Hp OpenVMS (Open Virtual Memory System) is the leading cluster operating system, featuring high availability, performance, security, eBusiness and application integration, and comprehensive system management that can be integrated into an enterprise environment. It enables flexible response to changing business demands, and delivers on key aspects of Adaptive Enterprise now and further developments and tighter integration for the future.

According to Wiki :

OpenVMS is a multi-user, multiprocessing virtual memory-based operating system (OS) designed for use in time sharing, batch processing, real time (process priorities can be set higher than OS kernel jobs) and transaction processing. It offers high system availability through clustering, or the ability to distribute the system over multiple physical machines. This allows the system to be "disaster-tolerant" against natural disasters that may disable individual data-processing facilities.

It offers immunity to both planned and unplanned downtime with proven, unmatched, continuous computing, including disaster-tolerant, multisite clusters spanning 500 miles — at an "open system" price.
