3806.0. "OVMS - Competitive Comparison video?" by TENNIS::KAM (Kam USDS (714)261-4133 (DTN 535) IVO) Wed Apr 12 1995 19:07

    I received an email regarding a training video on OVMS.  The video
    supposedly included all kinds of competitive comparisons between OVMS 
    and other OS's with respect to functionality and performance.  
    
    After much searching in VTX IR and elsewheres I finally have to say I
    can't find anything.  Anyone have any insighs into this?

    Don't forget all those big, expensive Unisys 1100 and 2200 system
    mainframes used by Lufthansa, Iberia, SAS, Pacific Cathay, United,
    Northwest, SITA and on and on.  They run the Unisys Standard Airline System
    (USAS) package for things like reservations, scheduling, load and
    balance, maintenance, least fares, ect.
3806.4OpenVMS Video from Systems Foundation TrainingLANDO::MHALLTue Apr 18 1995 12:079
    During Q1, there was a series of videos done on all Digital
    products called "Product Foundation Training".  One of the 
    videos was specifically done on OpenVMS.
    
    These videos can be ordered through VTX IR.

    Received this information from some one at Digital that actually
    saw the video.  When I did a search in VTX IR under OpenVMS I could
    NOT find anything in the VIdeo section.  Let me try with this new
    information.
    
This is everything that is on the video:
	"System Foundation Training
	 Video Learning Library
	 Module 3 - Winning with OpenVMS
	 Part 1 of 2	1:55:25
	 1994 Digital Equipment Corporation"

It appears that the module was produced around May of 1994.  Still, I have not 
seen OVMS comparitive info anywhere else but on the video.

The other location to find updated on-line competitive OpenVMS information
is in the public directory:

	VMSMKT"OpenVMS_Info"::[.OPENVMS]

In this directory you will find competitive comparisons including:

ABERDEEN_CLUSTER_COMP_CHARTS.PS        Cluster Comparison Charts    
ABERDEEN_REPORT.PS                     Cluster Comparison Study     
IDC_CHARTS_V6.PS                       IDC Charts version 6  
OVMS_CSO.PPT                           Including competitive performance
                                       comparisons and functionality comparisons

A customer piece that you can use is called:

"10 Reasons to Buy an OpenVMS System"     p/n  EC-F2904-10

orderable through on-line VTX LOS.
