Benchmarks Prove Power of Compaq ProLiant Server
Running Windows 2000 and SQL Server 2000

HOUSTON, Feb. 17 /PRNewswire/ -- Delivering everything customers need to build a Windows 2000 infrastructure optimized for e-business, Compaq Computer Corporation (NYSE:
CPQ - news) today released record-breaking benchmarks that show the unbeatable power of Compaq ProLiant servers running Microsoft Windows 2000 and SQL Server 2000. Industry-leading benchmarks for Windows 2000 were recorded on Compaq's ProLiant Server line running a broad range of applications. These benchmarks prove that customers can deploy
their most demanding e-business applications running Windows 2000 on Compaq ProLiant Servers.

One of the benchmarks, achieved on a 'shared-nothing' cluster of 12 ProLiant 8500 servers
running Windows 2000 Datacenter Server, sets a new TPC-C record -- for any hardware, operating system or database -- of 227,079.15 transactions per minute at $19.12 per tpmC. This represents the first time an industry-standard system has out-performed all other TPC-C benchmarks. In fact, the Compaq ProLiant 8500 cluster demonstrated nearly twice the performance of the top competitors including SUN Enterprise 6500 and IBM RS6000.

The benchmark result, 21,000 concurrent HRMS users, was achieved on a Compaq ProLiant 8000 database server with eight Intel Pentium III Xeon 550 MHz processors. This
result is the highest ever achieved on any platform and is 20 percent better than the best result achieved on a competing platform.

Not bad eh?
