Virtualization & migrations

Legacy virtualization is a technique to replace an old, discontinued, and often unsupported server(s) still being used for mission-critical applications which cannot be easily migrated to a modern "commodity" platform or even to the cloud environment.

These kinds of systems is usually far behind their lifetime and generate various operational risks. Operators of such systems are not always aware of cross-virtualization solutions and are trying to keep the old systems running for any price only to avoid reimplementing the application itself -- which would take months to years and investments not only in IT, but also training, certification, and similar.

Our solution is a simple migration of the old software from the old hardware, to the new hardware, with no software change, so that the application, its users and operators won't observe any difference.

To achieve this, we are using Stromasys products which allow us and our customers to achieve all the past investments while removing the operational risks of decades old hardware.

We support DIGITAL PDP-11 running RSX‑11M or RT‑11, VAX running (Open)VMS, Alpha running (Open)VMS or Tru64/DigitalUNIX/OSF1, SPARC (sun4m, sun4u, sun4v) running most of the Solaris versions, HP‑UX on HP9000 and MPE/iX on HP3000.

Our team has long experience with a standard x86 virtualization as well, especially with various VMware products in the past, and QEMU/KVM-powered solutions like Proxmox.

Technology & consulting

To achieve the highest possible efficiency of both our developers and customers, we are following selected technologies and practices that have been continuously evolving since the year of 1991.

Our main data platform is built around the MUMPS standard and its implementation of YottaDB (formerly known as FIS GT.M). Middleware and application layer is built on a highly flexible, scalable and cloud-friendly Erlang/OTP technology. Integrated user interfaces are built using IWS (IDEA WebSystem) and standalone lightweight apps are built with ReactJS and Progressive Web Applications principles where applicable.

In the case of infrastructure, we work mainly with Ansible, NixOS, Terraform and Pulumi, also having long-standing Kubernetes experience, across all the major cloud providers — Amazon AWS, Google Cloud, Azure. All the infrastructure is always treated as a software project with its own CI/CD cycle and processes.

When it comes to the collaboration and process automation, we follow tools and methods produced and defined by GitLab company.

We work with customers — other software teams of various sizes and around the world — and help them achieve their goals using our experience and processes.
