DEC 3000 Model 900 AXP Workstation Info Sheet
HIGHLIGHTS
o Fastest workstation in the world
o Leadership performance and price/performance, better than IBM, HP,
or SGI
o 16.82 XMARKS, fastest in the world
PRODUCT DESCRIPTION
In announcing the DEC 3000 Model 900 AXP workstation, Digital is
responding to more and more complex user requirements:
o Users are working with complex MCAD solid models, GIS datasets, or
molecular models that require increased performance.
o Workstation applications demand more performance to deliver more
results.
o Users need all the performance they can get in their office to solve
their business problems.
The Model 900 offers more power than any other workstation in the
industry, with unsurpassed computing and graphics performance. It has
scored 16.82 XMARKS in performance with the standard ZLX-E1 graphics
card.
BENEFITS
o Most graphics and computational calculations are designed to run on
uniprocessor systems such as Digital's DEC 3000 family, and the
Model 900 offers the highest level of integer, floating point, and
graphics performance available today.
o The entire line of Alpha AXP systems is binary compatible from the
lowest cost to the fastest. This binary compatibility eliminates the
need to choose between performance and compatibility. Upgrades from
current AXP workstations to the Model 900 systems protect users'
investments.
AVAILABILITY AND ORDERING (NOTE: Pricing is U.S. only)
The DEC 3000 Model 900 AXP workstation will be available in August 1994
with DEC OSF/1 AXP V2.1 and OpenVMS AXP V6.1.
Digital is offering upgrades from the Model 800 family to the new Model
900 family with a field service installed board swap. Users upgrading
from a Model 500 or 500X will receive a complete new system box.
Factory installed software is not a substitute for media and
documentation. Users order either the OpenVMS AXP V6.1 or DEC OSF/1
V2.1 media and documentation kit as a separate line item. Although all
systems with a disk have factory installed software, we recommend at
least one media and documentation kit per site.

DEC 3000 AXP systems are supported worldwide by Digital's service
organization and covered by Digital's standard warranty services.
