Hi managers,
We have bought two alpha 2100a with two HSZ40 controllers in a trucluster configuration 5 years ago. We have paid a lot for that hardware (This is the first time we bought other computer than PC!). Now Compaq send a notice that the HSZ40 will not be supported in the future release of Tru64 Unix (version 5.1).
I we want to continue to have the latest version of Tru64 Unix, we have to spent a lot.
My question is :
I don't know the past of Digital, but is it current to make customer the obligation to change hardware at five years ...
I talk to Sun customers that told me that the new version of Solaris continue to support hardware over eleven years old.
After my vacation , I have to evaluate the cost for the upgrading and the cost to past to another vendor...
TIA
