Charon on the Cloud
Charon, the first solution to emulate legacy SPARC, Alpha, VAX, and PA-RISC critical systems, is available for Cloud subscription on all major cloud providers (Amazon Web Services, Google Cloud Platform, IBM Cloud, Microsoft Azure, Oracle Cloud, Rackspace Cloud-VMware based).
With Charon on the Cloud, your original applications, databases, and operating systems remain unchanged. There is no modification or re-certification required. The original hardware is eliminated, and the applications run as usual on the Cloud with our Charon solution as the translation later that makes it possible.
