Compaq Achieves #1 in High Performance Revenue for Second Consecutive Year Says IDC Report; Market Share of 22.8 Percent Leads All Vendors HOUSTON, March 4 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- For the second consecutive year, Compaq Computer Corporation (NYSE: CPQ) has achieved industry-leading performance as the #1 vendor in high performance server revenue with a 22.8 percent overall market share and $1.15 billion in sales revenue, according to the International Data Corporation (IDC) Technical Systems and Servers 2001 Year in Review Report released in February 2002. Compaq led all vendors in the "Departmental" segment of the IDC Report with 28 percent of the revenue, and Compaq's AlphaServer SC series running Tru64 UNIX has become the system of choice for many of the world's most demanding high performance customers, enabling Compaq to double its market share growth in the "Capability" segment. The report provides continued proof for Compaq's focused strategy for high performance technical computing, and Compaq's leadership in this arena reflects a continuing wave of major supercomputer contract wins in genomics, bioinformatics, life sciences, research, computer simulation and animation during the past 12 months. "Compaq's effort to maintain its strong position in the technical server market has been validated for the second consecutive year with it achieving industry-leading performance as the #1 vendor in high performance server revenue as reported in our 2001 technical systems and servers year in review report," said Debra Goldfarb, group vice president, Worldwide Enterprise Systems for IDC. "We have every expectation that Compaq will continue to be intensely focused on this segment through strong partnerships, innovation in important emerging technologies, such as grids and clusters, and by staying close to its customers."
