large memory (VLM) capacity to deliver high-performance solutions for data
warehousing, data marts, data mining and other enterprise applications.
"A large number of our customers have chosen Compaq and Red Brick for a
data warehousing solution designed to support high availability and very large

Red Brick Data Mine for High-Value Predictive Analysis
Red Brick Data Mine is high-performance data mining software that is fully

data mining software is specifically designed to read very large volumes of
data -- hundreds of millions of rows and hundreds of attributes -- through
state-of-the-art functionality. Red Brick Data Mine is designed to find
patterns, trends and relationships which would be difficult, if not
impossible, to find with assumptive querying techniques or traditional
client-based data mining tools.
Red Brick customers and partners using Red Brick Data Mine can generate
analytic applications which are designed to quickly deliver high business
value and return on investment.

Compaq was the first to deliver and is today the leading provider of

which requires extremely fast processing on very large databases. The
AlphaServer platform delivers superior data mining performance, based on
Compaq's Alpha processors, running at speeds up to 625 MHz, and the ability to
provide speedy, in-memory access to entire databases.
AlphaServer systems are available in configurations ranging from
single-processor entry-level systems to mainframe-class servers that leverage
the power and scalability of up to 14 processors and 28 GB of memory. All
