OpenVMS on x86

VMS Software, Inc. has ported OpenVMS to x86.

Reliability

Reliability has been the strong suit of OpenVMS for over 40 years. There are still VAX systems in the field running VMS being used to control company operations. A true testament to the OS’s dependability.

Availability

Traditionally, OpenVMS has operated with 99.999% uptime, the highest availability measurement awarded to computing systems. There is anecdotal evidence that uptime is measured in years for OpenVMS systems (in one case 28 years).

Serviceability

OpenVMS with its plethora of management tools and the ability to carry out rolling upgrades is the epitome of a serviceable operating system.

Who is VMS Software?
