One of Moscow’s most fickle computer buyers, Aeroflot, has purchased a Tricord Systems Inc Superserver for use at Sheremetievo II international airport. The Russian carrier had a $150m project with IBM Corp but since the agreement fell through seems to have been talking to everyone about hardware. The Tricord is being used for training, Unix development and connecting existing wide area networks. Tricord distributor Hadler International says the machine will be used alongside the IBM mainframe that was installed earlier in 1993.
