“Underscores Market Leadership and Commitment to Fast-Growing
Server Operating System.”

“Addressing the burgeoning demand for highly available, reliable
Linux solutions, Compaq Computer Corp. today announced several new
offerings for the open source community, including a marketing
relationship with SteelEye Technology to provide Linux clustering
on Compaq ProLiant server and StorageWorks storage platforms, a new
performance benchmark for the ultra-dense Compaq ProLiant DL320
server and a portal for the open source community. Compaq is
showcasing these and other Linux solutions, including Linux-based
Compaq iPAQTM devices and IA-64 technology, at the LinuxWorld
Conference and Expo, booth 1639 in New York.”

“Compaq also announced that the latest version of Cplant
Antarctica at Sandia is currently the largest `production’ Linux
cluster in the world, with the recent addition of 1,300 Compaq
AlphaServer computers to the cluster. This supercomputer produces
technical results to aid ongoing science projects. This spring,
some additional 800 systems will be added to Cplant, which
researchers expect to place it among the top 20 supercomputers in
the world and reinforce its claim to Linux leadership.”
