NEW CROSS-TRADE PRICING
FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
HYDRA SYSTEMS ANNOUNCES NEW CROSS-TRADE PRICING
HYDRA SYSTEMS (Lake Forest, CA) added two, new cross-trade options for its existing customers. This offering recognizes loyal customers with an affordable advantage for moving into the power and flexibility of JDS’ latest product line, the HYDRA NET System, while allowing them to preserve an investment in previous JDS products.
At the core of the HYDRA NET system is the HYDRA 3000 advanced technology communications control unit. Innovative in its modular design, the HYDRA 3000 offers a variety of interface modules to accommodate flexible configurations and future expansion.
JDS recognizes that as customers upgrade and expand their enterprise system networks, they will increasingly need more advanced features not found in previous JDS products, but which are now in the HYDRA 3000:
=> Simultaneous non-SNA / SNA operation
=> Support for newer generation ESA operating systems
=> Multiple CPU connection & operation
=> Operation on both Block and Byte channels.
=> Automatic modem configuration and initialization
=> Full "hardware" flow control support (RTS/CTS)
=> Multiple screen sizing (including 27x132 support)
=> Extended Attribute support
=> HYDRA-LINK built-in Wide Area Network capability
=> Data-Routing built-in resource pooling feature
=> Local Area Network accessibility
=> Significant performance increase in all local and remote operations
There has never been a better time for existing HYDRA-II and HYDRA-SNA customers to trade up to the powerfully superior HYDRA 3000 platform.
=========================
CROSS-TRADE OPTIONS
=========================
1. CHASSIS-FOR-CHASSIS OPTION
Customer trades one old HYDRA II or HYDRA SNA for one new HYDRA 3000 of equal or greater ASCII ports, and receives the following allowance:
4-port - $1,250
8-port - $1,450
16-port - $1,650
24-port - $1,750
32-port - $1,850
2. PORT-FOR-PORT OPTION
Customer trades any combination of their old HYDRA ports for any combination of HYDRA 3000 ASCII ports. Total new ports must equal or exceed traded old ports. Allowance: $40.00 per ASCII port.
Suppose you wanted to upgrade your existing HYDRA-II 4-port unit to accomodate 16 ports... Depending on the unit's age, your costs would range between $6,000 to $7,500 with the same functionality.
Trade this unit in for a new 16 port HYDRA 3000 and your cost would balance out to a comparable $9,500 while adding a whole new wealth of features and performance!
====================================
FREE 30 DAY TRIAL
====================================
HYDRA customers can experience the power of HYDRA 3000 by requesting a free, 30 day trial. The customer pays only shipping both ways, and is liable for damages beyond reasonable wear-and-tear.
