Innovation
– Compaq strives to lead the market with innovations. Two are relevant for
Windchill. The first is the recent development by Compaq and Corollary of an eight-processor
(eight-way) Intel server. The result, the ProFusion Architecture, is now used by all other
manufacturers. All eight-way systems have a Compaq chip design at their heart. Second,
Compaq continues to enhance the resilience of its systems and has designed fault prediction
software applicable to memory and disk drives. We call this pre-failure warranty, enabling
customers to replace failing products BEFORE they fail and to do so free under warranty with
no data loss.
