Stromasys
Stromasys S.A. produces cross-platform virtualization software for the migration of ex-Digital Equipment PDP-11, VAX and AlphaServer systems, running on OpenVMS or Tru64, to x86 standard hardware or Hewlett-Packard Integrity. Its best-known products, CHARON-VAX and CHARON-AXP are installed on a Microsoft Windows or HP-Integrity server which virtualizes the PDP-11, VAX or Alpha hardware. After the installation of an OpenVMS or Tru64 operating system image, the data on the legacy system can be copied on the virtualized server. Compared to traditional system migration, time, costs and risk of rewriting and/or updating the OpenVMS, Tru64, ADABAS, Oracle Rdb and - CODASYL DBMS software applications are being saved.
Stromasys S.A. was established by Dr. Robert Boers in 1998 as a management buyout of DEC’s European Migration and Porting Centre. Formerly known as Software Resources International (SRI), the company changed its name in April 2008 into Stromasys S.A. to reflect its global expansion and product line.
Stromasys' headquarters are in Geneva, Switzerland with additional offices in the United States, Europe and Asia.
