During the Design phase, you'll create the plan to transition from AS/400 servers to Integrity servers or blades, and transfer your applications. These tasks will be supported by HP and INFINITE Software. Key elements of the transition plan include
- Creating a plan and schedule for recompiling your existing source code
- Defining business requirements for updating your user screens
- Defining reporting and information distribution requirements
- Sizing the systems to address your workload requirements, using HP reference architectures and solution block designs as starting points
- Clustering workloads so that Integrity virtualization can help you improve utilization
- Identify the tools and methods you'll use to move your data and applications to the target servers
- Establish the timeframe and key milestones.
- This stage can include proof-of-concept work with subsets of data to verify that your design will meet your business objectives.
HP has developed tools and techniques that help customers design a smooth, low risk, transition to
HP Integrity servers. HP and HP authorized resellers can assist you to design your transition plan.
