Proprietary system environments such as Sun/Solaris can cost significantly more to maintain with higher hardware and software costs, specialized training requirements and limited support options. Many barriers exist to migrating critical business applications and databases from these systems to a much more open Linux environment including:

A lack of time and resources to perform the migration internally

Limited or no access to the original source code from the third-party provider; or the    author of custom applications has left the company

No support available for certain applications or databases on Linux

Unacceptable downtime or increased risks for failure of the application or database

SILICON specializes in migration of difficult application environments from Sun/Solaris to Linux by providing you feasibility studies, proof-of-concept, migration planning and complete implementation services where appropriate. Through a consultative approach, we will leverage best practices methodology to deliver a solution that helps you deliver on your business goals to provide an open systems environment that is flexible and affordable.
