pdp(s) in brazil (picture)

Subject: Re: pdp(s) in brazil (picture) In my humble opinion, it must be parted in 5 2-rack kits, and distribuited among brazilian USERS. This is something VERY VERY VERY RARE in Brazil, there is no why to keep a system this size locked behind a glass wall. <<<< and its backup (3 racks each) and the four to the right are probably 3 identical ?process control? (non-general purpoe) setups. Thus it will probably not realistically make 5x2 rack systems. The difference between the two left-hand systems is probably something to do with the switchover - in the picture the right hand one of the two is "live". The third rack from the right is the enigma in terms of configuration - It must be shared peripherals for the three single-rack processors but how it is switched between them is not fully clear other than that the top panel on this rack at least indicates the status and might do the switching. Are the row of grey cabinets (whatever they are) to the right part of the complete system and what about the mid-height communications cabinet (3 modems at the bottom?) between the 11s and the grey stuff? Pity that fish-eye lens (or, perhaps, the digitising) has lost focus or resolution or both. Andy
