It seems like there is new hope for those organizations still running OpenVMS, after HP recently announced a partnership with a company called VMS Software Inc. (or VSI). There is now talk of adding support for Intel’s Itanium “Poulson” chips by early 2015, as well as the upcoming “Kittson” chip. There is talk of new versions of OpenVMS, and even mention of a possible port of OpenVMS to the x86 platform.
