Overview

The AlphaServer GS80, GS160, and GS320 systems are high-performance

server platforms designed for enterprise-level applications. They are

distinguished by their versatility and high degree of scalability and

expandability.

These powerful, switch-based systems use four Alpha microprocessors per quad

building block (QBB). Two QBBs paired back-to-back and rotated 180

with

reference to each other form a system box. Each QBB backplane contains a

switch that acts as an interconnect between the CPU modules, memory

modules, I/O riser modules, and the global port module.
