System testing will make sure that all the components are properly working in the system and UI is properly integrated with the requirements.
Where as Alpha testing is a part of Acceptance Testing which will make sure that the system is ready for production deployment. Alpha testing is done at the developers end and with a controlled environment where as guided by the developer,limited number of test cases are being tested against the requirements of the product. opposite to that Beta testing is also possible at customers End.

System test is done on a fully integrated system and is done at developers site by the testers team.
Acceptance test is of two types : alpha and beta
alpha is done at developers site and by the persons within the software developing organization.
while beta is performed by end users and at users site, not at the developers site.
My question is if both system and alpha testing is performed at developers site and is performed by persons within the organization then what is difference between the two???
