DIGITAL ANNOUNCES MICROSOFT WINDOWS NT SUPPORT FOR STORAGEWORKS RAID ARRAY
410 SUBSYSTEM

StorageWorks Provides Fast-Growing Base of Windows NT Users With Robust
RAID Solution to Meet Enterprise Storage Requirements

MAYNARD, Mass., April 5, 1996 -- Digital Equipment Corporation today
answered the call of Microsoft Windows NT users seeking more robust
storage solutions by extending support of the StorageWorks RAID Array 410
storage subsystem to NT environments. The RAID Array 410 is the first
high-end RAID solution to provide NT users with highly-reliable, robust
RAID storage capabilities and, with its significant performance
enhancements, offers the best price/performance of any RAID system
supporting a multi-vendor environment.

As applications continue to move from mainframe to client/ server
environments, users are demanding the same levels of performance, data
availability and reliability found in the datacenter. And organizations
upgrading their workstations or consolidating their UNIX and PC networks
demand higher-end features and expanded storage capacity. The RAID Array
410 for NT addresses storage requirements in both these common scenarios.

"Intel-based NT has become the platform of choice and NT users will
increasingly require industrial-strength storage solutions to meet their
enterprise needs," said Bruce Baird, StorageWorks PC Networks marketing
manager. "As the pioneer in providing NT users with the power of RAID,
first with our award-winning RAID Array 230 and now with the RAID Array
410, Digital is pleased to be addressing NT users' storage requirements at
the high-end."

RAID Array 410 Features and Benefits

The RAID Array 410 provides reliable, expandable, cost-effective RAID
storage for NT environments. The modular architecture, snap-in, hot-swap
components, and intuitive graphical user interface allow for easy
installation, maintenance and expansion. Key features of the RAID Array
410 for NT include optimized performance with up to 4,350 I/Os with a
single controller configuration and increased ease of management through a
unique caching algorithm that senses workload demands and dynamically
adjusts to RAID Level 5 or 3 implementation.
