Evaluation and migration of individual software on current server and development environment
Project duration: 7 months
Brief description
Modernization of the existing hardware and software to the latest possible status. Evaluation of the development environment in question, in coordination with server planning conducted in parallel. The evaluating includes checking all external components for migration capability. Verification of the results is carried out virtual machines. In addition, the scope of data for the migration duration is calculated on the server side, including dependencies. Scheduling a fallback to legacy systems in case of a problem. Support in data migration, relaunch of the migrated applications and webpages, as well as going productive. Documentation of all evaluation, installation and migration steps.
Supplement
The hardware and software is up to 10 years old, the migration is carried out because various support contracts have come to an end. The individual software is implemented in .NET or ASP.NET in 32-bit format, and comprises about one dozen specialist applications which are implemented as Windows services. Equally, many external components from external providers and self-developed components are used. The same applies to several webpages. The new 64-bit development environment must provide further support for the existing project types and deployment processes, and be able to run on the new server landscape. Database migration and access to the database are taken into account. In order to carry out the migration, there is a moderate reorganization of the source texts as well as reprogramming by components to be replaced. A complete function test ensures future operation.
