technology leadership from stockholder's meeting today...
? We have a technology base that few in our industry can match
? Let me give you a few examples.
? With our Alpha chip, Compaq has the highest-performance microprocessor in the
industry. And we intend to maintain the significant performance advantage we have over
our competitors.
? Digital and Tandem invented clustering technology, which enables companies to link
individual servers to form a single, tremendously powerful computing resource.
? Compaq invented the concept of the PC server, and we continue to lead in I/O
performance and system manageability features
? With AltaVista, we have the fastest Internet search technology in the industry, powered
by our Alpha systems
? And we are a leader in the increasingly important field of storage. Our products make it
possible to share large amounts of storage across multiple servers. This helps
companies deliver more information to more people more quickly than ever.
? It follows that a company with leadership technology is also an innovative company.
? Just think of the innovations the combined company has driven
? The first minicomputer
? The first commercial fault tolerant systems
? The first industry-standard portable PC
? The first PC server
? The first 64-bit systems
? The first Internet PCs
? This is reflected in the strength of our patent portfolio.
? About two weeks ago, Compaq Classic received its 1,000th patent
? It took the company 14 years to reach 500 patents . . . but only two and a half years to
reach 1,000
? When you add the patents from Digital and Tandem, we now have almost 3,000
patents, including 450 in 1998 alone
? This technology and innovation, of course, gives us tremendous depth and breadth in
information technology
? As a result, Compaq has been transformed from a PC company to a global IT company
? We have a product line that ranges from our new Aero 2100 palmtop, which has both a
color display and sound
? . . . all the way to the large, complex, NonStop systems that run the world's stock
exchanges.
