  4. Reasons behind the IPF migration • Business planning for the fiscal 2001 year precipitated a competitive analysis • EV7 Marvel systems were clearly competitive industry leading products • EV8 would be competitive but differentiation compared to previous products would be less • Investment to execute flawlessly would be significant and resource availability added great risk • Conclusion of the evaluation team was that we need a microprocessor partner (Intel IPF) • Executive review and analysis lead to same conclusions and a collaboration with Intel was pursued.

  5. What does this mean? • Systems that previously were all internal Compaq Intellectual property contain Intel’s IP. • Stricter control on information dissemination is required • Software comes from 4 major sources: • OpenVMS • Tru64 Unix • Windows • Linux • Protection of external IP prevents previous levels of detail without NDA’s for both Compaq and the external partners

EV7 EV79 EV68 EV67 OpenVMS Alpha and Itanium™ processor family Porting Timeline Itanium McKinley Madison “Post VNext” (H1CY04) for Itanium™ processor family and Alpha Systems Future releases providing Continued Enhancement & Support OpenVMS Version 7.2 Version 7.3 Version 7.3-x… OpenVMS/IPF Boot H2CY02 Ship H1CY03 Update H2CY03 Transition Period 2010 2000 2001 2002 2003 2004 2005 2006 2007 2008 2009 Alpha Platform Itanium™ processor family Platforms

  10. ISV PortingWorking jointly with Intel • Engaging top-tier partners early to: • Identify their requirements • Get input on White Papers and other tools to assist ISVs in porting • Develop joint plans with the ISVs for early adoption with timelines and commitments • Establish a high level engagement model and implementation plan to move forward rapidly

  11. ISV Program – Moving Forward • Primary Objective • Develop a full portfolio of partners to support the top Solutions for our customers Near term Deliverables • White Papers and other tools to guide ISV porting efforts • Compaq technical resources to work on site with key ISVs • Early IPF seed units for key partners • Joint marketing & migration plans with key ISVs

  12. The Strength of Compaq Enterprise Systems Continues! • Performance • Coupling the Itanium microprocessor with Compaq systems architecture, storage architecture, devices and other infrastructure tools and products, gives our customers the best price/performance in enterprise computing. • Scalability • Large, scalable system engineering of Compaq will continue to give customers the best reliability, scalability, availability and security • Availability • Availability and ease-of-manage provided through our OpenVMS and Tru64UNIX operating systems will continue to provide the best RAS in the industry. Long term investment in Alpha™ environment is secured
