PDP-11 • • Sold by DEC between 1970 and 1997 First real time process control computer in the industry sold in large quantities Several bus structures: UNIbus, Qbus, Massbus Cloned several times in the Eastern Block countries • Several operating systems by DEC and others: • RSX-11: Real time process control OS with preemptive task scheduling • If somebody is still using a PDP-11 today, it is because he could not migrate he is in great difficulties – – – SM-4, SM-1420, SM-1600, Elektronika BK-0010, DVK, UKNC (Soviet Union) SM-4, SM-1420, IZOT-1016 (Bulgaria) SM-1420 (East Germany) Mera (Poland) SM-4 (Hungary) I-102 (Romenia) – DOS/BATCH, IAS, P/OS, CAPS-11, RT-11, RSX-11, RSTS/E, Ultrix-11 – ANDOS, MKDOS, MONECS, CSIDOS, TRIPOS, MUMPS, Unix V 7, BSD, DEMOS (Soviet Union), TSX-Plus, Rumor (ABB) Copyright 2001 -2011 Stromasys SA 30 -61 -023 -10 p 6

VAX, a legend • • • Introduced at October 25 th, 1977 Together with Virtual Memory System VMS or Open. VMS First commercially available 32 bit computer First installations in Carnegie Mellon University and CERN Made DEC the #2 computer manufacturer worldwide by 1982 Nightmare of any other computer manufacturer between 1980 - 90 Shipped over 500, 000 times worldwide USA Do. D prohibited export into Eastern Block Cloned several times An entirely compatible family of computers with 100 s of models Sold until 2000 The operating system Open. VMS has outlived its host platform Copyright 2001 -2011 Stromasys SA 30 -61 -023 -10 p 7

Alpha AXP • Introduced in 1992, end of life in 2007 • 64 -bit RISC processor • Open. VMS, Tru 64 UNIX, Windows NT • Gentoo Linux, Debian GNU/Linux, Slackware, Red Hat, Berkeley Software Distribution Net. BSD, Open. BSD, Free. BSD • Very large user community Copyright 2001 -2011 Stromasys SA 30 -61 -023 -10 p 8

DEC users, what now? • Binary translation • Native migration • Virtualization Copyright 2001 -2011 Stromasys SA 30 -61 -023 -10 p 9

Binary translation • • • From VAX to ALPHA: Using OMSVA From ALPHA to Itanium: Using OMSAI Both delivered by Stromasys to HP, freeware Fastest and most inexpensive solution Does not need the source code However, some serious limitations apply, such as the availability of older languages on the target platform VMS only User-mode applications, only Does not allow for future enhancements on target platform VAX to Itanium needs two steps Will impact performance Not all applications are binary translatable Copyright 2001 -2011 Stromasys SA 30 -61 -023 -10 p 10

Native migration to a new platform • Produces native application on the target platform • Almost every application can be migrated • Partial redesign during migration allows for replacing the programming language, middleware, user interface and design • Further development and maintenance on target platform • May give a performance boost • However, will take long to implement • Presents serious risks (time, functionality, QA, re-certification) • Source code needed Copyright 2001 -2011 Stromasys SA 30 -61 -023 -10 p 11

HW virtualization, the principle Applications Layered software No changes VAX/Alpha OS CHARON-VAX or -AXP VAX/Alpha hardware platform Hardware Replaced! Operating System Host computer Copyright 2001 -2011 Stromasys SA 30 -61 -023 -10 p 12

Virtualization • • • Does not need the source code Replaces old HW by modern HW No significant migration efforts. Upgrades immediately, quickly, simply Inexpensive No risk Reduces computer footprint, energy consumption and cooling significantly • Preserves current investments – Keeps current applications – Keeps current business processes, no impact on day-to-day operations – No re-training, no re-staffing, no re-certification • Increases performance Copyright 2001 -2011 Stromasys SA 30 -61 -023 -10 p 14

Virtual systems with VMware ESX (same platform virtualization) Same system architecture VM VM Same system architecture In this environment, the Virtual Machines have the same architecture and instruction set as the hardware host system Virtual legacy systems with CHARON (cross-platform virtualization) Applications Layered Software In this environment, the Virtual Machines have a (very) different architecture and instruction set from the host.

CHARON on VMware ESXi • Why two virtualization layers? – Market requirement for VMware support – May help fulfilling some corporate data center policy requirements – Allows mixing Windows or Linux CHARON with other operating systems on the same multi-core host • However, there is a performance price • Restrictions apply with v. Motion • If non of the above is required, then please use the multi -instance license feature of CHARON ! Copyright 2001 -2011 Stromasys SA 30 -61 -023 -10 p 31

VMS clustering • NI clusters – Always possible, mixed or pure • Shared Disk Clustering, prerequisites – Ethernet connection for the Lock Manager traffic – Concurrent accessibility of the storage device – Identical device designation for the storage device in all nodes Copyright 2001 -2011 Stromasys SA 30 -61 -023 -10 p 32

Tru 64 clustering • Tru 64 V 4. X and V 5. X – Ethernet connection – Concurrent access of shared SCSI disks • Tru 64 V 4. X – Production Server (Memory Channel) Clusters currently not supported • Tru 64 V 5. X – Shared SCSI disks must have identical WWIDs on all nodes – Memory Channel Interconnect must be replaced with Ethernet Interconnect, which requires V 5. 1 A Copyright 2001 -2011 Stromasys SA 30 -61 -023 -10 p 33

Why virtualization • Hardware is end-of-life • Service costs have increased significantly • Operational costs (e. g. energy consumption, footprint) are excessive • Application rewriting and re-certification may be expensive & risky • Experts and/or application source code not always available • Automatic binary conversion to Open. VMS/IPF does not always work • Market expects modern platforms • Higher performance needs • Tru 64 Unix Copyright 2001 -2011 Stromasys SA 30 -61 -023 -10 p 34

Benefits • Replace old and expensive HW by modern HW • Significantly reduce cost of ownership • Preserve current investments – Keep current applications – Keep current business processes, no impact on day-to day operations – No re-training, no re-staffing, no re-certification • Extend on new platforms, create room for future growth • Become HW independent • Increase performance • Scalable size and licensing conditions in line with client’s needs • Upgrade immediately, quickly, simply • Reduce space needs significantly Copyright 2001 -2011 Stromasys SA 30 -61 -023 -10 p 35
