VAX 7000 systems

High performance, powerful I/O, and great expansion for enterprise solutions

When performance is critical to your business, consider the VAX™ 7000 family of systems. They provide high performance, powerful I/O, and great expansion for enterprise solutions -- from 375 to 1,200 TPS of performance.

The VAX 7000 family of systems offers you data center solutions that reduce computing costs while increasing productivity. Their flexibility and ability to expand permit old mainframe sites to "rightsize" their applications in the most cost-effective manner. These systems are also ideal for organizations processing high-volume transactions or large-scale commercial batch jobs, and those needing network support for distributed operations.

Even the largest applications previously run on expensive mainframes can run more cost-effectively on a VAX 7000 system. This makes the VAX 7000 an ideal backbone computing platform, capable of supporting numerous business-critical applications.

The VAX 7000 system incorporates many improvements in design and manufacturing to ensure high reliability, availability, expandability, and superior performance. Designed around Digital's high-performance CMOS technology, the VAX 7000 provides full error protection on the system bus, all memory modules,and the write-back cache.
