“We are using HP OpenVMS today for our highly available trading and clearing systems, especially for Eurex Exchange. We recently ported the complete software of the Eurex Exchange, which consists currently of 5 million lines of source code, to OpenVMS on HP Integrity servers. We are currently porting the Xetra cash market software as well. As the transaction volume of this exchange is growing year-to-year, we are planning to deploy mixed clusters adding HP Integrity servers to our current AlphaServer environment. OpenVMS on Integrity servers will enable us to introduce a new infrastructure with the same operating system in a cost-efficient manner.”
