Alpha Virtualization on Linux
11.01.2011 - Stromasys announces the availability of its leading DEC Alpha virtualization product line on Linux, expanding its cross-platform virtualization offering.
Geneva, Switzerland – January 11, 2011 – Stromasys S.A., the pioneering leader in legacy system virtualization, today announced the availability of the DEC Alpha virtualization product line (CHARONAXP/4100/DS10/DS20/ES40/GS80/GS160/GS320) on a Linux Fedora 64bit host server. CHARON-AXP provides comparable functionality and performance levels to that of CHARON-AXP for Windows. Product details are readily available on the Stromasys website.
“Over the last five years, Stromasys has provided over 4000 licences of virtual legacy systems for Windows hosts to our customers”, said Robert Boers, CEO and Chairman of Stromasys. “This means that many VMS and Tru64 users have been able to move their applications to modern servers without any conversion or porting effort. More and more data centres move to a VMware environment. Linux-based CHARON-AXP platforms, standalone or VMware clients provide an efficient solution for VAX and Alpha legacy system owners.”
Non-commercial, Educational (NCE) freeware versions of CHARON-AXP on Linux have been made available online for demonstrational purposes. Stromasys NCE products are continuously updated and are made available for Windows, Linux and VMware platforms with the intention of allowing Stromasys users the ability to evaluate products prior to purchase. To obtain access to NCE freeware, users are simply asked to register. All NCE product versions have been built from current source code.
