Why PARSEC for Linux

Years on OpenVMS

PARSEC has supported OpenVMS since VAX/VMS V1. We’ve outlasted every vendor transition — DEC to Compaq, Compaq to HP, HP to HPE — and we’re still here after HPE’s EOL announcement.

We Trained HPE's Engineers

In the early years of OpenVMS, PARSEC was training the OpenVMS engineering group itself. That institutional depth lives in every support call, consulting engagement, and training course we deliver today.

All Three Architectures

VAX, Alpha, and Integrity are three fundamentally different hardware generations. PARSEC engineers are credentialed across all three — not just the most common one. Running a VAX in 2026? We’ve seen it.

We Build for OpenVMS Too

Online System Manager (OSM) and OpenVMS Password Policy are PARSEC-developed products — built by the same engineers who support your environment. We don’t just support OpenVMS. We invest in it.

Linux Services

Everything your Linux environment needs.

Six services, all delivered by engineers who know OpenVMS — not generalists reading from a runbook.

OpenVMS Telephone Support

When you call PARSEC for OpenVMS support, a senior engineer answers — not a Tier 1 script. We walk you through resolution by phone, email, or screen-share, with full case tracking from first contact through close. Choose the SLA that fits your environment.
  • Direct-connect senior engineer
  • 1-hour to 4-hour response tiers
  • Full case tracking & reporting
  • Phone, email & screen-share
  • 9×5 or 24×7 SLA options
  • VAX, Alpha & Integrity coverage
  • Post-incident documentation
  • All EOL versions supported
