Training
Managing Evolution: OpenVMS on Itanium without Compromising Your
Business
Now Available for On-Demand Viewing
Duration: 45 minutes
If you are unable to attend the live event you may still register and
will receive an
e-mail when the on-demand version becomes available.
It's the irony of IT that evolution is both necessary and stressful. One
of the latest evolutionary trends is the migration of OpenVMS
applications from VAX and Alpha to Hewlett-Packard's new Itanium
platform. For OpenVMS customers, this means making the move without
compromising data integrity while maximizing the benefits from current
investments.
This live, interactive eSeminar will help attendees effectively navigate
OpenVMS application migration on VAX and Alpha to the new Itanium
platform. Hewlett-Packard, Computer Associates and PARSEC
professionals
will be on hand to answer your questions about migrating OpenVMS
applications. You'll also take with you new knowledge about technology
management solutions that will help lower risks to your business.
Join Hewlett-Packard's John Egolf, Computer Associates' Prabhakara
Bhat,
and Wayne Sauer, President of PARSEC, an HP and CA partner. Our
panel of
experts will discuss:
The Road to Itanium
Integrity Servers and the HP FastTrack program
Managing OpenVMS from OpenVMS
Managing OpenVMS in multi-platform enterprises
Planning considerations, solutions and services to ease migration
Featured Speakers
Vic Ahmed, CEO - PARSEC Group
Prabhakara Bhat, Product Manager - Computer Associates International,
Inc.
John Egolf, Program Manager - Hewlett-Packard Co.
Frank Derfler, VP, Market Experts Group - Ziff Davis Media

IT staff shortage looming

OpenVMS System Administrator Position
Banner Health is a very large, non-profit, Healthcare provider,
based in Phoenix, AZ. The company currently has ~22,000 employees,
supporting ~4000 beds, in 50+ facilities, across 7 States.
With the exception of our Alaska facilities, all of our facilities will
eventually be hosted from common data center(s) in Phoenix, and this
process is ~50% complete.
Currently we are supporting two Clinical Applications, both
from
Cerner Corporation. The Cerner "Classic" application (currently being
phased out) is hosted on a CI cluster of GS140's with "Digital"
Storageworks (HSJ50 controllers). The Cerner "Millennium" application
(currently being rolled out across the Enterprise) is hosted on an NI
Cluster, comprised of GS1280's, with some ES40's. The storage for this
cluster is HP Fibre-channel SAN with HP Storageworks (HSG80's) and
EVA5000 Storage sub-systems. Separate Environments exist for testing
and certification.
This is a very exciting time to be working at Banner since, in
addition to the Millennium Application rollout (~60% complete), we are
in the process of building a "Disaster Tolerant" Production system which
will incorporate all the great features of OpenVMS to create a Wide Area
Cluster spanning 2 data centers, with the ultimate goal of "zero"
downtime.
We are seeking a highly experienced OpenVMS Administrator to join our
team. The successful candidate should be self motivated, and
committed to process improvement. He/She will be expected to "hit
the
ground running", quickly familiarize themselves with our environments,
and be able to contribute to the discussion and implementation of our
OpenVMS projects. Finally, as with many other industries, Healthcare
is very sensitive to down-time, therefore the successful candidate will
be required to have a very strong awareness of the criticality of
application availability, and must be committed to Customer Service
The prime requirements include in-depth knowledge and wide
experience
with:
1. The OpenVMS Operating System and layered products, and
also
OpenVMS Clustering technology in particular, CI and NI based clusters.
2. All aspects of OpenVMS System Administration.
3. Digital/Compaq/HP hardware including ES and GS Series
Alphaservers, and CI and SAN based Storage (HSJ, HSG and EVA
storage
subsystems) and infrastructure.
4. OpenVMS Performance Monitoring/Tuning, and Capacity
Planning.
5. Good DCL scripting skills.
6. Network Hardware and software (including DECNet Phase IV,
and
Phase V) and TCPIP Software (we currently use TCPIP Services for
OpenVMS)
The following secondary skills would also be highly advantageous;
1. Experience supporting Cerner Millennium and Oracle on
OpenVMS
Platform.
2. Experience with Foreign Systems interfaces.
3. Positive and analytic approach to problem analysis and
resolution. i.e. "get the systems up."
4. Strong project management skills. Able to work with
professional and technical staff to manage large projects with on-time
delivery.
5. Strong verbal, analytic and writing skills on both technical and
non-technical matters.
Banner Health is a multi-platform shop, including AS400, zOS, AIX,
SOLARIS, Red Hat Linux, OpenVMS, and Microsoft Windows.
Experience
in any of these other areas would also be considered advantageous.
If you are interested in applying for this position or you know anyone
that may be qualified, please e-mail resumes to me at
dave.baxter at bannerhealth.com , by 31st August 2005.

Press Release from Advanced Systems Concepts

Advanced Systems Concepts, Inc. Announces RemoteSHADOW(r)
Support For HP
Integrity OpenVMS Servers
For Enterprises Choosing HP's Most Popular Server Line for Their
OpenVMS
Applications, ASCI Assures Continued Reliable Data Replication
PARSIPPANY, NJ - (16 August 2005) - Advanced Systems Concepts, Inc.
(ASCI), a leading provider of system software solutions that enhance
Windows(r), UNIX, Linux and OpenVMS systems, announced today that
a new
version of RemoteSHADOW(r), ASCI's internationally-used data
replication
product, has been released for use on HP Integrity servers running
OpenVMS. Support for this popular hardware/OS platform gives
RemoteSHADOW-and its large complement of multi-national corporate
and
institutional users-a greater ability to leverage the most current
server technology while also retaining the industry's most assured
method for maintaining data accessibility in the event of a system or
site failure.
HP's announcement earlier this year of OpenVMS v8.2 support for HP
Integrity rx4640-8, rx2620-2, and rx1620-2 servers, as well as
AlphaServer systems, demonstrated that company's continued
commitment to
the OpenVMS OS. HP anticipates OpenVMS to be available for the full
line
of Integrity servers, including the HP Superdome Server, by the first
half of 2006.
"Like HP, Advanced Systems Concepts believes in helping its customers
stay current in OpenVMS-based systems," said Jim Manias, Vice
President
of Marketing and Sales at Advanced Systems Concepts, Inc. "Our new
support for HP Integrity servers enables enterprises-especially those
companies using OpenVMS to execute their most mission-critical
business
services-to continually modernize their architecture and reduce the time
to recovery in the event of a system or site failure without the risk of
losing data due to technological, human, or natural occurrences."
RemoteSHADOW offers businesses an easy to implement,
application-transparent method for ensuring that essential data is
continuously protected, updated and available in case of a local
production site failure. The software replicates data to a captive,
enterprise-operated remote site, or facility-managed site of the
company's choice, according to rules set by the enterprise. With
RemoteSHADOW, the organization can begin processing within minutes
of a
failure.
Unlike conventional backup/restore solutions, RemoteSHADOW
maximizes
performance while minimizing operational costs and system usage
through
a choice of two data transmission strategies-synchronous or
asynchronous. With synchronous transfer, data is written at the
production and remote facility immediately. Synchronous transfer is both
the most real-time, and the most bandwidth-intensive, alternative for
critical data replication.

For
Microsoft 64-Bit
Operating Systems-Page 2
For deployments where bandwidth cost takes precedence over real-
time
needs, RemoteSHADOW
can also write data to the secondary location using asynchronous
transfer. This mode, while always attempting to stay fully synchronized
with the production system, applies I/O at the local side when peak
periods-either expected or unexpected-occur, sending the data in
time-ordered sequence to the remote side over the bandwidth that is
available. These I/Os are written within a latency period, measured in
seconds, that the business can tolerate, thereby saving the enterprise
from purchasing extra bandwidth to accommodate peak load times.
In addition to OpenVMS, RemoteSHADOW supports Tru64 Unix as well
as Sun
Microsystems Solaris systems. To register for a free evaluation copy of
RemoteSHADOW on OpenVMS for HP Integrity products, log on to
