Overview
M Technology is the solid foundation of VISTA. An ANSI standard, M isolates VISTA Applications from the underlying hardware platform, providing real-world portability. Time tested, VISTA has easily migrated from 1970's minicomputers to today's high-performance servers.

Note: M is an alternate name for MUMPS. When you read about M or MUMPS in these pages, you are reading about one and the same technology.

MSM to OpenM (Cache)
One of the most exciting and revolutionary platforms in the history of Vista deployment was based on PC Servers and MSM-PC Plus. A subsequent buy awarded the contract to Intersystems and their OpenM product (the Intersystems proposed successor is called Cache).

The purchase of Micronetics, by Intersystems, may be causing some MSM customers to consider a strategic conversion to OpenM (Cache).  To learn how the VA made the transition and to review their setup options, download the detailed conversion checklist, linked below.
