The Awareness phase provides a structured approach for transferring applications from HP 9000 to HP Integrity. The path you choose for your transition will be based on factors such as cost, complexity and future business needs. The outcome of the Awareness phase is a decision on next steps, based on a sound business case.
HP resources such as the HP Migration Competency Center provide a powerful set of tools and services to help customers make sound choices. They can help you answer important questions such as these:
- What is the 3-5 year total cost of ownership of staying with the HP 9000 or transferring applications to HP Integrity?
- Will upgrades or version changes be needed to enable a simple transfer to Integrity
- Will applications and custom code compiled for the HP 9000 run unchanged on HP Integrity?
- What is the simplest, lowest risk, lowest cost path to transfer the applications to HP Integrity servers?
- Are there applications which should be maintained on HP 9000 servers for the time being, and then supplanted with brand new applications?
