UNIX to Linux Migration Assessment
Highlights
Discover the Benefits of an Open Source Platform
Migrating to a Linux platform can help you cut costs, simplify IT and take advantage of new technologies, but you need to address some critical questions before initiating any major migration project. For instance:
- Do you have a thorough understanding of your current infrastructure?
- Will you need to invest in all-new servers and applications?
- How much will be the migration cost and is there a way to guarantee a good return on your investment?
Make sure you've got the bases covered with a Unix to Linux Migration Assessment from Dell Services.
How It Works
Starting with a consultative session with your key stakeholders, our team determines if your applications are certified to run on Linux. We then perform an assessment of virtualization capabilities and develop a total cost of ownership/ROI analysis.
Next, we examine all application dependencies within your existing environment to determine which applications or infrastructure components would perform better if modernized, ported, virtualized — or left as is. Throughout the process, we conduct an ongoing risk/trend analysis to confirm that our recommendations make sense for you.
The UNIX to Linux Migration Assessment includes:
- Executive summary of your current infrastructure with a detailed road map based on your stated goals and capabilities
- Introduction to the Dell migration methodology
- Complete basic ROI/cost savings analysis with relevant and actionable data
- Estimate of effort needed for complete migration and porting of applications
- Risk assessment by weight and probability for all risks associated with migration, plus a mitigation strategy
- Performance benchmark testing of your applications on the new platform
