         Today's storage environment: gigabytes of storage, distributed
         across the network. How does an IS manager _centralize_ storage
         management but retain the _distributed_ data storage attributes
         that users want?

         Technology is the answer! With GIGAswitch/FDDI and FDDI Storage
         Servers, VMSclusters can be expanded beyond the 32 CI node maximum,
         and beyond the storage "glass tower" to 96 nodes, 40 Km between
         nodes, with fault tolerant disaster recovery.

         This 25 minute Networked Connected Storage video highlights:
                o FDDI Storage Servers
                o GIGAswitch/FDDI as an I/O subsystem
                o Results: A manageable storage environment

         KEY WORDS: GIGAswitch/FDDI, FDDI, StorageWorks, VMScluster, CI,
         networks, switched, storage, server, Alpha, client/server
