Jean-Paul Bergmans joined Stromasys in January 2011 as Chief Operations Officer. In this role, Jean-Paul has improved Stromasys' sales channels and product positioning within the market. Stromasys sees a growing number of strategic relationships with companies like HP and Dell, driven by the compatibility of the CHARON product family with the trend towards datacenter virtualization. “As our cross-platform virtualization technology becomes mainstream, Jean-Paul's proven track record of managing a variety of international IT companies working with large international clients will be an extraordinary asset to Stromasys” said the Stromasys founder, Chairman and CTO Robert Boers. “From a personal perspective, the transfer of my CEO role to Jean-Paul gives me the opportunity to focus on the next generation of our products and on an increasing number of strategic initiatives”. Before joining Stromasys, Jean-Paul worked for many years in Sun Microsystems as International Marketing Development Manager, Product Sales Director EMEA, Regional Director CIS and Vice-President Southern & Eastern Europe, Middle East & Africa. After leaving Sun, Jean-Paul started and managed an IT company in Russia. Before joining Sun, Jean-Paul held positions of Marketing and Sales Manager Belgium, European Services Sales Manager and System Integration Manager Russia in Digital Equipment Corporation.

“Over the last five years, Stromasys has provided over 4000 virtual legacy systems licenses for Windows hosts to our customers”, said Robert Boers, CEO and Chairman of Stromasys. “VMS and Tru64 users have been able to move their applications to modern servers without any conversion or porting effort. With the availability of our Linux based virtualization engines, our customers now have the freedom to use the support operating system of their choice. The adaptability of Linux provides a tunable environment that is very helpful in virtual hardware design." Successful porting of the production version of CHARON-AXP is a milestone for Stromasys, thus confirming the ability to support Stromasys products across most popular x86 software platforms. This highlights the strategic importance of Linux as it becomes the newest member of the CHARON family; by focusing on current trends we are happy to be able to provide our customers with their latest need thereby creating yet another Stromasys solution and confirming our cross-platform capabilities. Current versions of CHARON-AXP for both Windows and Linux are created from the same source; this demonstrates the efficiency and portability of Stromasys engineering competences in the cross-platform virtualization field and the ability for customers to keep their preferred platform. Alongside the Windows version, CHARON-AXP on Linux can be installed on a VMware virtual machine. This gives us the possibility to transfer the virtual machines running on it to another VMware ESX server using vMotion. Stromasys Non-commercial, Educational (NCE) freeware versions are available for Windows, Linux and VMware platforms with the intention of enabling Stromasys users to evaluate products prior to purchase. To obtain access to NCE freeware, visit www.stromasys.com/downloads.

Today, Stromasys S.A. is pleased to announce that its CHARON line of cross platform virtualisation products has received the VMware Ready logo. The software virtualises Digital Equipment Corporation (DEC) PDP-11, VAX systems, and AlphaServers. VMware has now confirmed that Charon virtual servers are supported on virtual machines in the VMware ESXi environment. This “double virtualisation” offers IT administrators almost complete failure protection for their legacy systems. “With this announcement and future enhancement planned for CHARON on VMware, customers can now have a unified and standard data center infrastructure for both their main stream applications and legacy systems, a unique value proposition brought together by Stromasys and VMware“, said Robert Boers, Chairman and CEO of Stromasys.  Once the IT administrator has installed CHARON on a virtual Windows or Linux system in VMware, the virtual system can be managed with vSphere like any other virtual machine. Should there be hardware problems, even an active application together with its virtual server system can be moved to a backup VMware server using vMotion. “By using virtual servers on VMware we were able to almost completely eliminate the risk of an outage, while our application continue to run on VMS”, explains Janos Kreis, System Manager at Kraus & Naimer. Kraus & Naimer has been using CHARON for various VAX server models in conjunction with VMware for several months. For some time now, many IT administrators have been waiting for CHARON to receive the VMware Ready logo, because large companies and government organisations are still working with OpenVMS on DEC VAX and AlphaServer systems, which were built in the 1980s and 1990s. The operating system still has the reputation to be the safest and most stable of its kind, but frequently hardware threatens to fail after more than 20 years of productive use. Together, CHARON and VMware will ensure that operating system and applications can continue to be used without any interruption.
