VSI OpenVMS V8.4-2 Field Test Wrapping Up
VSI is wrapping up efforts on the external field test of our latest release, with active participation from 42 testers around the world.
The release, which will officially be called VSI OpenVMS V8.4-2 when it becomes generally available in late March, offers some exciting new features including 64 core support for BL890c i4 systems, inclusion of the latest UEFI 2.3 platform firmware (modernization that was long overdue), and tunable Backup compression. In addition we’ve introduced VSI’s Enterprise Directory 5.7 and updated the Secure Web Server (based on Apache 2.4.12).
As part of this release, we’ll support upgrades to VSI OpenVMS V8.4-2 from HPE versions as far back as HPE v8.3, and will add the Integrity x7640 and x8640 to the list of HPE servers on which customers can run VSI OpenVMS V8.4-2. As with our previous release, we’ve received positive customer feedback about the new features and improvements we’ve made, and we look forward to sharing this new release with our user base.
