Finding VMS People
A service of Quayle Consulting Inc., active
in the VMS industry.
From the VMS
FAQ:
What is the
difference between VMS and OpenVMS?
VMS and OpenVMS are two names for the
same operating system.
Originally, the operating system was called VAX-11/VMS; it changed to
VAX/VMS at around VAX/VMS V2.0.
When the VMS operating system was
ported to the Alpha platform, it was renamed OpenVMS, for both VAX and
Alpha (and for the Itanium Processor Family), in part to signify the
high degree of support for industry standards such as POSIX, which
provides many features of UNIX systems.
People in the field just call it "VMS". Digital Equipment
Corporation (DEC) developed VMS. DEC was bought by Compaq, which
in turn was bought by
Hewlett-Packard. So, HP
now owns VMS.
See the 20th,
25th, and 30th
anniversary celebrations of VMS at the HP
web site.
Where Can I Find Qualified People?
I suggest the following:
- www.openvms.org
- A web site devoted to VMS in all its forms, including job
postings and people seeking jobs.
- LinkedIN group OpenVMS Community (Recruiter Visible)
- comp.os.vms
- Read by most of the VMS people on the planet.
- Email Sujatha Ramani at sujatha-dot-ramani-at-hp-dot-com
- Sujatha has a huge mailing list, and is always willing to
distribute job postings worldwide.
I scan the following sites for references to VAX and VMS. I
expect other VMS people do, too:
Of course, Quayle Consulting Inc. is
available, too!
