Hardware Today: HPC Server Snapshot 

(first paragraph)

Vast marketing budgets from the likes of Dell, Microsoft, and IBM ensure
the behemoths take much of the server limelight, leaving
high-performance computing (HPC) niche players, such as NEC and Bull, 
to
receive scant coverage. Even a company like HP, which spends as much 
on
marketing and public relations as a small country's GDP, hardly seems to
give its AlphaServer line more than a mention. Yet, these platforms have
a lot to offer and shouldn't be automatically bypassed. 

This week, we'll take a look at HP's AlphaServers and offerings from NEC
and Bull. We'll examine who's using them, what's new, and what can 
we
expect in 2005?

(last paragraph)

"The OpenVMS operating system is about to be introduced on Integrity
(Itanium) systems," said Smith. "We are also about to introduce mixed
clusters of Alpha and Integrity systems running the OpenVMS operating
system." HP will soon be making an announcement about OpenVMS on 
Itanium
2, and a mixed cluster announcement is expected some time in February
