Every legacy application serves a vital function. But outdated hardware comes with mounting challenges. Gartner reports that 90% of IT leaders focus on addressing legacy systems because of high maintenance costs and operational inefficiencies.
Cloud migration for legacy applications is accelerating. Another Gartner report shows that 85% of enterprises will have a cloud-first strategy by 2025. The time to act is now – not when your hardware fails.
One superior solution for a more streamlined business environment is leveraging Charon on the Google Cloud.
As legacy hardware is eliminated, processes will be safer than ever before.
Reduce operational expenses with Google Cloud’s pay-as-you-go pricing.
Fast CPU clock speeds deliver better application performance.
No recertification or end-user training required – it’s the same application.
Flexible system capacity in minutes, easily adaptable to changing demands.
Enjoy Google Cloud’s disaster recovery and uptime best practices.
The Lift and Shift migration powered by Charon on the Google Cloud offers a proven way forward. It replicates the behavior of your legacy hardware perfectly. Existing applications and operating systems run unmodified as if they’re still on the original hardware.
This way, you can easily host your virtualized system on Google’s robust infrastructure, leveraging its global network for added reliability and performance.
When paired with Google Cloud’s scalable infrastructure, Charon offers the best of both worlds – hardware independence and cloud efficiency.
This demonstration clearly highlights the key features of Charon-SSP on Google Cloud, a game-changing solution within the Charon family. Likewise, businesses can reap similar benefits by using Charon to emulate their VAX, PDP, HP-UX, and AlphaServers.
