SPARC, DEC Alpha, and other legacy systems have powered critical workloads across industries, but aging hardware is now mounting risks. This hardware has reached its end-of-lifecycle while the applications remain functional. Replacing or rewriting these applications is not always a feasible option. Another alternative to modernizing these legacy platforms, like DEC Alpha or SPARC, is to migrate to the AWS cloud platform with the help of an emulator like Stromasys Charon.
The emulation migration strategy creates a similar environment of legacy hardware on AWS without any modifications. This extends the life of the critical applications that were previously operating on the aging hardware. This approach eliminates hardware failure risks, reduces costs due to the availability of pay-as-you-go models, enhances disaster recovery, and leverages AWS benefits.
Did you know that downtime can cost businesses up to $250k an hour? And for businesses still depending on the old AlphaServers, unplanned downtime (caused by legacy hardware) is a constant threat. But what if you could avoid this risk altogether?
Our latest whitepaper, “Modernizing OpenVMS and Tru64 Environments Through Alpha Emulation,” addresses this risk head-on.
