Questions: 

I don't think that i'm in the good place for my question
I need information on a computer or robot that can 
take 1 terabytes of information at each second?
Digital is suppose to have that kind of computer or robot?
I need the name of that machine.
               
                 I'm not good in english, where can i get that information?

1607.1Exceedingly Specialized Configuration RequiredXDELTA::HOFFMANSteve, OpenVMS EngineeringTue Feb 18 1997 16:0216
   Systems using general-purpose microprocessors with 3+ gigabytes
   per second processor-to-memory transfer speeds would be considered
   to be leading-edge designs.

   A data transfer of one terabyte per second -- one trillion (using
   the American, not the English definition of `trillion') bytes per
   second -- is a prodigious I/O rate, and achieving data rates of
   this magnitude generally require an equally prodigious budget for
   equipment, storage, communications, and processing.

   For assistance, please contact DIGITAL directly for configuration
   assistance -- without knowing additional details specific to this
   application and to this configuration, it is difficult to provide
   constructive comments.
