- Regarding availability of RAID 7, Dave Goldblatt at Clarkson University

- 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.

-
- 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.
