Amdahl Enhances Leading LVS 4500 Open Systems Storage Offering With New High Performance Disk Technology.SUNNYVALE, Calif.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Jan. 13, 1997--Amdahl Corporation today announced enhancements to its LVS LVS Linux Virtual Server LVS Live Vaccine Strain LVS Las Vegas, New Mexico (Airport Code) LVS Low Voltage Switchgear LVS Logistical Vehicle System LVS Laser Vibration Sensor LVS Logistics Vehicle System 4500 open systems storage offering that will provide customers with the industry's highest storage capacity in the smallest footprint, while protecting their current investment in open systems storage. The enhancements include incorporation of 3.5", 7200 RPM, 9.1 GB disk technology, more than doubling storage capacity of these systems in the UNIX UNIX Operating system for digital computers, developed by Ken Thompson of Bell Laboratories in 1969. It was initially designed for a single user (the name was a pun on the earlier operating system Multics). and clustered Windows NT (Windows New Technology) A 32-bit operating system from Microsoft for Intel x86 CPUs. NT is the core technology in Windows 2000 and Windows XP (see Windows). Available in separate client and server versions, it includes built-in networking and preemptive multitasking. environments. This, combined with large cache and the industry's fastest data pipes, brings new levels of performance and capacity to online transaction processing See transaction processing and OLCP. (OLTP (OnLine Transaction Processing) See transaction processing and OLCP. OLTP - On-Line Transaction Processing ) and data warehousing See data warehouse. data warehousing - data warehouse users. "These new drives provide a competitively priced, high performance storage system for client/server requirements," said Charles Foley Charles Foley (1931–) invented Twister, together with Neil W. Rabens. Received only 2.5% royalties for three years from Milton Bradley, which amounted to about $27,000. , vice president of Enterprise Storage Systems, Amdahl Corporation. "This provides an unprecedented GB/sq.ft. profile, conserving valuable data center floor space and furthers Amdahl's lead in the industry providing high availability, high performance solutions across the spectrum of our customers' needs." A single LVS 4500 Logical Storage Module (LSM LSM Linux Software Map LSM Louisiana State Museum LSM Linux Security Module LSM Living Stream Ministry LSM Laser Scanning Microscopy LSM Legato Storage Manager LSM Land-Surface Model LSM Lutheran Student Movement LSM Logical Storage Manager ) can now contain up to 273 GB of high performance storage, with a single Data Center Cabinet holding up to 819 GB in a single 19" rack mount footprint. Amdahl customers benefit from this enhancement by reducing floor space requirements and price per megabyte without a sacrifice in performance. The 9.1 GB disk technology is compatible with existing 4.3 GB disks, allowing IT managers to protect their existing open systems storage investment. Amdahl has developed more than two decades of world-class service and support experience in working with large-scale computing solutions and client/server technology.
