Creating Agility and Continuity for a Global Product Company

Find out how Stromasys enables the creation of a consolidated, unified platform across multiple sites running MPE, HP-UX, and Tru64 Unix workloads in the cloud.

Leave your Legacy Hardware

For organizations struggling with compatibility challenges between mission-critical applications and modern cloud computing, Stromasys provides the most efficient solution to preserve your vintage application. With our Charon® solution, we seamlessly virtualize the respective legacy host system on-prem or in the cloud with proven performance to quickly eliminate the time and costs associated with managing hardware or rewriting software.

Legacy Hardware Virtualization Comparison

What are the options available when considering your legacy hardware systems?

The Importance of Server Virtualization for Modern Businesses

Server virtualization provides a cost-effective and flexible solution for IT departments to manage and utilize their hardware resources more efficiently while also providing improved scalability, disaster recovery, and security.

Achieve sustainable, effective business continuity

Information Technology has long been an essential part of many business operations. Any disruption to IT systems can have significant consequences for an organization, including financial losses, damage to reputation, and inability to serve customers. Charon legacy hardware emulation can help eliminate that risk by moving mission-critical applications to modern hardware on-prem or in the cloud, creating a more sustainable, and cost-effective IT infrastructure.

OpenVMS for DEC Servers

Digital Equipment Corporation (DEC) legacy systems are everywhere: banks, energy and nuclear facilities, manufacturing and process control, the defense industry, transportation, hospitals, insurance, and more.  At Stromasys, we work with organizations of all sizes and almost every vertical with production or business-critical environments, helping them protect their software investments by emulating their DEC hardware.

Tru64 and Charon

Charon-AXP, the line of Alpha hardware emulation solutions from Stromasys, offers businesses a way to continue running not only the mission-critical applications but also the time-tested legacy Tru64 operating system formerly known as Digital UNIX.

OpenVMS

The OpenVMS operating system, since its release in 1977, has been used by businesses worldwide because of its outstanding reliability. While the VAX and Alpha hardware that it typically ran on is no longer manufactured, the operating system has withstood the test of time and the critical applications running on it are still at the core of many business operations.

OpenVMS on the Cloud

Many businesses rely on the OpenVMS operating system, despite the fact that its VAX and Alpha hardware are no longer manufactured. If your organization currently uses this OS and would like to continue to do so, but in a more modern, efficient way, Stromasys has you covered. We offer both cloud-based and on-prem options, often with no upgrading of your OpenVMS required.

Integrate Legacy Systems with Modern Applications

Integrating legacy applications with modern infrastructure, including the cloud, doesn't have to be difficult. Charon in the Cloud makes data center migrations possible.

Still Running A SPARC System? There is a Better Way!

SPARC (Scalable Processor Architecture) servers were designed for high-performance computing and enterprise-level applications. Running various versions of the Solaris operating system, they were known for their reliability, scalability, and ability to support large workloads and mission-critical applications. Despite the fact that SPARC hardware has increased maintenance and management costs, organizations still rely on these systems because of the applications that run on them. Migrating those workloads to modern hardware doesn't have to mean sacrificing those benefits. Charon-SSP makes it possible to replace the aging hardware and move your Solaris applications to modern x86 hardware, on-prem or in the cloud.

Re-Hosting SPARC, Alpha, or Other Legacy Systems to AWS with Stromasys

Companies still rely on mission-critical applications running on Sun SPARC, Alpha, or other legacy systems like PDP, VAX, or HP 3000. As time goes on, however, the maintenance costs for these systems go up, and reliability declines due to their age. Re-architecting these applications is complex and expensive. Fortunately, they can be re-hosted on Amazon Web Services (AWS) in a matter of days using cross-platform hypervisors from Stromasys, an AWS Partner.
