FreeAXP™ virtualizes existing Alpha hardware running OpenVMS and Tru64 Unix by emulating the Alpha hardware. FreeAXP allows Alpha systems to be rehosted without modification on Intel servers running Windows. The hosted OpenVMS or Tru64 Unix applications think they are still on real Alpha hardware, so no modification or recompilation is required. FreeAXP replaces legacy Alpha hardware, recovering space in data centers, reducing maintenance costs, and reducing operating costs. Retain your Alpha applications unchanged while moving off older hardware with FreeAXP!
FreeAXP is a technology demonstrator. It is free software and is officially unsupported. It is provided as a technology demonstrator and to support virtualization of non-critical Alpha systems. For a commercial virtual Alpha solution, check out Avanti™.
