Stromasys S.A.: CHARON-HPA, the World’s First Virtual HP3000 Hardware
26.10.2011 10:00:55 CEST | Business Wire | Press release
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 .

Forrester: Three Years Into GenAI, Enterprises Are Still Chasing Its True Transformative Value2.4.2026 16:00:00 CEST | Press release
Low AI fluency, uneven adoption, and marginal productivity gains are limiting enterprise-scale impact According to Forrester’s (Nasdaq: FORR) latest report, Accelerate Your AI Voyage, most enterprises are struggling to turn growing AI adoption and investment into measurable business impact. One of the key factors holding businesses back is low artificial intelligence quotient (AIQ) — Forrester’s measure of AI aptitude — with many employees lacking a clear understanding of how to use AI. Other barriers include an overemphasis on productivity-focused use cases, difficulty measuring impact, and siloed adoption within individual functions. While these challenges can leave firms frozen in doubt or indecision, the wait-and-see approach to AI adoption is no longer viable. To unlock AI’s full potential, organizations need to focus on four key areas: Define the business outcomes and success metrics for what they want AI to achieve; identify specific use cases for AI deployment aligned to those

Brightfin Unifies Brand Following Proven Optics Merger, Delivering a New Standard for Technology Cost Optimization2.4.2026 15:00:00 CEST | Press release
New identity reflects expanded vision to help CIOs “See Clearly. Spend Better.” Brightfin today announced that, following its merger with Proven Optics, the combined company will operate under a single brand: Brightfin. The unified company brings together deep expertise in Technology Expense Management (TEM) and IT Financial Management (ITFM) to help organizations better understand, manage, and reduce total technology spend. Technology spending will exceed $6 Trillion this year, and for most organizations, it remains one of the least understood. CIOs can tell you what they’re spending. Far fewer can tell you whether it’s working. “Over the past several months, we’ve brought these two businesses together around a shared purpose: help enterprise businesses better understand and optimize their technology spend,” said Joel Martins, CEO of Brightfin. “What we are seeing now is a shift. Visibility alone isn’t enough. Teams need to be able to act, tied to real financial outcomes. See Clearly.
