Jim McCakl Product
Marketing Manager, DSD, sent to the
worldwide comouter sales force (SRs
& SEs) in mid August, outlined the
following new capabilities to the HP
1000 family that will increase our
lead over DEC for distributed compu.ter applications.

HP adds the L-Series computer to
the DS/1000 network and a
modem link to the HP 3000!
HP beats DEC in easy to use multicomputer family networks!
(1000-3000-250)
HP adds industry standard HDLC
protocol and microprocessor
based link I/O cards to DS/1000.
This improves network performance by 100%and gives us u p to
a 2 to 1 performance advantage
over DECNET! It also reduces CPlJ
overhead for DS nodes by u p to
100%.
A definite advantage over DECNET -

microprocessor-based interface products. The intelligent interfaces significantly off-load much of the communications overhead fiDm the CPU,
The
is backkvau.ds cornpatible with the present DSi1000 and offers your existing customers a smooth
upgrade path with no need to change
their application programs. Moreover,
the new software can operate with
either the new microprocessor interfaces or the existing now-intelligent
communication cards. Both the-new
DS/1000-IV software and the existing
DS/1000 software can c:o-exist in the
same network.

Field Training Manuals.
HP is a leading supplier of networking
products. Now this new fourth generation product, DS/1000-IV, will give
you the opportunity to make a quantum leap in sales.
A unique product. DEC doesn't have
it. IBM just announced two years after
we had it!
