An emulation solution is a process that allows one system (the host) to imitate another system (the guest), enabling legacy applications to run on modern hardware, such as an x86 system or a cloud platform. Emulators essentially replicate the legacy hardware environment on a new platform, thereby extending the life of legacy applications with minimal modifications.
The Charon Emulation solution is a widely used technology for modernizing outdated infrastructure while preserving legacy investments and leveraging modern technologies cost-effectively. It ensures business continuity while improving scalability, agility, and security, while eliminating downtime challenges.
In the software context, emulation is a process of imitating the behavior of a host on a guest platform.
