Legacy Equipment and People
One of the themes at the HP Tech Forum was the pressing need for order replacement of legacy equipment and capture of the store of programming and operational knowledge before the talent walks out the retirement door. IT Revitalization is a challenge faced by almost every enterprise level IT organization.
Video today is an interview from the recent HP Tech Forum – with the CEO of Stromasys -

Stromasys offers the close emulation of legacy IT datacenter hardware on modern x86 equipment – simply to meet the needs of the IT Revitalization. How to keep the existing systems operational during the period of time when equipment spare parts are simply prohibitive in cost, when actual operation of equipment has tremendous ongoing costs in energy and facility requirement and lookng forward to the day when those who know how to keep legacy equipment running simple walk out the retirement door, with their knowledge and experience.

That ties in closely with the story today on the recall of some retired mainframe personnel.
