Thanks - it still doesn't answer the question, but did bit of digging
and it seems ibm hardware will support at least some of it. Some news
feature recently showed hp monitors, so I guess hp hardware is involved,
at least on the desktop, but why are hp not pursuing this business
agressively with vms for the back end ?. With it's scalability and
resilience, I would have thought vms would be a natural for such work.
Perhaps the applications aren't available and let's face it, with
hardware and os being commodity, it's the apps that drive the business
in the end.

VMS always was a mainframe class os, so why aren't hp making more of it ?...


Perhaps because someone somewhere, with a memory, has been seriously
burnt by previous UK govt projects.
