MicroVAX 3100 Systems

A family of low-cost, high-performance desktop servers

You've depended on the strength and power of VAX technology, affordable SCSI-based storage, simplified desktop integration, and easy upgradability. You've looked to Digital's MicroVAX 3100 family as your number one choice. Well, look again.

With the addition of the MicroVAX 3100 Model 96, Digital offers a new, more powerful line-up of desktop systems designed to address client/server and multiuser demands for simplified desktop integration.

Engineered to ensure your data, applications, and business information are safe and secure, the newest member of the MicroVAX family puts the CPU power of a mid-range system on the desktop -- for the price of a multiuser PC.

And, these systems offer a low-cost entry into the world of VAX computing with its open architecture, exceptional features, and wealth of OpenVMS applications. Plus, now the entire family is protected by a three-year warranty.

Highlights

Systems that match your business and your budget

Whether your business is small or large, there's a MicroVAX system for you. You can enter the world of VAX computing with the most affordable Model 40, offering a low-risk, high-return investment. When your business grows, you can upgrade to a higher-performing Model 85 for applications that demand higher processing power. And, for maximum performance and expandability, where applications require processing speeds up to 200 transactions per second, the Model 96 is the right choice.

This flexibility, coupled with a three-year warranty providing next-day response, gives businesses the investment protection their applications demand.
