Enterprise Linux 3rd party support costs

Gidid — Wed, 26 Oct 2011 12:29:04 +0000

Seeking info about the cost factor of 3rd party support, as part of the TCO, in relation to Unix to Linux server migrations within the financial IT industry. Is it possible that a mid sized bank (with approx. 10,000 employees) will decide to cancel a planned unix to linux migration of all of the bank’s servers, only due to high costs of 3rd party support ? Any help and opinions would be most welcomed

Exchange cross Forest Migration 2003 to 2007

ArchitectSteve — Sun, 24 Jul 2011 21:50:48 +0000

I am in the position of having to acheive an Exchange migration from 2003 current to 2007 also crossing from domain abc.com to abc.def.com for all applications / users. We also use a mail archiving product (Symantec Enteprise Vault).

I am looking for a recommended approach to the Echange part. I belive the use of a resource Forest for exchange will allow me the easiest route allowing more time for the application side to be planned and exceuted.

Due to a large number of users and mail / archive data this migration will take an extended period of time and the need to maintain calendaring across migrated / unmigrated users is paramount to my business.

Thanks in advanced to anyone who is in a position to enlighten me

Do most providers charge an extra fee to run dual-stack?

SearchEnterpriseWAN — Mon, 20 Sep 2010 21:51:00 +0000

I’m talking to my current ISP about IPv6 migration, and I’d like to know whether service providers typically charge you to run dual-stack or not. Should I expect Internet service providers to charge extra for any other IPv6 migration costs?

Where are common places IP addresses hide?

SearchEnterpriseWAN — Mon, 20 Sep 2010 21:36:35 +0000

I’m looking to migrate my IPv4-based network to IPv6. But I keep hearing that IP addresses work their way into parts of a network infrastructure that we don’t normally think of. So before I do a trial-and-error approach to testing the IPv6 network, what are there common places IP addresses hide so that I can have an idea where to look?

Basic v6 migration steps for companies with public-facing IP addresses

SearchEnterpriseWAN — Mon, 20 Sep 2010 21:25:24 +0000

Hi,

My company has public-facing IP addresses, so with the pending IPv4 address exhaustion, I know an IPv6 migration is inevitable. If my goal is to migrate all of the wide area network’s IPv4 addresses to v6, what are some very basic steps I need to take to put together a migration plan, i.e., speak to my ISP, etc.?

Where can I find a list of common Mainframe applications used in the insurance industry that are good candidates for migration to open systems? Are there special considerations for the insurance industry, say compared to finance or manufacturing, when it comes to “modernizing” legacy applications?

Oracle 9i Migration from Solaris to AIX

SolnSeeker — Wed, 14 Apr 2010 22:48:18 +0000

Hi, We have to migrate the Oracle 9i Database from Solaris 2.8 to AIX 6.1. There are two databases of 500 GB and 1.5 TB respectively to be migrated. I did go through an article from Maria Anderson (Production DBA, Autodesk at http://searchoracle.techtarget.com/answer/Migrating-Oracle9i-database-from-Solaris-to-AIX) but the article was from 10-09-2006. Is the solution provided still stands true? If yes, are there any tools to assist the migration? Also, how much downtime shall we expect for the above database sizes. An approximate downtime based on prior experience will be very helpful for our planning. Thanks, Nikhil
