HP AlphaServer systems with enterprise-class operating system choices of OpenVMS and Tru64 UNIX® continue to offer rock-solid reliability, application availability and performance, simplified
management and flexibility. HP proudly supplied AlphaServer systems to leading business, education and government enterprises around the globe from 1992 until 2007. HP will continue to offer Service
for Alpha Systems to assure reliable operation for many more years. The Alpha Retain Trust website has
procedures, tools, and information about HP Services available to ease the transition from Alpha systems to other HP products.
I want to personally thank you for 15 years of loyal patronage; Ann McQuaid, General Manager, Alpha Systems Division.
