Marlborough, Massachusetts-based Stratus Computer Inc has expanded its 80860 RISC-based XA/R family of fault-tolerant FTX 2 Unix System V.4 and VOS computers with launch of the Model 300 to provide a high-end model way above the single machine currently available, the Model 20. The XA/R Model 300 is available immediately and shipments have already been made. The changes are in the disk and the number of lines supported: the Model 300 comes with up to 256Mb of duplexed memory, 18.7Gb of duplexed disk – more than double that of the Model 20, and up to 1,500 communications lines, more than double the number on the 20. Prices start at $343,000. Stratus also introduced an enhanced 128Mb memory board for the XA2000 and XA/R Series with four times the memory previously available on a single board, at $1,225 per Mb. And there is a new input output processor subsystem for midrange and high-end XA2000s and XA/Rs, providing up to twice the previously available bandwidth. It is from $28,500, now.
