Opening Remarks, Awards, and Keynote Address

More Than the Sum of the Parts:
Combining Windows NT and Legacy Platforms
David P. Rodgers, Vice President, NT Program Office, Compaq Computer Corporation

Rather than replace legacy platforms with Windows NT, organizations should combine the two platforms. Windows NT can supply flexibility, distributed computing, and Web capabilities, while legacy systems can compensate for NT's weaknesses in areas such as scalability, availability, and manageability.

David Rodgers currently oversees Compaq's effort to accelerate the adoption of Windows NT on Compaq hardware for mission-critical distributed transaction processing applications. Previously Vice President of Corporate Architecture at Sequent, he was also responsible for developing their Balance and Symmetry multiprocessor systems and the Dynix OS. During his ten-year stay at Digital Equipment Corporation, Rodgers headed the CPU development team on the VAX-11/780 super-minicomputer at Digital and was one of the architects of the Digital VAX computer family.
