DEC users, what now? Binary translation Native migration Virtualization

Binary translation From VAX to ALPHA: Using OMSVA From ALPHA to Itanium: Using OMSAI Both delivered by Stromasys to HP, freeware Fastest and most inexpensive solution Does not need the source code However, some serious limitations apply, such as the availability of older languages on the target platform User-mode applications, only Does not allow for future enhancements on target platform VAX to Itanium needs two steps Will impact performance Not all applications are binary translatableCopyright 2001-2010 Stromasys SA 01-20-017-07 p 7
Native migration to a new platform Produces native application on the target platform Almost every application can be migrated Partial redesign during migration allows for replacing the programming language, middleware, user interface and design Further development and maintenance on target platform May give a performance boost However, will take long to implement Presents serious risks (time, functionality, QA, re-certification) Source code needed

Virtualization Does not need the source code Replaces old HW by modern and commodity HW No significant migration efforts. Upgrades immediately, quickly, simply Inexpensive No risk Reduces computer footprint, energy consumption and cooling significantly Preserves current investments Keeps current applications and data Keeps current business processes, no impact on day-to-day operations No re-training, no re-staffing, no re-certification
Increases performance

Why virtualization Hardware is end-of-life Service costs have increased significantly Operational costs (e.g. energy consumption, footprint) are excessive Application rewriting and re-certification may be expensive & risky Experts and/or application source code not always available Automatic binary conversion to OpenVMS/IPF does not always work Market expects modern platforms Higher performance needs Tru64 UnixCopyright 2001-2010 Stromasys SA
