Organizations migrate from Solaris to Windows so they can derive more competitive advantage from hardware and applications. The resulting Windows-powered systems streamline administration, improve the productivity of workers and IT personnel, reduce data duplication, improve information integrity, and allow for smoother recovery from disaster. A Windows system helps companies create applications rapidly and requires less time to be spent on writing, integrating, and managing application software.
Progent can assist you to plan and deploy an efficient move from a Sun Solaris-based network to a MS Windows environment for running Microsoft's familiar Office suite, commercial software applications, and developer technology. Progent's experienced Solaris, Windows MCSE, and Cisco engineers and application specialists can help you to save your data and reduce business disruption by designing and executing an effective transition plan that protects your existing investments in Sun Solaris software and infrastructure. Progent can also help to train your users and network support group so your company stays productive.
Solaris-to-Windows transition support services offered by Progent include:
- Evaluation of Existing Infrastructure
Progent will help you evaluate the potential advantages and risks of transitioning an OS platform, software application, computer, storage subsystem, or database. The process produces a comprehensive assessment of your information system, defines a basic resource inventory, reduces technical uncertainties, and inevitably results in a more affordable migration by saving time and dodging expensive mistakes.
- Migration Planning and Testing
Progent will create a comprehensive migration implementation plan which may feature pilot installations. Progent uses a staged methodology with specified milestones in order to comply with economic, timing, and technical objectives while minimizing business disruption. This approach is modeled after the best industry practices defined in the Microsoft Solutions Framework (MSF).
- Microsoft Exchange Migration Expertise
Progent can create and execute a complete plan for migrating from Solaris-powered email to Exchange Server and can help you to port Lotus Notes or GroupWise applications to a Microsoft SQL application or a SharePoint Portal Server solution. Progent's experienced Microsoft Exchange Server engineers can evaluate the risks and benefits of transitioning to Exchange Server and create a comprehensive inventory of your existing email infrastructure. Progent can also conduct a proof-of-concept implementation to help validate an MS Exchange transition plan. Progent will also audit your existing messaging protection and propose polices and products to protect against attacks.
- Data and Application Software Porting
Progent can design and carry out a data and software application transition plan that includes definitions of information and software applications to be moved, description of tools and processes to be utilized for the migration, risk analysis and risk mitigation strategies, detailed project management support, timeline estimates of the transition and anticipated operational downtime, validation processes, and emergency back-out plans. Progent's migration team can ensure the effectiveness of your information and application transition project by offering accredited MS SQL Server 2019 consultants, Microsoft SQL Server 2017 experts, or Microsoft SQL Server 2016 integrators and data porting professionals who are experienced with large projects such as Microsoft Dynamics GP/Great Plains migration.
- Server and Media Transition and Consolidation
Server and storage transition and economization from Sun Solaris to Microsoft Windows can simplify IT management, enhance information consistency and speed system performance. By removing unneeded hardware and applications and by deploying server and storage assets effectively, you can build an IT architecture that is extensible, safe, simple to backup and recover, and affordable to administer and maintain. Progent's server and media migration and consolidation support includes a detailed plan with an assessment of your existing server and storage environment plus recommendations for hardware, applications, services, education, and support for proof-of-concept piloting. Progent can assist you to design and execute a consolidated, fault-tolerant IT architecture informed by in-depth performance evaluation and capacity assessment and can specify archiving and restore strategies.
