- 1776 Disk Striping can be obtained as an OEM product or as part of 1776 Disk
- Array Software, first runner-up in SCO's 1993 Products of the Year contest
- (see separate listing.) It is intended for servers, particularly in
- client-server systems, where top performance is required and where there is
- heavy disk and access. It allows SCO-based systems to support far more users
- and heavier loads than previously possible, competing effectively with more
- expensive mid-range systems. By permitting perfectly balanced concurrent
- access to multiple hard drives, disk performance can be increased up to 3.5X
- as shown by Neal Nelson benchmark testing. This is essential for adequate
- performance in Pentium or MPX servers where performance is almost always held
- back by the slower disk drives. 1776 Disk Striping works better than hardware
- disk caching because its benefits do not diminish as the database grows
- larger. The unique 1776 ArrayDriver provided with this software minimizes
- disk head movement and system interrupts, thus enabling greater performance
- than other software striping products, on par with the fastest hardware-level
- array boards. Simple installation and on-line storage management result in
- easy start-up and administration.
