Thanks for the info. Question about...

"OpenVMS and NonStop (NSK) do not compete. Entirely different products and markets."

Outside legacy market, I thought they both advertised as being for business-critical systems that can't afford downtime. I remembered plenty of HP advertisements on that for OpenVMS & its clustering. NonStop obviously does that stuff with even better availability due to FT HW/SW. What makes you say they don't compete?

Note: I'm not talking about the five 9's, HW-supported stuff that OpenVMS probably can't touch.
