DGN tops HP and ALR NT database servers performance - INFOWORLD Mar 9 1998 Comparison tests Appreciate your reply Mike. I begin to understand the "marketing" handicap you implied. I came across results of a performance tests between DGN, Digital, IBM, ALR, Compaq and Unisys that highlight the technical competence of DGN you mention. The servers tested had the following criteria: below 100,000 US$, at least 1GB RAM, MS SQL 6.5 and 10/100 Mbps network interface cards Those that accepted the challenge: DGN Aviion AV8600 w/8 processors, 2GB RAM ALR Revolution 6x6 200/1 w/6 processors. 4GB RAM HP NetServer LXr Pro8 w/8 processors, 2GB RAM The test was to rate the best server to handle mission critical applications. DGN topped - most well rounded and expandable however was the most expensive (price and 3-yr support) I am looking to enter this price range... but perhaps will wait for next Q earnings performance.
