OpenVMS support and consulting
HP OpenVMS is a premium, general-purpose, commercial operating environment that delivers high-availability, scalability, security, industry-leading cluster technology, and enhanced flexibility to environments with extremely demanding database and transaction workloads.
One of the key components of OSSACs business is the support of the OpenVMS operating environment. That OpenVMS continues to be popular in its specific markets is testament to its top-level security, high availability, disaster tolerance, scalability, reliability, quality, and low-cost-of-ownership attributes.
The steady evolution of OpenVMS over the last three decades has mirrored—if not foreshadowed—industry trends, business requirements, and government regulations.
