Middleware Migration Case Study: Moving from Unix and Entera to Linux
and NXTera!

Meet Jane.!

She’s a director of infrastructure at a major bank.!

She works with a great team and it’s a really cool job (most of the time).!

Her team manages a strategic trading system that is built on Borland Entera
middleware.!

It is a great application – and the bank is very happy with it.!
![Page 7: Middleware Migration Case Study: Moving from Unix and Entera to Linux and NXTera](https://reader033.vdocuments.net/reader033/viewer/2022060110/55614f2dd8b42a8a7d8b4e44/html5/thumbnails/7.jpg)
But the UNIX operating system the trading system and the databases Jane’s app depend
on are old!
![Page 8: Middleware Migration Case Study: Moving from Unix and Entera to Linux and NXTera](https://reader033.vdocuments.net/reader033/viewer/2022060110/55614f2dd8b42a8a7d8b4e44/html5/thumbnails/8.jpg)
And soon support for the operating system will be ended as Jane’s vendor moves on to
newer technologies.!
![Page 9: Middleware Migration Case Study: Moving from Unix and Entera to Linux and NXTera](https://reader033.vdocuments.net/reader033/viewer/2022060110/55614f2dd8b42a8a7d8b4e44/html5/thumbnails/9.jpg)
This is a problem. It is more expensive and risky to run important applications, like Jane’s, on operating systems and databases that are
out of service.!
![Page 10: Middleware Migration Case Study: Moving from Unix and Entera to Linux and NXTera](https://reader033.vdocuments.net/reader033/viewer/2022060110/55614f2dd8b42a8a7d8b4e44/html5/thumbnails/10.jpg)
Recently, management mandated that all applications be re-hosted on newer Linux
platforms and set a deadline. !
![Page 11: Middleware Migration Case Study: Moving from Unix and Entera to Linux and NXTera](https://reader033.vdocuments.net/reader033/viewer/2022060110/55614f2dd8b42a8a7d8b4e44/html5/thumbnails/11.jpg)
But Jane wasn’t sure how to get that done in the time she had.!
![Page 12: Middleware Migration Case Study: Moving from Unix and Entera to Linux and NXTera](https://reader033.vdocuments.net/reader033/viewer/2022060110/55614f2dd8b42a8a7d8b4e44/html5/thumbnails/12.jpg)
Jane evaluated her options. She considered re-engineering the application with new middleware but it was expensive, time consuming and there were too many unknowns for her to be sure
she could meet the deadline.!
![Page 13: Middleware Migration Case Study: Moving from Unix and Entera to Linux and NXTera](https://reader033.vdocuments.net/reader033/viewer/2022060110/55614f2dd8b42a8a7d8b4e44/html5/thumbnails/13.jpg)
She also considered rewriting the application but from experience she knew that was even more expensive, time consuming and risky than re-engineering. What if they spent all that
time and it didn’t work?!
![Page 14: Middleware Migration Case Study: Moving from Unix and Entera to Linux and NXTera](https://reader033.vdocuments.net/reader033/viewer/2022060110/55614f2dd8b42a8a7d8b4e44/html5/thumbnails/14.jpg)
Finally, Jane decided that porting the application as it was to LINUX and upgrading Entera would be
the ideal solution. !
![Page 15: Middleware Migration Case Study: Moving from Unix and Entera to Linux and NXTera](https://reader033.vdocuments.net/reader033/viewer/2022060110/55614f2dd8b42a8a7d8b4e44/html5/thumbnails/15.jpg)
An upgrade would require the fewest changes and would allow her to work with what she had. She just wasn’t sure how to do it.
![Page 16: Middleware Migration Case Study: Moving from Unix and Entera to Linux and NXTera](https://reader033.vdocuments.net/reader033/viewer/2022060110/55614f2dd8b42a8a7d8b4e44/html5/thumbnails/16.jpg)
That’s when Jane turned to eCube Systems and NXTera, eCube’s authorized replacement for Entera. It provided the middleware plug-
and-play compatibility Jane needed. !
![Page 17: Middleware Migration Case Study: Moving from Unix and Entera to Linux and NXTera](https://reader033.vdocuments.net/reader033/viewer/2022060110/55614f2dd8b42a8a7d8b4e44/html5/thumbnails/17.jpg)
Swapping Entera for NXTera was faster and cheaper than a rewrite or re-engineering.
eCube, who had experience working on similar projects, helped her plan, manage and
implement the upgrade with her team and outsourcing partners. !

Jane was able to meet her deadline without any disruption to her other work and the
application.!
![Page 19: Middleware Migration Case Study: Moving from Unix and Entera to Linux and NXTera](https://reader033.vdocuments.net/reader033/viewer/2022060110/55614f2dd8b42a8a7d8b4e44/html5/thumbnails/19.jpg)
The result was a NXTera-based trading application that ran faster and better on
Linux- with modern integration capabilities and lower operating costs.!
![Page 20: Middleware Migration Case Study: Moving from Unix and Entera to Linux and NXTera](https://reader033.vdocuments.net/reader033/viewer/2022060110/55614f2dd8b42a8a7d8b4e44/html5/thumbnails/20.jpg)
Jane’s managers were delighted with the outcome – and happy she’d thought of it.!
![Page 21: Middleware Migration Case Study: Moving from Unix and Entera to Linux and NXTera](https://reader033.vdocuments.net/reader033/viewer/2022060110/55614f2dd8b42a8a7d8b4e44/html5/thumbnails/21.jpg)
Delight your managers: modernize your platforms, re-host your applications on Linux,
upgrade your middleware to NXTera and ultimately improve application performance while reducing your costs and risks with
eCube.!
