Case Study: Victorias Milling Company achieves reliable, faster legacy system operation with Stromasys CHARON-AXP

Victorias Milling Company - Customer Case Study

Victorias Milling Company (VMC), the Philippines’ largest refined sugar supplier (about 30% of daily needs), relied on highly mechanized and computerized operations to run two mills and a refinery. Their decade-old HP AlphaServer DS20/DS20E systems running Tru64 Unix and Progress applications were becoming unstable, prompting VMC to seek a cost-effective, low-risk solution to avoid operational disruption and expensive downtime.

VMC tested and implemented Stromasys CHARON-AXP virtualization to replace aging Alpha hardware with Intel-based servers, preserving their legacy applications. The migration was completed quickly and smoothly, improved application performance, removed hardware failure risk, and allowed the IT team to focus on other priorities—delivering a fast, cost-effective outcome.
