Extend the lifetime of your VAX-applications by emulating (old) hardware in software |
|
|
| VAX virtualization allows you to keep your valuable VAX-based applications and run them as ever before on a new computer platform, without making any changes to them. It is by far the most efficient and least expensive form of software migration. | |
|
The principle of VAX virtualization is simple: remove the old VAX hardware and replace it by a combination of more current hardware, its operating system and the virtual VAX software layer. CHARON-VAX rebuilds the hardware environment of the old VAX hardware inside the new computer system. The VAX software (the operating systems and everything on top of that, including your applications and files) will not know the difference between the old and the new system, and therefore no changes to the software are required. This means you can replace your old VAX by a new computer without changing your software. Many customers have preceded you on this road and they are very pleased with the results. For more information about successful projects we refer to the Emulators@Work page on this website.
FutureVAX emulator systems that completely replaces your existing microVAX II - 3900 systems. These microVAX systems supported Qbus adapters that are connected to the vital installations they control. Or they are the platform for real-time applications. FutureVAX systems resemble the VAX they replace and it is merely a matter of replugging the cables of the peripherals and transferring the disk content to make them operational.

CHARON-VAX is licensed software that must be installed and configured by the user and thus requires some expertise of emulation technology. The emulator software addresses the installed base of standard VAX computers with no special devices or applications to support. VAX-emulator solutions offer equivalent or better performance compared to the systems they replace. Dependent on your selection you can create additional headroom for expansion, without making changes to the software.
CHARON VAX is available for most VAXes that have been manufactured by Digital Equipment Corporation: The XM/XK/XL range covers the single CPU vaxes The 66x0 range covers the multi CPU VAXes These versions both run on Windows platforms. For the HP OpenVMS/Integrity platform we have the /3198 and /4705 version. |
