HPE to Stop Selling VSI OpenVMS Products
As part of its exiting the OpenVMS market, Hewlett Packard Enterprise (HPE) is ending all sales of new VSI products and support effective June 30, 2019. According to Hewlett Packard Enterprise, this decision was made in recognition of the execution capabilities that VSI has achieved to assure long term satisfaction for customers and partners.
