Linux Migration
We understand that organization migration to linux is a big decision and requires rigorous planning to succeed. The goal of Linux migration is not just replacement of Windows or any OS with Linux rather it aims at providing cost-effective, better response to organization's current and future needs
NetHawk's way for Linux Migration:
We follow best-practices for Linux migration. Currently we have been successfully using MIGRATION MAPPING APPROACH it takes three steps to finish with entire process.
- 1- Environment assessment:
-
Most typical way to assess organization's IT environment by running auditing and usage program on its network to find out following things;
- Which application software is in most use and what is critical to departments for example accounting software for finance department
- Which hardware is already installed and what is the life cycle of that hardware?
- What is the inventory of the IT skills of both organization's staff and its IT staff?
- Who will be involved in managing IT operations during and after migration?
- 2- Design the Solution:
-
Designing the solution entirely aims at providing fast, secure and painless Linux migration to meet organization's needs that is why findings of first step (Environment Assessment) Determines the nature of Solution.
The typical way to develop a solution is to go through process of choosing windows applications alternates available in Linux. Usually alternate or better applications are available in Linux
For example
Applications Linux Windows Web Browsing FireFox Internet Explorer Email Evolution or Thunderbird Outlook Express Office Productivity Suit OpenOffice.org Ms-Office Project Management Project Management Ms-project Accounting Gnucash Quick books Picture Editing GIMP Photoshop Total Licience Fee Rs 0.00 Choosing common applications alternate like Office, Browsers etc is very easy since we provide Enterprise-level linux distribution which mean your linux Desktop would already have applications by default to do most typle tasks.
In case if application of windows is not available in Linux then we consider Emulators such as Wine, Vmware to run Windows applications on Linux.
- 3- Setup:
-
An organizational hardware and software matrix is established every piece of software and hardware that is going to be installed on machine is virtually tested at this point.
In actual setup designed solution is implemented. It includes preparation, installation, configuration, customization, and optimization.
Support: Part of after-sales-services Support is optional we provide world-class entreprise level linux support , which include incident management, problem management and upgradations.
