• emulates a whole DEC/Compaq/HP Alpha AXP system including the peripherals,
• is targeted to replace ageing Alpha systems,
• runs on a modern computer system with  Windows,
• runs OpenVMS or Tru64/Digital UNIX

Why migrate to Virtual?

Simply because it lowers your risks and reduces the ownership costs. The Short answer: Reduced operating and maintenance expenses, improved reliability, and significantly increased performance, all with no changes to your applications.

• The chance that the new hardware fails is lower.
• The maintenance of new hardware is cheaper than of the old hardware.
• The energy bill is lower with the new hardware.
• The new hardware takes less space in your room.
• The migration to OUR Solution does not require any changes in your software; the migration risks are low.
• The virtual machine is more flexible than your old physical machine: it is easier to backup, clone, or experiment with your configuration.

Significant Performance Improvement

Today's x86 CPUs are much faster than VAX or Alpha CPUs. In many cases the virtual VAX or virtual Alpha systems will run faster -- sometimes much faster -- then the physical hardware they replace. Likewise, modern disks are significantly faster -- and more reliable -- than many of the aging drives on the VAX and Alpha systems. The Gigabit network card on that blade server is lightning fast compared to the 10 Mbit card on your VAX system.
