I am very aware that an instance of db2 is deeply embedded into the OS, which is designed to be easily maintained. I deal with one regularly at another corporate site. You might also find it interesting to consider that the CPU was likely made by Global Foundries (assuming that their arrangement with IBM is still in place). I am still trying to get my coworkers excited about VMS on x86; our VAX users are completely disinterested.

You have VAX users?

  VMS 7.3.

    Are they still actually running on VAX, or something more "modern" like Alpha?

      We are using the Charon VAX emulator on an HPE Xeon. I have my own skunkworks VMS 1.0 on SimH, from these instructions: https://gunkies.org/wiki/Installing_VMS_V1.0_on_SIMH https://gunkies.org/wiki/Installing_VMS_V1.0_on_SIMH

    Who is using VMS in 2024? Use case?

      An enormous set of COBOL applications using TDMS.
