Court Square and NEMONIX to Present Open/VMS Life Extension and Systems Management Webinar on November 2.

SPRINGFIELD, Mass. -- Court Square Data Group, Inc., an IT consulting and managed services firm with offices throughout the Northeast United States, today announced that it will team with NEMONIX Engineering to present an hour-long Webinar on OpenVMS life extension, systems management and consolidation issues on November 2, at 2:00 p.m. EST. You can register by clicking on www.csdg.com/vms/ or by calling 508-393-7700.

"OpenVMS and its associated systems and software - VAX/VMS, Alpha and Itanium - have long been prized for their high availability and ruggedness," said Court Square CEO Keith Parent. "Many of these systems are used in highly regulated environments," said Parent. "Systems management, maintenance, consolidation and migration projects can be very challenging in these environments," he said. "Court Square has developed a comprehensive methodology, known as Good Systems Practice (GSP), to ensure that such systems can be managed as an everyday part of the business, without failing audits or incurring added costs."

"Indeed," says Richard Williams, Vice President of Strategic Alliances at NEMONIX Engineering, "many VAX and Alpha owners are delighted to learn that they can extend the life and improve the performance of their systems without incurring the sometimes substantial cost of migrating to new systems." Third-party engineering firms like NEMONIX can upgrade aging VAX and Alpha systems so their performance equals that of today's most modern servers.

Williams and Parent advise companies to consider all of their options before deciding to consolidate, upgrade or migrate from their legacy systems. "The key thing is to know how to ask the right questions, understand the performance upgrade opportunities, and then do a solid return-on-investment analysis." said Williams. "We're going to give you those tools during our Webinar on November 2."
