1523.0. "Oracle for NT/Alpha commitment?" by HGOVC::PATRICKNG () Thu Feb 27 1997 04:07

    Hi,
    
    A customer has purchased an AlphaServer for Oracle Workgroup Server,
    but they found that Alpha version  was much lagging behind than Intel
    version. Oracle Workgroup Sever for Intel and Alpha/NT are 7.3 and 7.2
    respectively. As Oracle and Digital has formed an alliance, can Digital
    do something to have Oracle commitment on the Alpha platform?
    
    According to local Oracle Office, Oracle Workgroup Server for Windows
    NT 7.3 will be released next month. Is there anyone know the release
    data at US?
    
    Besides, the coming release of Enterprise Server on March only support
    NT 3.51. Intel version has already ran on NT 4.0
    
    This may hurt on sales for NT Alpha. Hopefully, the problem will be
    resolved soon. Is anyone know who is the alliance manager for Digital
    and Oracle?

re: Oracle's commitment for Alpha/NT:
April 6-11, Oracle OpenWorld will take place in Vienna/Austria. One of the sessions 
within the Oracle Server Technology string is titled: 'High Performance Oracle8 on 
Digital Alpha Windows NT, David Irwin, Oracle Corpration, USA'.                                                  
While this does not answer directly your question, it shows that they seem to have 
included Alpha/Windows NT into their Oracle8 planning.
