  2. REASONS FOR LINUX

  3. Industry Trends • In 2009, IDC predicted UNIX market would go from • $69 BN in 2008 towards $75 BN in 2013. • In 2013, IDC predicted UNIX market would slide from • $10 BN in 2012 towards $8.7 BN in 2017. ...What happened?

  4. Linux Today • 90% of High-performance computing (HPC) market. • 65% of smart mobile devices, 55% of embedded systems. • 90% of OS migrations are from UNIX, more than 50% are landing on linux systems. • 15-20% of organizations have some legacy UNIX misc apps.

  5. Trends in 2015 HOW ARE WE GOING TO ADAPT IN FUTURE? • Evolution of Work • Virtual lab environments • GitHub, Laravel • Mobility and Internet of Everything • Security • LAMP • Software Defined Everything • Virtual Compute • Big Data • In memory databases (TimesTen, 12g) • Distributed (Hadoop, MapReduce, NoSQL)

  6. MITIGATING RISKS

  7. Checklist to Mitigate Risks • Discovery • Documentation • Strategy • Portability • Preparation • Testing Data Migrations

  8. REWARDS

  9. Business Transformation Financial services firm divestiture become new free-standing entity from AIX to Linux • Complete IT Landscape migration inclusive of an AIX to Enterprise Linux migration for all critical applications as it was divesting from parent group. • All servers, WAN, & several hundred applications. • SAP, CA IDM, CA SiteMinder, CA Service Desk, BlueCat, Bluecoat, AxWay, Layer7, Active Directory, RedHat, VMWare, Oracle, Windows Server 2008, MS SQL, MySQL, Data Domain, Cognos, Drupal, F5, Juniper, Sophos, DNS, SharePoint, Symantec, JBoss • Migrated 3000+ Lotus Notes users to Microsoft Exchange 2010 • All applications under Disaster Recovery management Savings of $28M over 3 years
