TNMOC launches a seminar series on secure and reliable computing
As part of its educational mission, TNMOC is running a seminar series on building systems using OpenVMS.
The first seminar, an introduction to OpenVMS, will be held at the Museum on Friday 15th May 2009. It is expected run from 10:00 until 16:30 with a break for lunch.
Colin Butcher of XDelta Ltd will be leading the seminar. He is very experienced in OpenVMS and for several years has helped TNMOC build secure outward facing systems.
The seminar will focus on installing and setting up an OpenVMS system from scratch. There will be a practical demonstration of installing and setting up OpenVMS on all three hardware platforms: VAX, Alpha and Integrity. This will provide an introduction to the operating system and the three hardware platforms. All three systems will then be networked using both TCPIP and DECnet. Time permitting, there will also be an attempt to run a three architecture cluster.
The hardware to be used:
- rx2660 Integrity Server with both local disc and fibrechannel disc (SAN)
- AlphaServer 4100 with both local disc and fibrechannel disc (SAN)
- VAX 4000-600 with local disc.
Come along and participate - and expect a busy day!
The second seminar is planned for Friday 22nd May 2009. It will focus on installing and setting up an OpenVMS web server and the SIMH simulator.
The number of places is limited, so anyone interested in attending either or both seminars should register their interest as soon as possible. There will be no fee, but donations to TNMOC will be gratefully received.
