There will probably be nothing to support. HP, the primary vendor of ia64
systems, will not be building any more itanic workstations or small servers.
Instead, they are supporting AMD64.

It is expected that OpenVMS will run on itanic systems, but there is little
mainstream interest in the chip. They would have been better off continuing
research on the Alpha.
