Tárgy: HP Pearl - Oracle Rdb running on a Superdome - ok for External 
use


Dear Distribution lists

I know that many of you are looking forward with great anticipation, as
we are, to the release of Oracle products on OpenVMS on the cell based
systems like HP's Superdome. One of our Partners in the UK (Repton) 
has
a Superdome running OpenVMS, HP-UX, Linux and Windows, the 
following is
from their HP partner site.
	(Please keep in mind that Oracle Rdb is due to be released 
later
this year.  It is currently in field test on Alpha and I64.  It will
require VMS 	V8.2-1 on I64 and V8.2 on Alpha. Customers can 
sign up
for the field test at www.oracle.com/rdb and follow the "beta" links.)

	And you are not mis-reading Giles, Repton did have a 
Superdome
running OpenVMS last year.  This is still not an officially supported
platform for 	OpenVMS (yet 8.2-1).  It is a support platform for 
the
other operating systems.

Warm Regards,
Sue

Repton offers you the chance to use their fully loaded Itanium
Superdome. Based around Intel's 3rd Generation 64bit technology, this
system has been rewriting World benchmark performance records.

What really makes this system different though, is it's ability to run 4
operating systems concurrently, Windows, LINUX, OpenVMS and HP-UX.
Offering unrivalled flexibility and making these systems a natural
choice for consolidation now and scaling with a business in the future.

By arrangements with most leading software vendors the configuration 
can
be tailored to suit most requirements, ensuring that your time spent on
site will be as effective as possible.

Hi Sue

Just a bit of information for you, we met at the Barbican in London last
year and we discussed that we had VMS on our Integrity Superdome, 
we now
have Oracle RDB running successfully as well as of last week, it can be
seen on the site below You know that we have all the other 3 operating
systems running as well but VMS is our main driving force, the heritage
to the company and who we deal with predominantly.
