![[Picture of AlphaServer 2100]](DELL_PE_8450.jpg)
The University owns three Dell PowerEdge
8450 servers which run the GNU/ Linux operating system.
In December, 2001, during a long planned migration, these
servers replaced three existing Compaq AlphaServer 2100
servers which ran the Compaq Tru64 UNIX operating system.
The following are specifications for these machines:
