Thread: Plan a Linux Migration

If you've got zero in-house Linux talent, you'll need a consultant for this phase¬but then you'll need her again later any¬way. Just be sure to keep a cost tally. The initial migration round needs to examine your current infrastructure and figure out where Linux will make the most sense out of the gate.

Microsoft Exchange costs way too high? Maybe a Linux-based Scalix server is a better way to go. Is SQL Server spreading across your server farm like a creeping fungus? You'll repeat this evaluation with every server in your data closet.
