Stromasys S.A.: CHARON-HPA, the World’s First Virtual HP3000 Hardware
Stromasys S.A., the leader in legacy system virtualization, today publicly announces that the Zelus project, an advanced development project to create a virtual version of the 30+ year old HP 3000 hardware, has achieved its goals. After multiple years of development, the CHARON-HPA/3000 virtual system executes the unmodified MPE/iX operating system, its applications and even HP3000 hardware diagnostics on an industry standard server. The CHARON-HPA/3000 virtual platform has been released in Beta test on September 7.
“The power and versatility of our CHARON virtualization architecture clearly demonstrates that users of business critical legacy HP3000 systems have now a very compelling alternative to a costly and lengthy migration” said Robert Boers, Corporate Technology Officer and Founder of Stromasys. “ The decision last August to transfer the results of our Zelus projects into product development has rapidly resulted in a new member of our CHARON virtual system architecture, proven in an installed base of over 4000 virtual VAX and Alpha licenses worldwide.”
The first CHARON-HPA/3000 product, set to launch in January 2012, is a virtual version of a HP e3000-A400 server, executing the unmodified MPE/iX operating system, database and customer applications on a standard Intel/AMD server or as a VMware client. Both an appliance and a “software only version” will be available, and commercial T&Cs will be released in December. Performance at release time will be roughly equal to the performance on HP3000-A400 hardware for commercial workload (limited floating point), when running on a recommended configuration.
With a simple re-installation of the software, not requiring code or data conversion, the longevity of MPE/iX customer application is guaranteed, without significant migration costs. For more information, go to: www.stromasys.ch/virtual-hp3000 .
