Understand the risks of relying on aging classic software, like hardware age and OpenVMS end of support. Learn how to mitigate risks through redesigning functionality, exploring hardware alternatives, and considering new OpenVMS versions. Explore options like Munis, EFP, and human resource surveys to determine your path forward amidst limitations and challenges in the software landscape.
E N D
Classic Software Risks • Hardware Age • OpenVMS End of Support • SSDT Limitations • Redesign Functionality
Hardware Age • Classic Servers in some cases 15 to 30 years old • Replacement parts are rarely new • Replacement parts will become increasing difficult to source
OpenVMS End of Support • December 31, 2020 – Not Fiscal Year End • HP Decision – November 2016 • This date is not changing
SSDT Limitations • Limitations on simultaneous migrations • Limitations on software development
Risk Mitigation • Alternatives hardware • “New” version of OpenVMS • State Software Use/License Fee • Determine Your Path • Redesign, Munis, EFP
