Recertifying legacy OS is a risky and time-consuming process. Stromasys keeps your trusted clinical application exactly where it is while removing outdated hardware (x86 or cloud).
You may have a weapons control system running on a legacy OS. It’s certified, accredited, and tested in multiple use cases. But the legacy hardware it sits on? It’s a silent threat in your data center.
SPARC, VAX, PA-RISC, and Alpha servers have already reached their end-of-life status. With no vendor left to call, sourcing replacement parts has become a headache for IT teams.
An unpatched legacy system can lead to HITECH notification requirements and HIPAA penalties. As a result, fines can reach up to $1.5 million per violation category.
In healthcare, it forces clinicians to paper-based processes, delays diagnostics, and introduces medication errors. Downtime here costs more than money, affecting patients’ trust.
Legacy systems cannot support modern encryption or multi-factor authentication. In 2024, the average HIPAA enforcement penalty exceeded $554,000, a 73% boost year-on-year.
The U.S. federal healthcare system alone spends approximately $337 million annually to keep legacy platforms, highlighting how costly your legacy systems can be.
Replacing a healthcare software that runs on legacy hardware requires rewriting the code, and, at times, years of implementation risk. Further, it can also become a million-dollar project.
276 million patient records were exposed or stolen in 2024 alone, more than double the 2023 figure.
Healthcare data breaches now occur at a rate of roughly two per day.
The average cost per healthcare breach hit $10.9 million in 2024, the highest of any industry.
Downtime in a hospital environment can cost up to $9,000 per minute.
Charon creates a virtual copy of your legacy server on a modern x86 host. The operating system and all applications run in that emulated environment without modification.
Once legacy workloads run on modern host, organizations can apply modern security controls: encrypted storage, network segmentation, up-to-date backup, and disaster recovery.
Stromasys can consolidate multiple legacy servers into a single, virtual data center. For organizations ready to transition, cloud deployment completely eliminates data center costs.
Modern infrastructure means modern audit trails, modern backup, and modern disaster recovery documentation. Compliance teams get the evidence frameworks they need.
