Geneva,
Switzerland — Stromasys, the experts in migrations, migration
tools and emulators, has been awarded a
new contract by Compaq Computer Corporation
today. Stromasys will design and develop the "Binary
Translator," a tool that will translate
AlphaServer-based OpenVMS binary images
and libraries linked under all versions
of AlphaServer-based OpenVMS from version
6.2 through the current shipping version
to run on OpenVMS on the Itanium Processor
Family-based servers. The tool also will
translate the VESTed images that were already
translated once by DECmigrate from a VAX
binary image to run on OpenVMS on AlphaServer
systems. It is expected to be made available
by Compaq to its customers to migrate their
applications, as well as used by OpenVMS
engineering to migrate code to Itanium Processor
Family-based servers. Its development, a
project of the magnitude of tens of person
years, is expected to be completed in about
18 months.
"We expect to boot OpenVMS
on an Itanium Processor Family™-based
server during the second half of 2002, provide
releases for ISVs, collaborators and early
adopters during 2003, and ship the production
release in the first half of 2004,"
announced Mark Gorham, Vice President of
Compaq's OpenVMS Systems Group.
Ann McQuaid, Compaq's director
of strategic planning for OpenVMS, said
"This effort demonstrates once again
Compaq's commitment to customer satisfaction
as well as to a healthy future for OpenVMS,
and we're pleased to work with outstanding
collaborators such as Stromasys which support
us in achieving this goal."
"This agreement enhances
our relationship with the information technology
leader Compaq Computer Corporation. We are
extremely pleased by the confidence they
put in us", said Dr. Robert Boers,
CEO of Stromasys.
