  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

  10. Global Auto Supplier Transformed THE DECISION: Migration, Ability to Deploy and Provision Quickly, Quality of Service • $16B automotive systems supplier needed to transition from their previous provider in a matter of weeks due to a canceled contract with that provider. Migration for cost, quality of service and speed! • Re-platform, Migration, Modernization. • Double digit % savings over past provider. • Delivered HFM and Planning in less than 4 weeks to support aggressive timelines. • Secure-24 was able to stand up 32 servers in 3 days – a feat previous provider would have taken months to accomplish. ROI 32 servers in 3 days

  11. Rewards • Save direct 15-20% over traditional UNIX environments. • Modern future protection. • 12-month ROI, many indirect gains. • Availability of support and talent. • Less time on basic infrastructure, more focus on business-level value.
