Charon-SSP replicates the virtual SPARC hardware on industry-standard x86 computer systems. The emulation is fully binary compatible with SPARC hardware, including storage, Ethernet, and serial line I/O. The Charon-SSP virtual layer behaves as SPARC hardware and is compatible with SunOS, Solaris, and associated applications. This compatibility allows applications to be quickly re-hosted in the Charon-SSP virtualized environment, bypassing software code conversion, changes, or replacement. Charon-SSP replaces SPARC systems from the Sun4m, Sun4u, and early Sun4v (pre-Oracle) family. Charon-SSP supports versions SunOS 4.1 to Solaris 11.4. Solaris is Bring-Your-Own-License (BYOL) for Charon-SSP, and customers must make their own Solaris ISO image available for the initial install, after which the original filesystems from the legacy SPARC system may be migrated. For more information about this process, refer to our documentation below under Usage. In addition, there is a bare metal version of Charon-SSP available. Please note that Stromasys requires customers to review their specific licensing agreements pertaining to Sun/Oracle SPARC and Solaris. Charon-SSP allows all applications on legacy Sun SPARC systems to continue running without modification. As a member of the Azure Partner Network, Stromasys makes it easier for customers to move legacy Solaris workloads to Azure by virtualizing SPARC systems on Intel x86 servers in the cloud. Implementation assistance is available on a paid basis with annual, evaluation and POC licenses are available. Contact team.suport.azure@stromasys.com for licensing and more details.
