Aging PA-RISC hardware (HP 9000 & HP 3000) may be reaching the end of its life, but MPE/iX 7.5 and HP-UX software & applications that run on top of it tend to have substantially longer lifetimes.
You may already be encountering hardware failure, searched for replacement parts or begun to investigate alternatives. And if you haven’t yet had hardware difficulties, you are aware that it’s only a matter of time. Given the revenue and liabilities at stake, waiting for hardware to fail and then take action is not a smart practice.
What if you could run your MPE/iX 7.5 and HP-UX applications without relying on outdated hardware – and at a fraction of your current maintenance costs?
Charon-PAR offers a proven HP-UX virtualization solution to make that a reality.
Minimize migration disruption by keeping apps, data, and middleware unchanged.
Ensure business continuity by eliminating the risk of unplanned downtime.
Boost your ROI by replacing classic hardware with affordable virtualization.
Improve performance through faster execution on modern hardware or cloud.
Reduce power usage and environmental impact, lowering overall operational costs.
Simplify data center management with enterprise-level consolidation under VMware.
Charon-PAR emulates end-of-life HP-9000 & HP-3000 servers originally designed for HP-UX and MPE/iX 7.5. This PA-RISC emulator creates a virtual environment that mimics the original hardware. This approach, known as lift and shift, preserves the key functionalities of your legacy applications without requiring costly rewriting, porting, migrating, or retraining.
It’s so seamless that your end users will remain unaware that the hardware has been changed. Likewise, there is no need to retrain end users as the existing systems and processes remain unaltered.
Steinway & Sons faced the challenge of obsolete HP 3000 hardware. But keeping their data accessible and ensuring mission-critical applications were running remained non-negotiable.
With help from a Stromasys partner, they easily virtualized their HP 3000 servers. This solution reduced hardware risks, minimized physical infrastructure, and cut costs on space, power, and maintenance – all while preserving key processes, systems, and data.
