    We recently hosted an insightful webinar titled “Levelling Up Cloud Performance: The Future of SPARC Emulation Has Arrived.” During this event, our seasoned legacy experts shared valuable insights on smoothly migrating SPARC systems and mission-critical Solaris applications to the cloud while achieving remarkable performance and efficiency.

    Did you miss the live event? Here are some of the key topics covered by the Experts:

    The Persistent Challenge of Legacy SPARC Infrastructure

    SPARC systems, still available for purchase, exemplify the ongoing ‘Legacy problem’ in computing. Software grows more stable and efficient with time. However, the hardware it runs on becomes less reliable as it ages and becomes prone to breakdown.

    The legacy problem isn’t just about outdated technology. It’s a complex issue of risk management, resource allocation, and business continuity. Organizations face a dilemma and often postpone modernization. While convenient in the short term, this decision can increase long-term vulnerabilities.

    Four Primary Strategies to Address Legacy Problems

    To address the legacy problem, companies have four primary options:

    • Status Quo: Put simply, it refers to the situation where companies do not take any action to modernize their existing hardware infrastructure despite knowing that the underlying risk is growing every day, and the hardware can fail anytime soon.
    • Buying Spare Parts: Purchasing spare parts for immediate financial relief is tempting. Businesses also believe that it reduces ongoing risk. But they often ignore the important questions: Does it really reduce long-term risk? To what extent does it reduce the risk? Can you be certain that the spare parts you have stocked will function correctly in the future?
    • Migration: The third strategy is migration which means taking the application to newer operating systems. This sometimes works, but sometimes there isn’t a version of the application for the new systems. This is also time-consuming and costly.
    • Emulation: Cloud emulation works by creating a virtual environment in the cloud that mimics the original hardware and enables the legacy operating system, database, and applications to run without changes. This approach offers minimal transformation while providing a significant positive effect on risks and costs.

    Charon-SSP: Your Shield Against Three Major Legacy Risks

    By deploying Charon-SSP, organizations can reduce three major risks.

    Obsolescence:

    With Charon-SSP, there is no need to update or repair hardware. You can run your legacy Solaris applications in the modern cloud without being constrained by aging, unsupported hardware. Consequently, the risk of downtime will become a rare phenomenon.

    Security:

    Charon-SSP enables updated security measurements including advanced perimeter protection. By shifting Solaris workloads to clouds, enterprises can better defend against data breaches. This reduces data exfiltration incidents. Additionally, emulating SPARC hardware on the cloud allows for advanced traffic monitoring.

    Efficiency:

    Cloud provides the flexibility needed for organizations to easily scale legacy applications as business needs change. It also offers cost efficiency, reducing unforeseen expenses.
