blowfish posted:Also why is HP actually going to ship anything with new itanium cores in 2017, are there seriously IT departments that transitioned mission-critical poo poo onto Itanium a decade ago and want to keep their dead gay system running on second-rate hardware until the end of time just so they never have to transition it back? a ton of 1990s HP-UX users migrated from HPPA to Itanium because HP forced them to do so. HP end-of-lifed all HPPA products, so it was itanium or nothing migrating off legacy unix can be really hard. especially if you don't really care about the money you pay your vendor. it's much easier to write a fat check than get neck-deep in code archeology

The Management posted:yes. itanium is the new mainframe. companies are stuck on it running their hpux and vms systems on slow, expensive hardware because migrating is basically impossible. hpe sold openvms to a new company, "vms software inc" their main goal is to port openvms to x86 by 2018
