In an environment where IT costs are being closely monitored and there is a critical need for more flexibility, LINUX is becoming an increasingly attractive platform. Many securities firms are seriously considering migration of large parts of their IT infrastructure (including their mission critical applications) to LINUX, even as growing support from distributors and established technology firms is increasing portability across a range of platforms.

While LINUX offers the potential for significant savings based on software licensing costs and hardware expenses, the risk of migrating from proprietary operating platforms and legacy systems is not to be under-estimated, and there is a significant risk of failure.

Enterux's Server/LINUX Migration offering helps organization migrate from their current proprietary Operating System/ platforms to LINUX based platforms in a phased and de-risked manner.

With this consulting practice, our clients get a roadmap and the tools to move to the LINUX environment in a phased and calibrated manner so that risk is minimized, without having to sacrifice any of the significant parameters.

Its an integrated end-to-end solution that covers aspects like capacity planning, effort estimation, actual migration to the target LINUX environment, system testing of the new environment, rolling to production followed by system administration of the new environment.

It relies upon a set of scripts and tools to achieve efficiency and productivity improvements in the process of migration. While the scripts identify the possible porting issues, the tools actually generate part of the migration code. These are developed in shell and are portable to any platform.

Based on our extensive experience with server-to-server and cross-platform migration we have built in-house competencies and tools for offering a comprehensive migration solution.

Various phases of adoption are:

• Non-application less critical server migration (like file servers, print servers, mail servers, intranet web servers, firewalls servers, DNS server etc)
• Application server platform and application migration of non critical applications
• Application server platform and application migration of critical business applications
• Database server migration to LINUX OS - keeping the database same
• Database server migration to Linux OS, along with migration of database to an open source db like MySQL
• Expanding and scaling up the new Linux based Infrastructure to a Grid Computing environment, thus utilizing your IT infrastructure to its fullest
