SANTA CLARA, Calif.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Dec. 14, 1995--Hitachi Data Systems (HDS) today announced that its industry-leading Skyline Series mainframe processors have won formal recognition by InformationWeek magazine as one of "The Most Important Products of 1995."
InformationWeek notes in its December 18 issue that "Model 82, Hitachi's high-end, eight-way mainframe, delivers 780 MIPS (millions of instructions per second), a 70% capacity increase over IBM's 9021-9X2. And it needs less than 40% of the space and less than 45% of the electrical power."
Introduced on April 10, 1995, Skyline ranks as the world's fastest commercial mainframe with each uniprocessor running at 124 MIPS. Sales have been so brisk since shipments began in November that the available supply is tight well into 1996.
