Red Hat Enterprise Linux has been growing rapidly during the last five years, with a 30% year over year growth. This is not just in spite of the financial crisis – it is partly due to the financial crisis. The crisis has forced a lot of businesses to evaluate their current UNIX infrastructure.

Red Hat Enterprise Linux used to be a system mostly found on the fringes of the network. Today, it is often found at the centre – running ERP, CRM, databases, middleware and web workloads.
The higher costs of SUN Solaris, HP-UX and AIX are rarely justified.

Redpill Linpro has been migrating workload away from UNIX to Red Hat Enterprise Linux for more than five years. We have a thorough understanding of where and how you can quickly cut your costs.

Results

A migration assessment is a customized engagement that usually takes 5 days to complete.
One day is spent on-site with the customer, mapping the infrastructure and applications.
One week later, one day is spent presenting and discussing the results.

Scope

The assessment discusses these topics:

• OS and virtualization costs
• Migration risks and costs
• Training costs
• Hardware costs
• System and procedural requirements
• Backup
• Storage
• Monitoring, administration and patching
• Performance
• Availability
