Lotteries, Stock Exchanges (Shanghai stock exchange migrated from 
HP-UX and went live in 2010 for their next generation system on 
OpenVMS Integrity.. brochures around on this one), Banks, Military,
ISP's (I know one cluster that supports over 4M Cust's), Telecom
(Acision on Integrity blades is one example), Manufacturing...

Keep in mind that the number of OpenVMS Cust's that hang out 
here In c.o.v. is likely less than a few % - if that.

Smaller examples include Custs like this mission critical SCADA 
FROM Windows TO OpenVMS migration:

Acision testimonial:

"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."
