I'm not sure how complex this tool is, but migrating platforms isn't any easy task. I just finished migrating from a SCO Unix sytem to a RehHat Linux AS system last month and there's still issues with scripting and configurations that have yet to be resolved. I know any sort of migration tool would have been great, but I doubt it would have found most of the issues that arose. |

These migration offers are something of a routine. Every once in a while one of the Big Three (IBM/HP/Sun) makes an offer to lure over some disgruntled users from the competition. PanicX is quite right, platform migration is no easy task, but that is not something that can be said in a press release, is it? Sun will gladly help you migrate from AIX, Tru64 or HP-UX to Solaris, HP will give you a hand if you want to ditch Solaris and embrace HP-UX, IBM says it's no problem if you want to move from Tru64 or Solaris to Linux or AIX.. |
