In order to have a complete on-line clinical and medical record system, we need 24 x 7 availability. The redundant processing capabilities of our clustered AlphaServer systems, boosted by the failover capabilities of our OpenVMS Galaxy operating system, gives us the absolute maximum in uptime. And that was the key to our decision, said Kimball. Yet there is more. A lot more.
Flexibility is the cornerstone of our new system.
Bob Cormier, assistant director, information systems agrees by saying, We are looking forward to setting up multiple partitions with our new AlphaServer GS systems, possibly migrating additional applications to the boxes. Roland Bourre, Senior Systems Programmer at EMMC adds, The performance numbers are looking really good during our migration. The new AlphaServer GS systems have no problem processing our transactions they cruise right through. Faulkingham continues, We have more than 20 years of OpenVMS operating system experience, and it is a very stable operating system. But another key to our decision was the support we receive from the Compaq Field Engineering Team.
