Migration Planning

Expert-guided migration to Red Hat Enterprise Linux

What to expect

The duration of a migration planning engagement is based on your specific business needs, with most spanning 2 to 6 months. During the engagement, a Red Hat architect with deep product expertise works with you to define a streamlined migration strategy that encompasses your complete stack.

Red Hat consultants are field-tested Linux veterans who guide you through migration planning and ensure successful new deployments of Red Hat Enterprise Linux. A Red Hat architect helps you:

  • Map your existing ecosystem to a functionally equivalent Red Hat Enterprise Linux ecosystem.

  • Create a Standard Operating Environment (SOE) on which to base your migration.

  • Analyze the portability of your existing business applications.

  • Examine the risks associated with various migration scenarios and create a holistic risk-mitigation plan.

  • Develop a comprehensive migration roadmap tailored to your specific environment.

By involving a consultant early, you get valuable insight into migration best practices. This approach leaves you better equipped to migrate opportunistically so you can:

  • Maximize cost savings and efficiencies as the transition progresses.

  • Speed time to production.

  • Drive return on investment (ROI).

Migrations are multifaceted. And since no 2 migrations are ever the same, understanding your organization’s readiness and current assets is critical.
