Welcome to VMS Software!

We develop, sell and support the OpenVMS™ operating system.

Our mission is to develop, sell, and support innovative and advanced releases of OpenVMS, the most secure operating system on the planet. We are engaged in this mission with one core motivation: to support and enable our customers in running their mission critical applications at the legendary uptime levels OpenVMS is known for, at maximum performance levels, today and into the future.

Products

We sell and distribute software licenses to new releases of the OpenVMS operating system and layered products associated with that OS. We have released multiple versions of VSI OpenVMS for Intel Itanium-based and DEC Alpha-based servers in both English and Japanese. Our R&D group is hard at work on a release for X86. Further in the future, we are exploring other hardware platforms as well.

Support

We provide all levels of support and maintenance services for VMS Software, Inc.'s own releases of the OpenVMS operating system—our first being a version of OpenVMS for Itanium-series servers, running Intel i4 Poulson processors. We also provide support and maintenance services for versions of OpenVMS that are no longer supported by HP.

Critical Solutions

VSI has redefined how professional services are provided to platform users. Given the particularly tight requirements of our mission critical customers, and the low supply of OpenVMS experts, VSI has teamed up with the best OpenVMS service providers on the platform, worldwide. We will provide the best possible solution, worldwide, for even the most complex customer projects.

SPOTLIGHT: VSI Webinars

VSI presents periodic webinars that started on Feb 22, 2018. VSI senior managers, partners, and users will present the latest VSI OpenVMS updates, business activities, partner offerings, and many more issues that affect the OpenVMS platform. These webinar series are live presentations with recordings and presentations available for download at the conclusion of each webinar episode.
