Product Description

VAX 7000 Enterprise Servers are part of a family of OpenVMS based systems

 

designed for the rigorous demands of data center computing. They have a

 

modular platform which enables users to improve performance in a number of

 

different dimensions— symmetric multiprocessing, larger memory, more I/O

 

bandwidth, greater disk capacity, and OpenVMS Cluster systems. VAX 7000

 

servers support additional I/O controllers, storage, user licenses, database

 

software.

 

With up to 6 CPUs in a symmetric multiprocessing (SMP) configuration and up

 

to 400 Mbytes/second of I/O, a single VAX 7000 system offers the powerful

 

features needed in data center systems. VAX 7000 systems in OpenVMS Cluster

 

configurations provide support for as much as 10 terabytes of storage.

 

An optional N+1 redundant power system allows for higher system availability

 

in the event of a power regulator failure. Systems can be configured with up to

 

three power regulators. Optional system level Uninterruptable Power Supplies

 

(UPS) are available to support CPU and I/O expansion cabinets.

 

The VAX 7000 Enterprise Server provides substantial I/O capacity, one 12-slot

 

XMI I/O channel is standard, with the option of adding up to three additional

 

12-slot XMI I/O channels. XMI I/O channels offer a bandwidth of 100

 

Mbytes/second each, making this system capable of providing very high I/O

 

bandwidth performance—up to 400 Mbytes/second.

 

XMI devices supported include adapters for Ethernet, CI, FDDI, and DSSI

 

interconnects. Support for up to sixteen Ethernet adapters, ten CI adapters,

 

twelve DSSI adapters, and eight FDDI adapters demonstrates the large

 

expansion potential of these systems. StorageWorks controllers enable SCSI-2

 

devices to provide reliable high-end storage on the CI bus.

 

Enterprise Expansion Packages may be ordered with a single part number to

 

provide the hardware and licensing necessary to start an OpenVMS Cluster or

 

add another node to an existing cluster.
