- Disclaimer - I'm an engineer not a human product range catalogue, if I missed
- anything please don't be annoyed.
-
- we make and/or resell (e.g. in the case of AT&T developed systems)
-
- System 3000s from notebook+pen-interface thru dos-os/2 boxes onto UNIX boxes
- then multiprocessor UNIX boxes and at the top big-multiprocessor boxes:
- the 3600 which is like a big UNIX TP engine mated with a Teradata DBC1012 and
- on the way (if not here) the ever bigger 3700 which has an enhanced version of
- the original Teradata Y-Net (BY-Net).
- BTW Teradata is now a unit of NCR, called NCR Teradata.
-
- RAID (redundant array of inexpensive disks) systems
-
- A whole slew of SCSI peripherals (printers, disks, tapes,
- and real big SCSI terminal servers)
-
- Some 3B2s
-
- Some StarServers, at least the fault tolerant one i think
-
- Lots and lots of ATMs (automated teller machines)
-
- Cheque (or check) processing and sorting equipment
-
- Point of sale systems
-
- Teller station systems
-
- Loads of software including UNIX, COOPERATION, StarGROUP (Lan manager),
- StarPRO (OSI), StarSENTRY (network management)
-
- StarLAN (10BaseT + coax and fibre) hubs, media convertors, cards
-
- StarWAN brouters
-
- VDUs
-
- X stations
-
- Ethernet terminal servers
-
- Some NCR country organizations also have groups (like mine) that will
- design and manufacture custom systems and devices when there is nothing
- that quite fits your needs.
-
- + whatever I forgot.
