SMS frequently helps customers source and re-deploy legacy equipment in order to:

  • Meet a legal inquiry
  • Locate historical company data
  • Refresh data that needs to be re-wrapped

SMS delivers legacy systems support for:

  • Digital VAX/VMS
  • PDP-11’s RSTS/e and RSX-11m
  • HP 3000 and MPE

Over 105,000 customers in the United States keep older VAX/VMS systems running despite Hewlett-Packard’s strategies to move them to newer models. SMS recently assisted one customer in converting their 8mm DAT tapes to meet a legal inquiry. Many customers, partners and software resellers retain SMS to support their older technologies.

Over 11,000 customers in the United States keep older HP3000 systems running.   In spite of what many will say, the HP 3000 is still alive and well.  In fact, SMS recently assisted one of our many HP3000 customers by installing, integrating and supporting state of the art Hitachi disk drives on an older HP3000 system.
