221.0. "Cray FDDI Connection" by DPDMAI::DAVIES (Mark, SCA Area Network Consultant) Tue Mar 05 1991 10:00

    One of DEC's major Petroleum based companys is installing an FDDI
    backbone done in Houston and using as much DEC gear as possible because
    of quality.
    
    They have the need to connect to a Cray XMP and want to use FDDI, NOT
    HyperChannel.
    
    Anybody know wh��at Crays directions are or who I should contact?
    
    Thanks,

221.1CRAY to FDDI via Network SystemsTOOHOT::RWILSONGoing crazy, want to come along?Wed Mar 06 1991 21:0515
    
    Mark,
    
    We are working with a Petro organization in this area with the same
    issue. They are (have been for several months now) looking at system
    from Network Systems which they claim isn't HyperChannel. It sits
    between the CRAY and FDDI. We are also exploring alternatives since
    they have Digital FDDI products installed. I'll send you any
    information we get our hands on.
    
    Later,
    
    Ray
