Owned by Hewlett-Packard, OpenVMS is a multi-user, multiprocessing virtual memory-based OS projected for use in time sharing, real time batch & transaction processing. OpenVMS offers the capability to share out the system over several physical machines which is recognized as clustering hence the high system availability, making the system to be "catastrophe–tolerant" against natural disasters that may disable individual data-processing services..

OpenVMS is a very popular in environments where stability, reliability, high performance, disaster tolerance, security, scalability and clustering are required.

OpenVMS also supports clustering where multiple systems share processing, job queues, print queues, and disk storage which are connected either by specialized hardware or Ethernet.

As per my knowledge OpenVMS is a multitasking and multiprocessing operating system which is based on VMS programs written to the POSIX standard, that includes a set of standard C language programming functions, and it can be ported to any POSIX supporting computer platform.
Among other features, OpenVMS is used with special software that assist its use with widows servers.

OpenVMS offers several features such as Integrated Computer Networking, High level security,hardware partitioning of multiple processors etc.
