VAX/VMS (sometimes referred to as OpenVMS) is turning 40 this year! It’s amazing to think that an operating system can “live” that long. Forty years, however, doesn’t mean “over the hill” for this operating system. Many businesses and IT departments still prefer the VAX/VMS operating system and software for a variety of reasons and features that are advantageous to both the business on the front end and the support team on the back end.
The newest iteration of this classic operating system runs on HPE Itanium processors. Businesses like that VAX/VMS offers integrated networking, “clustering” (the ability for multiple machines to access the same files/database even if they are in different locations), support for multiple computer languages in addition to an extensible shell command language, as well as more customizable security features. It’s also known for excellent uptimes, sometimes reporting uptimes upwards of 10 years. This makes the operating system ideal for companies that need access to a large database nearly ’round the clock.
The attractive features of VAX/VMS for the business continuity are what have kept this operating system a competitor in the market for 40 years. The great features give the programmer and, ultimately, the business, a finer level of control over their computer system and network. These features, however, mean the VAX/VMS operating system is not quite as simplistic as, say, UNIX or LINUX. Having professional VAX/VMS software support is vital to maintaining those years-long uptimes and heightened security features. Issues with software can uproot your whole business with serious and lengthy downtimes, and downtime often means a disruption in workflow and, sometimes, even profit flow.
