"With this announcement and future enhancement planned for CHARON on VMware, customers can now have a unified and standard data center infrastructure for both their main stream applications and legacy systems, a unique value proposition brought together by Stromasys and VMware", said Robert Boers, Chairman and CEO of Stromasys. Once the IT administrator has installed CHARON on a virtual Windows or Linux system in VMware, the virtual system can be managed with vSphere like any other virtual machine. Should there be hardware problems, even an active application together with its virtual server system can be moved to a backup VMware server using vMotion.
