OpenVMS or Tru64 directly on X86 computer, Virtual Machine or Cloud.
By creating the exact Alpha hardware environment as the original system, vtAlpha allows to run all OpenVMS or Tru64 software without changes on a modern compute platform. The Operating System does not change, the applications do not change, nor does the database technology that is used or the procedures that have been put in place. Upgrade to newer hardware without changing your existing applications!
Six vtAlpha variants are available to cover the whole range of Alpha systems that were manufactured during its life-time.
vtAlpha-AS (Alpha Start) and vtAlpha-BS (Basic Systems) are designed to replace single CPU AlphaServer or AlphaStation systems. vtAlpha-AS is the entry-level product meant to replace the earliest Alpha workstations and servers that were equipped the first generation Alpha processors. vtAlpha-AS runs less fast than vtAlpha-BS and offers less PCI-slots, much like the original systems. The other vtAlpha products can replace multi-CPU AlphaServers, each having a different (virtual) backplane to meet the requirements of the systems in each group.
