Digital VMS White Papers

Enterprise Server Consolidation in the OpenVMS Environment

Overview This paper details a variety of consolidation methods. For example, all applications can be moved to a more powerful machine (faster, more memory, more storage) running on a single OpenVMS operating system instance on that large machine or a cluster. For the high-end AlphaServer GS-Series, it is possible to use Compaq’s OpenVMS Galaxy software to set up multiple OpenVMS instances in partitions in either a single AlphaServer or AlphaServer cluster. The cluster architecture provides availability, scalability, and other advantages and, along with the Galaxy software provides major OpenVMS differentiators compared to other vendor offerings.
