Advantages of DIGITAL HiTest Suites
This chapter describes what a HiTest Suite is, the suite components and advantages, and
customer add-ons.
What Is a DIGITAL HiTest Suite?
DIGITAL HiTest Suites are guidelines for configuring a set of prequalified computer systems.
A HiTest Suite often contains all the hardware and software needed for a complete customer
solution. DIGITAL HiTest Suites can be used as a basis for configuring systems that satisfy a
wide set of customer requirements. Typically, Suites target specific markets such as data
warehousing, the internet and intranet servers segment, and the mail and messaging servers
segment.
In each HiTest Suite, the components are selected and the configurations designed to ensure
system reliability, application performance, and ability to upgrade. The suite's hardware and
software components have been successfully tested for interoperability.
The specifications for allowed ranges of hardware and software components, part numbers,
description, and revision information are listed in the DIGITAL HiTest Template in Chapter 3.

components: the DIGITAL HiTest Foundation, the DIGITAL HiTest AppSet, and the System
