Seven levels of computing
To provide the seven levels of computing the System 3000 uses three
computing architectures: uniprocessing, tightly coupled multi-
processing, and loosely coupled parallel processing. The seven levels
of computing are as follows:
Level 1--System 3100 models are window-compatible portable computers,
including notepad and notebook models. The notepad model supports DOS,
and the notebook model supports DOS and OS/2.
Level 2--System 3200 models are entry-level desktop computers,
offering a broad performance range, yet packaged in a small-footprint
cabinet. These models will support DOS, OS/2, SCO UNIX, and UNIX System
V Release 4.0.
Level 3--In the 3300 level, NCR made available three uniprocessor
models; the NCR 3320, 3340, and 3345. Each functions as a fully
configurable, high-performance workstation as well as an entry-level,
workgroup server. Scalable power is achieved through the use of an
Intel 386SX 20 MHz or a 486 25 MHz or 33 MHz processor, providing from
7.5 to 27 MIPS. Memory options range from 2 to 64 MB with internal disk
storage of up to 680 MB. A 4-slot, 20 MB MCA I/O bus is standard and
supports up to 32 direct connections or 64 local area network (LAN)-
based connections. These desktop systems offer broad configurability
and a wide range of performance, while still maintaining a footprint
suitable for office environments. These models support DOS, OS/2, SCO
UNIX, and UNIX System V Release 4.0.
Level 4--In the 3400 level, NCR is actively marketing the 3445, a
uniprocessor server based on an Intel 486 33 MHz microprocessor that
provides 27 MIPS of computer power. It uses tightly coupled
microprocessor architecture. This model features memory options of 4 MB
to 64 MB, SCSI up to 5.0 MB per second, and internal disk storage
options of up to 3.3 GB. A processor/memory/bus, with a bandwidth of
176 MB per second and a 7-slot, 20 MB per second MCA I/O bus are
included. The NCR 3445 can support up to 128 connections in any
combination of direct or LAN attachments. The NCR 3445 supports DOS,
OS/2, SCO UNIX, and UNIX System V Release 4.0.
The NCR 3450 is an entry-level, multiprocessor (1-4 asymmerical
multiprocessor) server which operates under the NCR UNIX V.4
multiprocessing operating system. Scalable performance results from the
use of 1-4 Intel 486 50 MHz microprocessors providing from 40 to 160
MIPS. The model offers memory options of 4 MB to 256 MB, SCSI up to 10
MB per second, internal and external disk storage options of up to 6 GB
and 50 GB respectively, including an arrayed disk option. An 8-slot 80
MB per second MCA I/O bus and dual 32-bit processor/memory busses, with
a combined bandwidth of 200 MB per second, support up to 256 connections
in any combination of direct or LAN attachments. The multiprocessor
model supports UNIX System V Release 4.0 and DOS applications under
VP/ix. The availability for the 3445 is immediate and the 3450 is 45-60
days.
Level 5--The level 3500, model 3550, is a symmetric, multiprocessor,
mainframe-class computer system. The 3550 uses the new NCR UNIX V.4
multiprocessing operating system. Incremental performance results from
the use of 2 to 8 Intel 486 50 MHz microprocessors, providing 80-320
MIPS. Memory options range from 16 MB to 256 MB, with internal disk
storage up to 13 GB and external disk array capacities of up to 50 GB.
Two 8-slot, 80 MB MVA busses provide an aggregate throughput of 160 MB
per second and dual 64-bit processor/memory busses result in a combined
bandwidth of up to 400 MB per second. Mainframe-class reliability, data
integrity, configurability, and performance through scalable, symmetric,
tightly coupled multiprocessors. These models support UNIX System V
Release 4.0 and DOS applications under VP/ix. The 3550, the only member
of this level available, has a 6-8 week availability.
Level 6--System 3600 model is NCR's new successors to expensive
mainframe clusters. Using loosely coupled parallel processing, these
models are the first fruits of the NCR's joint development with, and
investment in, Teradata. These models support UNIX System V Release 4.0
and DOS applications under VP/ix. The NCR System 3000/3600 is available
for orders. According to International Data Corporation (IDC), the 3600
is considered NCR's UNIX database engine. It incorporates technology
from NCR, Teradata, and Sybase. This system is not a conventional
mainframe, and NCR is not positioning it as such. While NCR will
achieve up to 8-way SMP performance on off-the-shelf software, its
parallel performance shines best when running Teradata's SQL engine.
Disadvantages: NCR faces a shortage of development tools and lacks
experience selling million-dollar systems to MIS. (NCR will target
traditional retail and banking customers early on.) IDC does not expect
significant revenues or competitive impact until second half 1992.
Level 7--System 3700 models offer enormous total performance.
Configured with up to thousands of processors, these models are targeted
to support the most demanding enterprise applications. Using loosely
coupled parallel processing, these models are optimized for online
transaction processing and decision support. These models will support
UNIX System V Release 4.0 and DOS applications under VP/ix.

Migration plans to the NCR 3000 platform
According to users and industry executives, AT&T/NCR's merged product
line will give the new company a strong technology offering in
distributed computing with solid connectivity and network management
products, and a head start in the emerging technology of cooperative
computing (see migration chart).
The networking architecture for the combined operation will be NCR's
standard-based Open Cooperative Computing Architecture (OCCA see
appendix for details), which has superb SNA connectivity, filled out
with AT&T's Stargroup LAN Manager for connections to desktop PCs and
Apple Macintoshes. The new company's network management strategy will
use AT&T's system manager and computer manager which has UNIX system
connectivity. Regarding cooperative computing, the combined
organization is relying on cooperation from NCR.
[Figure: AT&T/NCR Product Migration Plan: Software, Caption: none]
The story on the hardware side is largely one Intel architecture line
being replaced by another, as AT&T products get phased out and replaced
by NCR's new System 3000 line.
[Figure: AT&T/NCR Product Migration Plan: Hardware, Caption: none]
The two major products that are being eliminated entirely are the
Motorola-based NCR Tower line and AT&T 3B2 with its proprietary Western
Electric processor.
[Figure: AT&T/NCR System Consolidation Plan, Caption: none]
AT&T recently released a MIPS RISC-based 3B2 (3B2/1000 R3). And will
now OEM Pyramid's MIPS RISC-based MIserver S Series. AT&T calls it the
System 7000/R3. The 3B2 is expected to be supported by AT&T through
1993. The System 7000 Series, which AT&T currently OEMs from Pyramid
Technology, is expected to begin migrating to the Model 3500 by the end
of 1992. The combined organization will continue support for the
StarServer FT, a fault-tolerant machine OEM'ed from Tandem.
Overall, users of AT&T products will continue to be supported as long
as they wish to stay with the AT&T line. The plan is to eventually
phase out the AT&T product line.
