Run your entire Alpha environment on modern hardware — without rewriting applications or changing how your systems operate.
vtAlpha is a full-system emulation platform that recreates DEC Alpha hardware environments on modern x86-64 systems. It enables your existing operating systems, applications, and data to run exactly as they do today — without modification.
By translating between legacy Alpha architecture and modern infrastructure in real time, vtAlpha allows organizations to move away from aging hardware while preserving their entire software investment.
Alpha systems remain critical — but increasingly fragile.
Continuing to rely on physical Alpha systems creates long-term operational risk.
vtAlpha creates a virtual Alpha system that mirrors your existing environment — allowing you to move everything to modern hardware without disruption.
Your system boots from transferred disk images and continues running as if nothing has changed.
