OpenVMS is renown for its 99.999% uptime reputation.
OpenVMS availability is measured in years, not weeks or months, as you would expect on other general purpose operating systems.
Demonstrated over time!
WhyremainonOpenVMS?
Highavailability!
18yearshighest recorded uptime without reboot
Europeanrailwaycompany
Security has been architected into the OS from the very beginning
Includes numerous features to restrict and control access to resources.
Proven over time!
WhyremainonOpenVMS?
Security!73xFewer daily security vulnerabilities
2xSecuritylevels
10xLower securitypatch rate
You have years experience with Open VMS.
OpenVMS causes fewer sleepless nights.
This cannot always be measured monetarily.
WhyremainonOpenVMS?
Trust!73xFewer daily security vulnerabilities
2xSecuritylevels
10xLower securitypatch rate

Financial Analysis: VSI OpenVMS is proven to be the right answer!
• TCO with OpenVMS is easily less than 1/3 the cost when compared to Linux
• COSTS of migration off of OpenVMS is really unknown, but likely VERY, VERY COSTLY
• COSTS of data breaches may be even MORE COSTLY
