I think that's unlikely.

My read of this was that the Alpha system was used as the
backend for the data collection pipeline, probably handling
overall management of the monitoring data, and possibly hosting
some analysis.  That is, the Alphas are the repository of
whatever information is being generated by realtime monitoring
systems, but not taking that data themselves.

My guess would be that they are/were running VMS, but who knows?
