Unix to Linux Migration
Are you frustrated with the price/performance of proprietary UNIX solutions? Are you seeking to take advantage of the multi-vendor, low-cost, high performance environment provided by Intel's x86 hardware and Red Hat Enterprise Linux? By migrating from UNIX to Red Hat Enterprise Linux, you can:
- Improve application performance, for enhanced response times for customer care and business critical operations.
- Lower the total cost of IT operations, by replacing proprietary UNIX systems with low-cost, commodity Intel hardware.
- Leverage existing IT skills you already have, because of the close technology kinship of UNIX and Linux.
- Enhance system security and scalability on an Intel platform.
Red Hat, Intel and our global ecosystem of ISV and hardware partners can provide you with comprehensive solutions for migrations from UNIX to Red Hat Enterprise Linux. The building blocks of a successful migration include:
Consulting
