3.0 Sue's Fav's 3.1 Blades web cast archiveThis month we had an excellent turn out at the VMS Blades web cast and hope to see more folks at the UX web cast.

From what I have also heard Laura Chappell is giving a  number of talks  in the security and Networking tracks which will be excellent.  Laura is really amazing in both topics and if you are at HPTF please make time to go to her sessions.  Please also go to the VMS SIG so you can support community.

I wanted to make a quick clarification about the SPD websites, just in case you get questions about it.   The page you cite below http://h30266.www3.hp.com/OSDocumentation.shtml is an HP-sponsored site maintained by Ajilon, the people who create our layered products library distributions.  It replicates much of the SPD info that can be found on HP's official doc site http://docs.hp.com which is where people can find OpenVMS and layered product SPDs.  I'd recommend http://docs.hp.com/index.html#openvms as the primary OpenVMS SPD source and http://h30266.www3.hp.com/OSDocumentation.shtml  as the secondary source.

Virtual VAX & Alpha Emulator Base Port to Integrity

Last week ably assisted by the OpenVMS guru's at HP's porting center in Marlboro, MA, Migration Specialties successfully ported the Virtualization Layer and base Alpha CPU components to OpenVMS running on Integrity. Some interesting issues regarding C++ compiler behavior and p-threads were encountered and overcome during four days of porting and testing. Development is now proceeding in parallel on OpenVMS and Windows.Mr. Bruce Claremont, Software Preservationist

4.5 Migration Specialties Virtual VAX & Alpha Emulator Development
 
March 3, 2009

Migration Specialties is pleased to announce we have reached a key project milestone ahead of schedule. We have completed development of the emulator environment Virtualization Layer, or VL.

The VL supports everything not directly related to the bits, bytes and registers of the emulated hardware. The VL achieves this in a number of ways: 

ŕ2C7 Hiding the differing characteristics of host operating systems and hardware platforms from the rest of the emulator. This allows the same code to run on OpenVMS and Windows without having to bother about different ways to do threading or hardware access.

ŕ2C7 Integrating emulator components that deal with user or host machine interaction. For example, VL communications ports provide the ability to communicate through a telnet session or a physical serial port. This way, this functionality can be shared by any emulated communications port without requiring additional effort, simplifying the emulation environment and providing a more consistent user experience.

ŕ2C7 Providing a flexible network infrastructure for emulated network cards.

ŕ2C7 Integrating a sophisticated control program that allows a single instance of the emulator to support multiple virtual machines. These machines can be of the same or differing types.

ŕ2C7 Providing an extremely flexible method to define hardware configurations in a hierarchical manner, allowing every hardware component to be fully configurable.

Development is now focused on a core Alpha processor that will allow us to generate different emulated Alpha processors (e.g. EV4, EV5) to support different Alpha platforms.

Stromasysâ019 pre-tax sales revenues experienced a significant increase, with growth of 30% over fiscal year 2007. Despite the economic downturn, Stromasysâ019 revenues continue to move steadily upward. CEO and founder, Dr. Robert Boers, explains, â01CClearly, our customers recognize our products offer outstanding value in preserving their strategic VAX and Alpha applications, at an incredibly low cost.â01D According to Jean-Claude Peterschmitt, a Stromasys Board member and former Vice-President of Digital Equipment Corporation, â01CIn this economic crisis, our solutions deploy in a few days at 10% of the cost of a traditional migration, and should attract the attention of every CFO intent on efficiently implementing high performance solutions.â01D The company is enjoying phenomenal interest in its innovative cross-platform virtualization solutions. Stromasys virtualization solutions, CHARON-VAX and CHARON-AXP, replace legacy hardware systems, such as the VAX and Alpha, with modern, industry-standard systems. While replacing the hardware, the original operating system, layered software, and applications continue to run without modification, so companies can continue to manage their day-to-day business with the valuable operating system and applications they rely on. CHARON software products offer many benefits in addition to the substantial impact on customersâ019 bottom lines. At a time when economic and environmental concerns are paramount, using CHARON software reduces cost of ownership, maintenance fees, energy consumption, and the space required for the datacenter overall. Using CHARON products also allows customers to keep their existing business practices, as no re-training of staff is required. After success in 2007 and early 2008, Stromasys expanded its operations internationally by opening three new Sales and Support subsidiaries in the U.S.A. (North Carolina), Hong Kong, and the Netherlands. Stromasys also expanded its Engineering facilities in Shenzhen, China.
