Stromasys announces top performance virtual VAX CHARON-VAX/6660 Plus for Windows

 

Geneva, Switzerland -Stromasys today added the top-performing CHARON-VAX/6660 Plus for Windows to its product family of VAX 6000 emulators. The CHARON-VAX family of products are software products running on modern Windows or Alpha systems and emulating the legendary VAX computers of Digital Equipment Corporation (DEC, now HP). The virtual VAX created by CHARON-VAX permits the installation of any VAX operating system, like VAX/VMS, and the execution of the binary user application without any modification or recompilation. This allows the user to replace his old hardware immediately by modern hardware, significantly reducing maintenance cost, and preserving current investments in applications and staff. In addition, CHARON-VAX enables the user to extend his application on the modern platform while increasing the application performance at the same time.

The CHARON-VAX/6660 Plus for Windows product announced today emulates a VAX 6000, model 660 system with six CPUs and - depending on the host system's configuration - can provide the performance of 450+ VUPS on industry standard servers currently available on the market with eight single-core or four dual-core CPUs. This is a performance range that was never reached by the original VAX machines. The virtual VAX created using CHARON-VAX/6660 can build clusters like any real VAX, including shared disk clustering and NI clustering. It can provide VAX memory sizes up to 2 GB.

Stromasys specializes in preserving its clients' software investments across hardware generations by migrating and extending software applications to new platforms, and by its emulator products. It maintains Representation Offices or Value Added Resellers in Australia, Bahrain, Belgium, Canada, Caribbean countries, France, Germany, India, Italy, Republic of South Korea, Latin America, Libya, Mexico, Netherlands, Sweden, Switzerland, Turkey, United Kingdom and United States.
