Check out the web sites at:
http://h71000.www7.hp.com/openvms/30th/index.html (HP CEO on OpenVMS video testimonial)

Also, nice video testimonial for OpenVMS blades:
http://hp.feedroom.com/?fr_story=f15...98621394&rf=bm

"Acision uses HP OpenVMS running on HP Integrity servers & HP Blades to help
deliver more than half of the world's text & multimedia messages & serve
three quarters of all videomail users."

[this is company that used OpenVMS to pass text voting for American Idol.)

Also, you mentioned financial market, so this might be of interest:
http://hp.feedroom.com/?fr_story=368...a70650d8&rf=bm
"See how Deutsche Börse, the largest financial exchange organization in the world,
uses HP OpenVMS running on HP Integrity servers to keep their electronic markets
up and running."
