It will enable both Unix and NT to run on the same hardware platform. The architecture provides excellent investment protection for customers running applications on current Intel-based and PA-RISC systems. Customers can run their current applications unchanged on these new systems, achieving somewhere between 60-80 percent of the architecture's peak performance by just recompiling their applications. Our transition strategy is very customer-friendly. Customers can choose when they migrate, and their applications can coexist on both the old and new architectures. We believe we're years ahead of the competition in thinking about this transition. We are working closely with all the major independent software vendors — industry leaders such as Oracle and Informix, SAP and PeopleSoft — to make sure their products are optimized for the new architecture by the time it is launched. Finally, we are quite clear about our intention to make this architecture an industry standard. That means there must be a level playing field for our competitors in terms of access to this new architecture. So we're delighted to see strong competitors like Compaq endorse it. We are confident that we can still differentiate HP products above and beyond the microprocessor level. We have lots of expertise in systems-level architectures, high-availability and reliability, advanced compiler technology, powerful middleware and networking capabilities. And we will complete the value proposition with our worldwide service and support capabilities, strong partnerships with solution providers and diverse distribution channels. So differentiating in the new era will be "business as usual" for HP.
它可使 UNIX和NT在同一硬件平臺上運行。該基礎結構為目前在基于Intel和PA-RISC系統上運行的應用程序的客戶提供了良好的投資保護?？蛻艨稍谛碌南到y上運行現有的應用程序，只需重新編譯其應用程序，即可獲得基礎結構最高性能的60%至80%。我們的過渡戰略奉行客戶至上的原則。客戶在遷移時即可選擇，而他們的應用程序可在新、舊基礎結構中并存。我們認為，就這一過渡而言，我們比競爭對手先進若干年。目前，我們與所有主要的獨立軟件廠商，諸如甲骨文公司、Informix公司、SAP公司及PeopleSoft公司等業界領先者合作并確保它們的產品在上市之時適用于新的基礎結構。最后，我們的目標非常明確，就是將這一基礎結構變為行業標準。這就意味著，就訪問這一新的基礎結構而言，必須為競爭者提供毫無障礙的場所。因此，我們高興地看到，諸如康柏電腦公司這樣的強有力的競爭對手也對此表示了認同。我們信心十足地表示惠普的產品仍將高于并超出微處理器的水平。我們在系統級基礎結構、高度可用性以及可靠性、先進的編譯程序技術、強大的中間設備以及網絡功能方面擁有許多專門知識。我們將強化我們的全球服務和支持能力，實現我們的價值主張，加強與解決方案供應商的合作關系，并多方開辟經銷渠道。所以，對惠普來說，在新時期，追求不同仍是“一如既往的業務”。
