PRODUCT DESCRIPTION

The RW500 optical library family provides low cost, highly reliable 
automated access to large quantities of near-online data in both OpenVMS VAX 
and ULTRIX systems. When combined with DEC Optical Storage Management 
Software V1.1, the RW500 family forms a basis for backup, archiving, 
imaging, and other storage management applications. The RW500 family is also 
compatible with Digital's StorageServer 100 product. 

The new members of the RW500 family are based on 1.2 Gbyte multifunction 
optical drives and utilize the 1.2 Gbyte media listed below. They can also 
read and write first generation RW500 media (in 600 Mbyte mode only). 

The benefits you can expect:

o  The lower cost per megabyte improves your return on investment.
o  The wide range of product meets your varying price/capacity requirements.

Management Software SPD 47.46.XX and StorageServer 100 SPD 41.40.XX.
