HP's Solaris-To-Linux Migration Improves IT Performance

Many analysts agree that the continuing growth of Linux signals the beginning of the end of proprietary hardware/software as the sole solution for high-end computing. Increasingly, enterprises that use proprietary platforms such as Sun's Solaris are seeking lower-cost alternatives that provide equal or better performance without limiting future growth or the range of hardware and software choices.
Many Sun customers, having already amortized much of their hardware, are now facing a choice between a continued investment in an inflexible proprietary system and a transition to an environment with lower costs, multiple sources of hardware and software, and comparable performance. Uncertainties surrounding such a transition include application incompatibility, concerns about cost and timeframes for project completion, and potential performance loss.
This paper examines the reasons Sun users should consider migrating their data processing and network operations to HP ProLiant systems running Linux, as well as the advantages of HP's migration services. HP's proven Solaris-to-Linux migration program yields highly scalable systems that deliver unprecedented price/performance ratios. HP's comprehensive porting services make Solaris-to-Linux migration less time-consuming and significantly more affordable than many IT decision-makers assume.
