Targets

What Are My Target Options?

Existing Windows Server 2003 applications can go to:

• Replace the server hardware (Windows Server 2012 R2)

• Virtualize on a new server

• Relocate to a cloud service (Azure IaaS)

Windows Server 2012 R2

Virtualize – Hyper-V

• Save energy costs

• Reduce data center footprint

• Faster server provisioning

• Increase uptime

• Improve disaster recovery

• Improve application isolation

• Help move to the cloud!

Cloud Service – Azure IaaS

• Highly available

• Highly scalable and elastic

• Hybrid service and

application infrastructure

capability

• Robust dashboard for

health metrics

• Enterprise grade

Decommission

• Servers identified in assessment as running by

application not used anymore

• Shut down orphaned server

• Remove from your data center

• Recycle old hardware

Application Migrations- Server 2003 To

Server 2012 & Azure

Terry Walsh

Area Sales Director

AppZero

[email protected]

Perficient AppZero Value Prop To Customer

• Accelerate migration timeframes – get to a

newer supported OS faster

• Lower cost – provide migration automation,

eliminate costly labor intensive migrations

• Lower risk – enterprises have apps where

there is little to no knowledge of the app, no

source, no media – how do you move

successfully?

Enterprise Application Migration

AppZero does for apps what VMs do for machines

VAA

AppZero extracts existing enterprise applications and packages them

into VAAs that can be provisioned and run natively on any OS,

machine or cloud, fast.

Today’s migration options

• Manual installation/scripting – Often the only way to get applications onto a hosted service (until now)

– Very labor intensive, expensive, and takes a long time

• Virtual Machines (P2V or V2V) – Requires manual remediation of hostname/IP in the application

– Does not address different OS migration

– Does not address different security, back-up, monitoring migrations

– Slow to migrate; VAA 10 to 100 times smaller/faster to move

– MSP and PaaS destinations only want the app/middleware

• AppZero’s extraction, transformation and rehosting– App migration is more flexible; change OS, security, monitoring, etc.

– Fastest way to move enterprise applications (minutes vs. days)

– De-risk migrating production applications to the cloud

good

better

Best!

Today’s migration options

• Why not Manual installation?

– Significant Prep Time• Source code MIA, Poor installation documentation

• Vendor’s out of business, developers no longer work at company

– Installing Server Side Applications is hard• IT really doesn’t know anything about the application

• Very labor intensive, expensive, and takes a long time

– Disrupts the Business

• What about VM-import tools?

– Virtual Machines (P2V or V2V) • Does not address different OS migration

• Slow to migrate; VAA 10 to 100 times smaller/faster to move

Migration Automation

AppZero’s PACE provides a factory approach to migration enabling a

single Systems Engineer to migrate multiple sources in a single session

Assessment and Discovery

• Inventories applications and app

components across multiple machines

• Generates output in open CSV and

XML formats

• Integrates with other discovery tools

like TADDM, ADDM and SI and

enterprise-specific migration

management portals

Migration

• Parallelizes multiple application migrations

across source servers

• Minimizes downtime by pre-extracting app

components

• Migrates only those application that are

selected by the user

• Prebuilds VAA in advance of app

downtime window

Near-Zero Downtime Migration

Source

Destination

• Partial migration of app complete with a majority

of static files moved to destination

• Extract while source applications are running

• All artifacts are migrated to the destination with

the exception of those that are locked DBFs

Pre-Populate VAA

EXEs Config EXEs Config

• A generalized application source and destination

re-synchronization set of features

newer or have been created on destination

Considerations / Limitations

Avoid infrastructure/OS Apps:

−16 bits apps

− AD controller

− Exchange / Sharepoint

− Antivirus

− Backup

− System level tools (debuggers)

− Internet Explorer

− (*) SAP

Pain to do:

−Apps with proprietary kernel drivers (i.e printers)requires Appzero support

The good

• The good are apps that we have tested or

customers/partners have tested. Scripting

might be required.

– Custom and proprietary apps

– 3rd party packaged applications

– JEE, Java middleware, JSE app

– IIS, .NET, .ASP

– Open source: PHP, Python, WAMP

– DB Server: Oracle, MSSQL, DB2, Sybase

– Desktop apps
