Digital Equipment Corp plans to offer a server for delivering video-on-demand and other interactive services for the proposed US West Inc trial of a full-service network in 1994: DEC said it developed the new server specifically to meet the requirements of an all-digital broadband network infrastructure and it will have the capabilities to provide a wide range of interactive services such as movies, video games, home shopping, education, information and anything else anyone can think of pushing down a broadband telecommunications cable; the server uses Alpha RISCs, disk arrays developed by StorageWorks Inc, and Digital Linear Tape library subsystems; DEC will work in partnership with 3DO Co on the Omaha, Nebraska trial – 3DO is doing interactive technology for video-on-demand and other programming.
