About US

Our Alpha Virtual Machine running on a modern computer system can be used as a safe and non-expensive replacement of end-of-life Alpha hardware.

Many businesses are stuck with old Alpha systems which they cannot replace with modern computers, because the software designed for Alpha cannot run "as is" on an Intel or AMD based servers. Typical examples include data centers and industrial software that controls a production processes and document flows, which are most critical applications. The software replacement in this case is too risky and expensive. At the same time the ownership costs of the old hardware is constantly increasing.

Our solution solves this problem by means of emulation based on the virtual machine technology. This emulator can run on a computer running Windows Vista 64 Bit or higher. Thus all your software does not need any modifications or reengineering during the hardware replacement.

Advantages of the virtual machine solution:

• Replacement of legacy Alpha systems preserving all existing software. This means that the application software works as is. No reengineering or modifications are required. Only small migration effort is needed to switch to new systems and to test that it works.
• Reduction the Alpha systems ownership costs including:
  • floor space,
  • air conditioning requirements,
  • electricity consumption,
  • hardware maintenance;
• Performance improvement at low cost - the emulator can run faster than some old systems;
• Enhanced flexibility by means of virtualization:
  • running several virtual old systems on one new system,
  • easy to add or remove emulated systems,
  • possibility of using blade servers,
  • VMware compatibility;
• Low migration risks. Reengineering would have large risks associated with development of software. Emulation does not have those. The migrated solution can be easily tested before it is set in production environment.

Our company has over 20 years of Experience with OPENVMS and Alpha servers providing Migrations and Installations Throughout the Caribbean.
