And with the addition of the DIGITAL Memory Channel interconnect, you have the ability to configure systems that are unrivaled in terms of high-speed database access and file storage capabilities. But the benefits of APEX on Alpha go far beyond speed and processing muscle.

Reliability stems from proven DIGITAL technology backed by a three-year hardware warranty. High availability is achieved with clustering in both the UNIX and Windows NT environments. Scalability arises from an open architecture approach that supports the growth of systems with investment protection well into the next century.
