  • Lots of reasons:

    1). What applications are you running and what OS supports them

    2). How big is your IT staff - what are their management capabilities.

    3). What is your budget

    The demo at VMworld was an SMB configuration. If HP thought every customer wanted OpenVMS, we'd stop selling everything else and focus our efforts there. But that is not what customers are demanding.

    We agree that OpenVMW is a great platform but it doesn't address what every customer wants. Thanks!

  • No, I didn't miss the point. And yes, it's good that the rest of the world is starting to catch up &realize the value of high availability. But if you were really concerned about high availability why would you want to trust your applications to a platform that doesn't deliver? Sure, this takes the VMware platform a little closer, but there are still other issues not yet addressed. If your application truly is mission critical, why not deploy on a platform that can really deliver what you want?

  • I think you're missing the point. This is a VMware demo of storage capabilities. For customers that are using VMware, yes, this is rather unique. We can do similar things with every OS that HP supports with other disk arrays like our EVA and XP. And we've had 5 nine's solutions on HP-UX with the XP Disk Array for over 10 years too. As much as I love OpenVMS, let's face it, it's not the only OS that customers are using.

  • This is exciting or newsworthy? Your customers couldn't do this a year ago? Your customers should consider OpenVMS where we've been delivering this capability (and more) for over a decade!
