“Legacy Systems” describe those old computer systems (hardware and software) that continue to be used for a variety of reasons:
"The current system runs just fine, and it’s paid for."
"We do not have the source code, and cannot recompile these old programs, and they run all the critical processes for our company."
"This system runs 24X7, and we cannot have any downtime."
"We can still buy spare parts, so why replace the hardware?"
Dramatically reduce current hardware maintenance cost
Server consolidation is possible by combining multiple VMS systems
onto a single multi-core server to multiply the cost-saving benefits!
Speed up CPU performance of system
Improve disk performance by moving to 15,000 RPM SAS drives
Maintain software investment, no changes or recertification of systems required
Eliminate risk of unplanned downtime due to unavailability of obsolete spare parts
Eliminate risk of downtime due to ageing mechanical disk and tape drives
Allow system managers the ability to use CDs, DVDs and modern tape drives for backups rather than the obsolete technology track tape drives
Enable use of SAN and RAID drive technologies if desired by the site via the emulation on a Windows platform
Provide hot swappable mirrored hard drives via the emulation software on a Windows platform
Future migrations will only require movement to a new PC server platform with a new version of the underlying Windows Server Operating System and upgrade of the software to the latest version
Provide all new computer hardware for business critical systems currently used on an everyday basis
Go Green! Dramatic power reductions of 10X or more are possible by reducing the legacy system power and cooling costs versus a modern small server!
Virtualization frees up valuable computer room floor space by replacing refrigerator size computers with much smaller 1u or 2u servers!
If you are under a typical legacy hardware maintenance contract, a turnkey virtualization can be purchased with a 6 to 18 month payback!
Total time from purchase to installation can be as little as three weeks.
Salem Automation can also create customized legacy computer virtualizations, modifications to the existing virtualizations, and custom I/O virtualizations to suit a specific customer’s requirement.
