Charon®Emulation Software

We engineered our Charon® emulation software to help businesses overcome the IT challenge of maintaining a complex patchwork of disparate legacy technologies and solutions.

Stromasys experts, products, and partners work together to virtualize your legacy systems in the cloud or on-premises seamlessly. No reengineering, rewriting software, or retraining users is required. Our lift-and-shift migration makes it possible to continue to run your application as usual on its native operating system even after it’s moved to modern hardware.

The Gartner group recognized Stromasys in their 2011 technology report as the leader in “processor emulation” and in 2013 as a “Cool Vendor.”

In 2022 Stromasys achieved Amazon Web Services (AWS) Migration and Modernization Independent Software Vendor (ISV) Competency status for AWS Partners recognizing our demonstrated technical proficiency and proven customer success automating and accelerating customer application migration and modernization journeys.
