Companies migrate from Solaris to MS Windows so they can derive more competitive value from equipment and software. The consequent MS Windows-based environments simplify management, improve the efficiency of users and IT personnel, reduce information replication, increase information integrity, and allow for faster rebounds from catastrophic failure. A Microsoft Windows environment lets companies create applications rapidly and demands less effort to be spent on developing, integrating, and maintaining applications.
Progent can assist you to plan and carry out a smooth migration from a Solaris-based IT system to a MS Windows network for running Microsoft's powerful office productivity suite, business software applications, and developer tools. Progent's skilled Solaris, Windows MCSE, and Cisco CCIE engineers and application experts can help you to keep your data and minimize business disruption by designing and executing an effective transition strategy that preserves your existing investments in Sun Solaris applications and network equipment. Progent can also assist to educate your users and IT group so your business remains productive.
Sun Solaris-to-Windows transition consulting expertise offered by Progent include:
- Evaluation of Existing Environment
Progent will help you determine the potential benefits and risks of transitioning an operating system, application, server, storage subsystem, or database. The exercise produces a thorough evaluation of your information environment, establishes a baseline network inventory, lowers engineering uncertainties, and ultimately leads to a lower cost of transition by conserving time and avoiding costly pitfalls.
- Transition Strategy and Testing
Progent will create a comprehensive migration implementation plan which may include pilot installations. Progent practices a phased approach with specified milestones in order to meet budgetary, timing, and engineering objectives while avoiding business disruption. This approach is based on the best industry practices outlined in the Microsoft Solutions Framework (MSF).
- Exchange Migration Expertise
Progent can produce and carry out a comprehensive strategy for transitioning from Solaris-powered email to MS Exchange Server and can help you to migrate Notes or GroupWise software applications to a Microsoft SQL application or a SharePoint Portal Server application. Progent's experienced MS Exchange Server consultants can assess the costs and benefits of migrating to Exchange and generate a detailed inventory of your current email infrastructure. Progent can also conduct a pilot implementation to confirm a Microsoft Exchange transition strategy. Progent will also audit your current email protection and recommend procedures and products to protect against attacks.
- Information and Application Software Transition
Progent can develop and carry out an information and application transition strategy that incorporates descriptions of information and software applications to be migrated, description of tools and processes to be utilized for the move, risk assessment and risk minimization plans, detailed project management support, timeline projections of the migration and anticipated network unavailability, validation processes, and emergency back-out procedures. Progent's consultants can ensure the success of your information and software application transition project by providing certified MS SQL Server 2019 consultants, Microsoft SQL Server 2017 consultants, or MS SQL Server 2016 developers and data porting consultants who are veterans of large projects such as Dynamics GP migration.
- Server and Mass Storage Transition and Consolidation
Server and mass storage migration and economization from Solaris to Microsoft Windows can simplify network administration, improve data consistency and accelerate network performance. By removing unneeded hardware and software and by configuring server and storage resources efficiently, you can create an information infrastructure that is extensible, safe, simple to archive and restore, and inexpensive to manage and support. Progent's processor and mass storage migration and consolidation service includes a detailed strategy with an inventory of your existing processor and mass storage infrastructure as well as for hardware, software, services, education, and consulting for validation testing. Progent can help you to develop and execute an efficient, high-availability network infrastructure based on in-depth performance evaluation and capacity assessment and can specify archiving and restore strategies.
