Itanium2 "in the news"

[Neil Rieck]

When reading most blogs, one would think that the computing world has been reduced to only x86-64 and ARM. That is why I was surprised to see this recent blurb from HPE promoting Itanium machines

Now I should point out that this advert only promotes HP-UX. Remember that it is the OpenVMS from VSI is the only version of OpenVMS qualified to run multi-core Itanium.

HP is now at the "VMS? OpenVMS? What's that? Never heard of it..." stage. That was only a small change from where they've been for years.

HPE is probably looking to clear some stock for the upcoming end of the
HPE fiscal year, and for the last-order date for I6 later this year.

There's also the new hardware arriving with VSI OpenVMS V8.4-2L3.

HP-UX and the iron are the HPE products here, so that's unsurprising.

Tukwila i2 dual- and quad-core is qualified with the HPE OpenVMS V8.4
UPDATE 5 remaster and later. All Poulson i4 and Kittson i6 require VSI
OpenVMS for support. Hondo here wholly unheeded.
