What is SPARC Migration?

SPARC Migration refers to the process of transitioning from Oracle’s SPARC architecture to alternative platforms, typically through a Sun SPARC emulator for x86-based systems or cloud-based solutions like SPARC on AWS. This migration involves transferring applications, data, and services from SPARC-based servers to the new infrastructure. The benefits of SPARC Migration include:

Enhanced Cost Efficiency: Moving to alternative platforms often reduces hardware and maintenance costs.
Increased Performance: Modern architectures can provide improved performance and scalability compared to aging Sun Solaris SPARC systems.
Future-Proofing: Migration enables organizations to align with evolving technology trends and ensures long-term viability of their IT infrastructure.
Flexibility and Agility: Adopting alternative platforms offers greater flexibility for adapting to changing business needs and leveraging emerging technologies.

Here’s What our Customers have to say!

"Our employees were enthusiastic about jobs that used to run eight hours now being done in ten minutes."

Unique Features of Stromasys SPARC Virtualization Solution

SPARC CPU & System

Charon-SSP virtualizes the 32-bit Sun-4m/V8 platform, 64-bit Sun-4u/V9 and Sun-4v/V9 platforms. The legacy SPARC emulator software layer presents almost all virtual onboard devices to the upper layer, from the Solaris/SunOS operating system to the applications.

Management Application

Charon Manager is an integrated component in our Solaris SPARC Virtualization product. It provides an easy-to-use and intuitive graphical interface to manage Charon-SSP and virtual SPARC systems either locally or remotely. Charon SSP is compatible with all mainstream applications and products. The solutions offered are:

VMWare SPARC Emulation
Oracle SPARC Emulation
Linux SPARC Emulator
Windows SPARC Emulator and more.

Improved Performance

Our SUN SPARC emulator utilizes Stromasys’ unique dynamic instruction translation technology (i.e., DIT) to improve runtime SPARC instruction execution speed. Our SPARC emulator creates a virtual replica of SPARC inside a standard 64-bit SPARC for x86 compatible computer system

Product License Key

Our SPARC virtualization product supports both hardware license keys and software licenses. Users can select the preferred protection method.
