital Unix lacks many advanced management features provided by IBM's AIX or Sun's Solaris." And, Regarding HP PA-RISC: "These machines show performance almost equal to that of speedy Digital Alphas. I am the sales rep. for Staples, Inc. (the office superstore). They have asked me to respond. Any help will be appreciated? What features are missing? How can HP offer nearly the same performance? Cross-posted in Digital_UNIX conference too. Tony

1) Get your customer in to see a demo of UNIX 4.0 as it fixes that
particular long standing deficinecy.
2) At what price? Where's windows-NT? what are the hidden costs for
future migrations?

| 4186.2 | My two cents.... | LACV01::CORSON | Higher, and a bit more to the right | Sat Oct 14 1995 16:11 | 11 |
Differentiate the applications as a business advantage to Staples
as opposed to our box is faster, cuter, smaller, than theirs. The box
should be immaterial, its the applications that users are running.
Therefore, flexibility, upgradability, etc. become much more
important.
good hunting.

| 4186.3 | There is a V4.0 PID Also | LACV01::ROSE | Mon Oct 16 1995 04:31 | 12 | |
In addition to .1's comment about Digital UNIX Version 4.0, be aware
that ther is a PID available for it which details the much-improved
System Management features in this soon-to-be-announced version of
Digital UNIX. Marty Horwitz (908) 577-6040 is another resource you may
wish to contact. He is the new Systems Management Marketing Manager for
Digital UNIX. My recent experience with him indicates he is very
"field-friendly" and willing to help.
