“Migration” Definitions

Definition 1 -- moving from your non-IBM current systems to an IBM Power Systems

Definition 2 -- making a major shift or upgrade off current environment (OS/Infrastructure/Database/Custom Application Code/ISV) and to a newer generation/type of environment – starting on and staying on existing Power Systems platform or its predecessor

Definition 3 – making a less major shift to a newer technology. Example moving from an older generation of hardware/software to a new generation

Customer Concerns about Migration

Question:“What do you think about when confronted with a migration?”

Answer:“I don’t think… I worry.”

What Migration Risks Concern Customers?

Are the required resources available?• How will the existing systems administration and application

development team skills be transitioned?• How will retraining be performed?

Skills and Culture

How well will it work?• How will the migrated workload be tested?• Will the performance and reliability meet business requirements?• Will it work the same way on the target platform or will changes in

customer, supplier or user interfaces be required?

Operational

Can it be done on time?• How much downtime will be required for transition?• When can the business support this change?

Schedule

Can it be done within the budget?• How will the migration cost be funded?• Does the business case have a positive ROI?

Cost

Can it be done?• Are required ISV products available on the target platform?• What differences need to be addressed such as application APIs,

threading and data formats?• Are there tools available to help minimize the complexity and risk?

Migration Options From IBM

Full Service Migration– IBM owns the project and client provides

resources to assist

Migration Workshop– Client owns the project and IBM provides a

workshop to assist

Third Party Integrator– IBM will assist the client in finding a migration

partner



10

What Initial Programs Does The Migration Factory Offer?

No-charge or Very Low-charge Assessments– Custom Code– Databases– ERP systems

Server Makeovers– Lightweight high level consolidation/migration analysis

SAP and Oracle Makeovers– Lightweight high level analysis for

selected environments Migration Factory “In a Box” (MiaB) Proof of Concept (PoC)



11

Migration Factory Best Practices

Utilize tools wherever possible — standard UNIX tools, commercial tools, vendor supplied tools and migration-factory custom tools

Reuse code where ever possible, recode only when necessary

For custom applications migrate like for like, bugs as well!

Code synchronizations available for new development and defect fixes

ISV applications and databases can be upgraded to new versions as part of the migration process



12

Migration Factory Best Practices

Test, test, test…then test again!An integral part of our methodology — it provides the roadmap to success.

Testing practices– Verify against an established baseline– Unit, system and acceptance tests– Use customer-based testing suites

whenever possible

The Migration Factory’s investment in skills, methodology & tools combined with significant project experience has let to the creation of a suite of pre-defined Migration Factory in a Box (MiaB) services

Each of the MiaBs is based on a set of pre-determined assumptions, constraints and scope criteria that define the ‘Box’

IBM Global Resources are offered as a lower-cost option to reduce price to the Customer

Price of each MiaB can thus be optimized for IBM client.

Assessments The First Step in the Migration Process



23

The Assessment Process

The Assessment is key to understanding the technical and business requirements in order to develop the migration approach and success criteria as well as a successful sales strategy.

Each stage of this proven “blueprint” process is designed to build upon the previous stage and move seamlessly into the next.

All of the components to be migrated must be identified and their complexity understood so that price and risk can be minimized to acceptable levels.

Use of tools, and years of experience that have been embodied in the methodologies, eases the path to the new platform.

Testing is an integral part of the methodology — it is not a negotiable item.



24

How Long Do Assessments Take?

Will vary depending on the source and target platforms, amount of application code to be migrated, the number of databases to be migrated, the number of ISV products, interfaces, testing, etc.

Will vary on client’s ability to provide information Remote assessment versus on-site Quality and timeliness of the information

the customer can/will supply
