Regarding availability of RAID 7, Dave Goldblatt at Clarkson University

>I wonder if Wang resells them?

No, these RAID 7 disk array platforms are not available from us here
at the new Wang Labs.  You would have to get them directly from Storage
Computer in Nashua, New Hampshire, or via their European headquarters
in Frankfurt, or their European/Asia/Pacific distributors.  Here at the
new Wang Labs we are reselling a RAID 3 from another major vendor, because
the architecture more closely matches that of our VS minicomputers
(both those already installed and the new VS high-end models that have
been coming out recently.)   I'll be happy to find some technical RAID
reports on the Wang VS RAIDs for those people interested.

>Other than one article in a trade rag somewhere, I've never seen
anything else on it in the press.

Actually they've published a number of technical articles in the
literature.  They seem to prefer to publish more technical material,
rather than marketing blurbs.  There have been some recent, favorable
reviews of their products in Corporate Technology Review, Open Systems
Today, and iX magazine from Germany.  People interested could probably
get copies by calling them at 603-880-3005.

In general, they seem to prefer demoing their products at user group
meetings, rather than sending out press releases.  They have recently
had booths at the Banyan, Wang, and Sun users groups meetings, among
others.

I did the review for iX magazine. If you are interested in discussing
the details, please feel free to drop me an email.
