Leaving XP Behind – For Good

The Challenges, Opportunities & Tools Available to Enable Your Vision

The End of XP Support

•Support ends on April 8, 2014

•The cost of support afterwards (approx):

• Sign up to Premier support $60k+• Enrol in XP support = $60k+• Hot fixes will cost $50k+ per fix.

Many 32 Bit applications that need migration will need to run in an emulation mode on a 64 Bit platform

App testing and Vendor information requires research

Short term financial and organisational effort required

Previous failed attempts or assessment make process seem burdensome

Potential large investment in application compatibility assessment

Perception of very large percentage or manual intervention required

Program of work and default actions for incompatible applications needs to be developed

Leaving XP Behind - the Challenges

Choose an over-all strategy

Side-by-side migration

• Move user data from one computer to another OR

• Move user data from one partition to another

Wipe-and-load migration

• Windows 8.1 Upgrade Assistant

• Export user data to an external storage device

• Clean install

• Import user data

Inventory of systems and applications central to success

User state data – temporary storage required and rationalisation before migration is wise

CiS - Cloud integrated Storage

The Data Storage Challenge

• Much company data is inactive.

• Tier 1 applications tend to keep data active for much longer than Tier 2 applications.

• Inactive data takes up 70% or more of the total storage capacity.

Cloud-integrated storage CiS

Combines on-premises SAN storage with the ability to store, access and manage data in cloud storage services

Integrates SAN storage and cloud data management on a highly-available platform

CiS systems streamline data protection processes such as backup and DR

One of the storage applications for CiS is using cloud storage as a tier to store inactive data

CiS - Freeing up Space

CiS systems reduce the cost of disaster recovery

A single CiS system can be a spare for other sites

CiS systems restore data from the public cloud using an approach called thin restores – which are much faster than physical or virtual tape recovery processes

Better DR with CiS
