NuVAX Benefits

• Seamless transition
• No software migration or re-engineering
• Lower operating costs
• Retire old, hard-to-maintain disks and tapes
• Improve hardware reliability
• Negligible user re-training
• Retain existing real-time applications
• Retain specialized I/O interfaces and expensive
  process control, data acquisition, or telemetry
  equipment

NuVAX Performance

• Increase performance and productivity
• compared to the 3VUPS of a MicroVAX 3600
• NuVAX 1000 runs at 18 VUPS
• NuVAX 2000 runs at 18 VUPS
• NuVAX 3200 runs at 24 VUPS

NuVAX 1000
NuVAX 1000 is a VAX on a Board

• Replaces VAX processor, memory, disks and tape
  drives in the VAX chassis.
• Applications are transferred onto NuVAXs hard
  drive and run without modification with VAX
  emulation software.
• Existing specialized Qbus controllers and
  equipment are supported without any configuration
  changes.

Configuration Form
Use of Configuration Form

• Document your existing system for migration
  purposes.
• Document migration plan.
• Document acceptance and verification process.

Configuration Form
Document Existing System
Use pull down menus to select module in each slot
Note device address and vector for each module
List any third party controllers
20
Configuration Form
Migration Plan
List the proposed new equipment
21
Configuration Form
Migration Plan
