VAX 8550 with a DEC Professional console. The VAX 8000 is a discontinued family of superminicomputers developed and manufactured by Digital Equipment Corporation (DEC) using processors implementing the VAX instruction set architecture (ISA). The 8000 series was introduced in October 1984 with the 8600, taking over the high-end of the VAX lineup.

generation VAX systems include the VAX 8800, VAX 8700, VAX 8650, VAX 8600, VAX 8550, VAX 8500, VAX 8300, VAX 8200, and MicroVAX II systems. These systems expand users' choices and represent dramatic improvements in price and performance. All use the same VMS operating system - giving users access to more than 3,000 applications programs.

The VAX 8550 is intended as a high-performance companion to the general-purpose VAX 8500, for use in computation-and resource-intensive applications, such as office information systems, MIS, realtime and data

Between 1977 and 2000, Digital Equipment Corporation (DEC) produced a wide range of computer systems under the VAX brand, all based on various implementations of the DEC-proprietary instruction set architecture of the same name.

The VAX 8800 family (models 8800, 8700, 8550), currently the fastest computers in the VAX product line, achieve their speed through a combination of fast cycle time and deep pipelining. Rather than pipeline highly variable VAX instructions as such, the 8800 design pipelines uniform microinstructions whose addresses are generated by instruction ...

The VAX sccurit y kernel is a virtual-machine monitor that runs on the VAX 8530, 8550, 8700, 8800, and 8810 processors. 1 It crest es isolated virtual VAX processors, each of which can run either the VMS or ULTR.IX–32 operat-ing systcm. If desired, virtual machines running each of thc operating systems can run simultaneously on the same com-
