Opis:
[SLO]: MicroVAX predstavlja bolj kompaktno različico priljubljenega računalniškega sistema VAX, ki ga je razvilo podjetje Digital Equipment Corporation. Medtem ko je bil VAX sam po sebi velik sistem, pogosto zasedal prostor več hladilnikov, je bil nekoč standardna velikost za zmogljive računalniške naprave. V osemdesetih letih prejšnjega stoletja so IT-strokovnjaki pogosto delali z računalniki VAX ali IBM-ovimi mainframe sistemi, saj so bili ti sistemi ključni za delovanje univerz, znanstvenih ustanov, vladnih organizacij in velikih podjetij. Pred množičnim sprejetjem osebnih računalnikov so bili računalniki, kot je VAX, bistveni za upravljanje podatkovnih baz na ravni organizacij ali oddelkov. Uvedba MicroVAX-a je pomenila pomemben korak naprej v miniaturizaciji računalniške tehnologije. Ta razvoj je omogočil napredek, ki je omogočil integracijo tisočev ali celo milijonov tranzistorjev na en sam čip, kar je postavilo temelje za procesorje, ki danes poganjajo sodobne naprave. Veliki računalniški sistemi, ki so bili nekoč omejeni na poslovna in raziskovalna okolja, so se lahko zdaj skrčili v enote, dovolj majhne, da so se prilegale pod mizo. MicroVAX 3400, predstavljen leta 1988, je bil zasnovan kot strežnik srednjega razreda. Vsebuje KA640 procesorski modul, ki je deloval s taktom 20 MHz, in omogočal razširitev pomnilnika do 32 MB. Sistem je podpiral operacijska sistema VMS in ULTRIX-32. Za shranjevanje je uporabljal pogone Integrated Storage Element (ISE) iz serije RF in podpiral trakovne pogone, kot sta TK50 in TK70, za varnostno kopiranje in arhiviranje podatkov. Njegove zmogljive vhodno/izhodne zmogljivosti so omogočale brezhibno integracijo z različnimi terminali, tiskalniki in drugimi napravami, ki so bile pogosto uporabljene v poslovnih okoljih. [ENG]: The MicroVAX represents a more compact version of the widely-used VAX computer system developed by Digital Equipment Corporation. While the VAX itself was a large-scale system, often occupying the space of several refrigerators, it was once a standard size for powerful computing machines. In the 1980s, IT professionals frequently worked with VAX computers or IBM mainframes, as these systems were integral to the operations of universities, scientific institutions, governments, and large enterprises. Before the widespread adoption of PCs, computers like the VAX were essential for running organization-wide or departmental databases. The introduction of the MicroVAX marked a significant step forward in the miniaturization of computing technology. This development was made possible by advancements that allowed thousands, or even millions, of transistors to be integrated into a single chip, setting the stage for the processors that now drive modern devices. Large computer systems that were once confined to corporate and research environments could now be condensed into units small enough to fit under a desk. Released in 1988, the MicroVAX 3400 was positioned as a mid-range server. It featured the KA640 CPU module, which operated at a clock speed of 20 MHz, and offered expandable memory up to 32 MB. The system supported the VMS and ULTRIX-32 operating systems. For storage, it utilized Integrated Storage Element (ISE) drives from the RF-series and supported tape drives like the TK50 and TK70 for data backup and archiving. Its robust input/output capabilities allowed seamless integration with a variety of terminals, printers, and other devices commonly used in enterprise environments.
