Dear Distribution Lists,

This morning at 11:30 am HP officially announced OpenVMS V8.2 on Integrity Servers. This significant achievement is the result of three years of dedicated engineering efforts by some of the best engineers in the business. Once again OpenVMS has done the so called impossible and continues its legend of design superiority and elegance.

The following is from the HP OpenVMS Home page.

Warm Regards,
Sue

HP OpenVMS v8.2 is a new release for both HP Integrity servers and AlphaServer systems. This new OpenVMS version enhances its key properties of security, scalability, availability, performance, and interoperability with UNIX. The ability to deploy various generations of AlphaServer technology while incorporating Integrity servers offers bottom-line investment protection.

The combination of HP Integrity servers and AlphaServer systems can enhance your computing environments by capitalizing on the economies of an industry-standard architecture while adding value through HP innovation.

You now have the choice of staying with the AlphaServer platform for years to come, or moving to Integrity servers. Your application investments are protected because the vast majority of Alpha-based OpenVMS applications need only be recompiled, relinked, and tested in order to run on Integrity servers. Moreover, mixed architecture clusters of HP Integrity servers and AlphaServer systems is fully supported, promoting the incorporation of Integrity servers into an OpenVMS environment when you determine it should be done.

OpenVMS v8.2 is now available for HP Integrity rx4640-8, rx2620-2, and rx1620-2 servers as well as for the entire family of AlphaServer systems. OpenVMS will be available on the full line of entry-level, mid-range, and high-end Integrity servers, including the HP Superdome Server, by the first half of 2006.
