Legacy hardware, like Sun SPARC systems, often becomes a challenge for businesses due to high maintenance costs, lack of hardware replacements, and risks of operational failures. Stromasys addresses these challenges with Charon-SSP, an innovative emulation solution for Sun SPARC hardware. This solution enables organizations to virtualize aging Sun SPARC systems on modern x86 servers or cloud platforms like Microsoft Azure.

Charon-SSP recreates the SPARC hardware layer, allowing existing Sun Solaris applications to run without modification or re-engineering. This Sun SPARC virtualization ensures business continuity by eliminating reliance on aging physical hardware. Furthermore, the solution reduces operational costs, as there is no need for hardware-specific power and cooling requirements. It also simplifies IT management, as existing applications and processes remain unchanged, minimizing the need for additional training or migration expenses. 

Businesses can deploy the solution on-premises, on Linux or VMware environments, or in the cloud, leveraging scalability and enhanced IT agility. For organizations using Oracle’s Sun x86 Linux servers, Stromasys ensures seamless integration, thanks to its Oracle Partner Network membership. 

By adopting Charon-SSP, businesses can avoid the risks of aging hardware while achieving cost savings, streamlined operations, and long-term IT resilience.
