Southborough, Massachusetts-based Data General Corp’s Clariion RAID disk array unit says it is now shipping 4,000-plus storage units a quarter. It adds that 70% of its third-party Open Clariion sales are to OEM customers, and the rest goes through distributors and private labelling concerns. Some 15% of its business is to its AViiON server customers. The unit says its low-end C150 offering is a tactical product and that the majority of installations are in the 80Gb to 400Gb range. In hand are new performance marks, Fibre Channel technologies, and techniques to support NUMA Non-Uniform Memory Architecture and other clustering mechanisms. Clariion sales amounted to $170m in Data General’s 1995 fiscal year to September 30.
