HIGHLIGHTS

o  Comes with two AlphaServer 2100 5/250 Rackmount Systems

o  Now supports wide SCSI drives

PRODUCT DESCRIPTION

The AdvantageCluster Available Server (ACAS) 2105/250 system comes with
two Digital UNIX based AlphaServer 2100 5/250 RM (rackmount) systems in
one cabinet, and is ready for user-selected storage options.

Each AlphaServer 2100 5/250 RM system comes in a single-processor
configuration with

o  2-GB, RZ28 internal system disk
o  128 or 512 MB of memory
o  Digital UNIX operating system
o  DECsafe Available Server software (two licenses and documentation)
o  NAS200 software package (includes Logical Storage Manager and POLYCENTER
   Advanced File System utilities)
o  Two KZPSA-BB Fast Wide Differential SCSI controllers
o  SCSI cabling (host-end terminations for connection to first storage
   option)

The ACAS 2105/250 will expand to up to four symmetric multiprocessing
(SMP) processors per node, and up to three shared SCSI buses with
KZPSA-BB controllers. Each shared SCSI bus can support up to five
3.5-inch narrow (8-bit) drives or up to five 3.5-inch wide (16-bit)
drives using DWZZA/DWZZB SCSI converters. To increase storage capacity,
users can choose the HSZ40 RAID array controller that provides

o  Six fast, narrow single-ended channels
o  Support for RAID levels 0, 1, 0+1, and 5
o  Up to 42 drives in non-redundant configurations
o  36 drives in redundant configurations
