Virtual VAX: VAX Emulation, VAX Migration and VAX Replacement
A VAX can be virtualized (emulated) on a modern computer, which allows
the existing
operating system (such as VAX/VMS, OpenVMS, VAXELN), its software, and
all applications
to be run without change. No
reprogramming is required. Most customers report that the
emulated system is faster than the original. The CHARON-VAX/6660 Plus
product, running on an
8-core PC, is faster than any VAX ever built!
VAX emulation offers the following advantages:
Host systems include Microsoft Windows.
Certified by HP as a real VAX.
Installation, configuration, and migration can be contracted
on a
turn-key basis from Quayle Consulting Inc..
Annual support contracts and periodic product updates are
available.
HP OpenVMS software
support is available when running on HP
hardware.
Oracle
RDB licenses can be transferred to the emulated system. In
most cases, licenses and service agreements can be transferred for free.
Oracle does all its VAX
development with
CHARON-VAX! (PowerPoint)
