When Migrating to <strong>Red</strong> <strong>Hat</strong> Linux…<br />
Challenges…<br />
• Byte order conversion of the data (Convert from Big Endian <br />
Little Endian)<br />
• Significant time necessary to transfer the very large Oracle data<br />
files between systems (from SPARC to Linux)<br />
How <strong>Symantec</strong> can help…<br />
• <strong>Symantec</strong> & <strong>Red</strong> <strong>Hat</strong> provide an advanced solution for<br />
migrating both structured <strong>and</strong> unstructured data from Solaris<br />
SPARC to <strong>Red</strong> <strong>Hat</strong> Linux<br />
• Once migrated to Linux, together <strong>Symantec</strong> & <strong>Red</strong> <strong>Hat</strong> enable<br />
enterprise solutions for robust day-to-day operations of<br />
business critical applications

Demonstration
Key Benefits: Seamless Migrations across OS Platforms &<br />
Storage Arrays<br />
Low Downtime Server Migrations<br />
Online Storage Migrations<br />
• Migrate apps & data in minutes, not days<br />
• Never move the data, simply deport & import<br />
• When migrating unstructured data : No platform,<br />
processor or byte-order concerns<br />
• When migrating structured data (i.e. Oracle) : No<br />
platform or processor concerns for when byteorder<br />
is the same across both platforms<br />
• Online <strong>and</strong> centrally managed<br />
• Across Storage Tiers<br />
• Across Vendors<br />
• Across Any Distance

Mission-Critical Application Availability Challenges<br />
• Disaster Recovery (DR) is essential for<br />
mission-critical applications<br />
• Organizations need to meet SLAs (RPO <strong>and</strong> RTO)<br />
• Important DR testing can be very disruptive<br />
• Data replication alone doesn’t solve the problem<br />
• Manual restarting of applications can cause SLA failure<br />
• Managing multiple HA/DR tools from different vendors can be<br />
cumbersome <strong>and</strong> difficult to automate
