Gigabit' seems to mean 600 megabits. It's a VAX gigabit.
Along with the hardware and protocols, DEC also introduced the VAXcluster concept, which allowed several VAX machines to be tied together into a single larger storage system.
Alpha, originally known as Alpha AXP, is a 64-bit reduced instruction set computing (RISC) instruction set developed by Digital Equipment Corporation (DEC), designed to replace their 32-bit VAX complex instruction set computer (CISC) instruction set.
As a result, different VAX processors use different microarchitectures, yet the programmer-visible architecture does not change.
By the time of cancellation, however, second-generation RISC chips (such as the newer SPARC architecture) were offering much better price/performance ratios than the VAX lineup.
Cancelled systems Cancelled systems include the "BVAX", a high-end ECL -based VAX, and two other ECL-based VAX models: "Argonaut" and "Raven". citation A VAX known as "Gemini" was also cancelled, which was a fall-back in case the LSI-based Scorpio failed.
