- Opis:
- Velika škatla na koleščkih. [SLO]: Digital R400Z je enota za širitev shrambe, zasnovana za integracijo s sistemom računalnikov VAX 4000, kar omogoča povezovanje različnih shranjevalnih naprav, vključno s trdimi diski in trakovnimi enotami. Glavni računalnik, ki vsebuje CPU, je bil primerljivih dimenzij in je imel podoben oblikovalski slog. Serija VAX 4000, del družine VAX podjetja Digital Equipment Corporation (DEC), je predstavljala linijo superračunalnikov, uvedenih v poznih 1980-ih in zgodnjih 1990-ih. Ti sistemi so bili posebej zasnovani za profesionalne in industrijske aplikacije, saj so organizacijam zagotavljali močne računalniške zmogljivosti za zahtevne operacije. V nasprotju z manjšimi osebnimi računalniki, pogostimi v gospodinjstvih v istem obdobju, so bili VAX 4000 in podobni računalniki zgrajeni za precej zahtevnejše naloge v profesionalnih okoljih. Medtem ko so bili domači računalniki tiste dobe predvsem uporabljeni za obdelavo besedil, igranje iger in osnovno programiranje, so bili sistemi, kot je VAX 4000, namenjeni kompleksnim operacijam na univerzah, v podjetjih in raziskovalnih centrih. Kljub trendu miniaturizacije v 1980-ih, so veliki računalniški sistemi ostali prisotni v teh profesionalnih okoljih. Domači računalniki, čeprav revolucionarni v svoji dostopnosti, so bili bistveno manj zmogljivi kot starejši računalniki velikosti sobe iz 1960-ih in 1970-ih. Prihod osebnega računalništva je prinesel tehnologijo na namizje, vendar so bili ti sistemi omejeni v svoji zmogljivosti, saj so služili predvsem potrebam posameznih uporabnikov. Medtem so profesionalni računalniki, ki so bili ključni za velika podjetja, ostali veliki, pri čemer so se procesorji zmanjševali, vendar so rešitve za shranjevanje, vključno z magnetnimi trakovi, še vedno zavzemale precejšen prostor. S povečanjem povpraševanja po strežnikih so se podobni veliki sistemi še naprej uporabljali, daleč presegajoč kompaktne sisteme, kot jih poznamo danes. [ENG]: The Digital R400Z is a storage expansion unit engineered for integration with VAX 4000 computer systems, enabling the connection of various storage devices, including hard and tape drives. The main computer housing the CPU was comparable in size and featured a similar enclosure design. The VAX 4000 series, part of Digital Equipment Corporation's (DEC) VAX family, represented a line of supercomputers introduced during the late 1980s and early 1990s. These systems were specifically designed for professional and industrial applications, delivering powerful computing capabilities to organizations requiring reliable performance for large-scale operations. Unlike the smaller, personal computers common in households during the same period, the VAX 4000 and similar computers were built for significantly more demanding tasks in professional environments. While home computers of the era were primarily utilized for activities such as word processing, gaming, and basic programming, systems like the VAX 4000 were intended for complex operations in universities, corporations, and research centers. Despite the trend toward miniaturization in the 1980s, large-scale computing systems remained prevalent in these professional settings. Home computers, though revolutionary in their accessibility, were vastly less powerful than the older, room-sized machines of the 1960s and 1970s. The advent of personal computing brought technology to the desktop, but these systems were limited in capability, catering primarily to individual users' needs. Meanwhile, professional computers, essential to large businesses, remained sizable, with processors shrinking but storage solutions, including magnetic tapes, still occupying substantial space. As the demand for servers grew, similar large-scale machines continued to be deployed, far exceeding the compact systems envisioned today.
