"We will support Compaq's OpenVMS platform into the foreseeable future and in fact have several important updates that we will be announcing soon that will continue to add value to the PROMIS product set as semiconductor manufacturing transitions to 300mm wafers," said Jim Golden, vice president, Factory Management Software for PRI. "OpenVMS is proven in manufacturing systems all over the world owing to its reliability, scalability and excellent performance," said Richard Vatcher, vice president of PRI's Software Division. "It will continue to allow the PROMIS dual machine and high availability modules to provide virtually non- stop manufacturing operations to our OpenVMS customer base. With Compaq's commitment to port OpenVMS to the Intel Itanium processor family, this will ensure that PROMIS will be a viable solution for many more years." PRI will be one of the first suppliers to receive Compaq's OpenVMS Itanium-based hardware to begin the port. Both Compaq and Intel have committed significant joint resources and technology in bringing Compaq operating system environments and applications portfolios to Itanium-based enterprise servers. Mark Gorham, vice president of Compaq's OpenVMS Software Group said, "Compaq considers PRI to be a leading supplier of OpenVMS manufacturing software for the semiconductor industry and we've had a long and valued relationship with them to bring FAB productivity solutions to our mutual customers. With PRI's PROMIS MES software and services, and Compaq's OpenVMS operating system, semiconductor manufacturers worldwide have realized 24x365 availability and scalability, enabling them to more effectively compete and win in today's aggressive markets. I believe that PRI Automation's decision to support OpenVMS on the Intel Itanium processor family platform, as well as the Compaq AlphaServer platform, gives customers the highest levels of investment protection as well as a clear roadmap well into the current decade and beyond."
