Red Hat Migration Center

Solaris to Red Hat Enterprise Linux

With Oracle's acquisition of Sun, the heritage of the SPARC platform with Solaris is undergoing a dramatic change--not only in ownership, but in the future viability of the server.

Even if Oracle follows through on their promises and completely embraces the platform with ongoing and future investment, commitment, and expertise, many smart customers have already starting shifting to alternatives or at the very least exploring their options.

Red Hat offers the sensible low-risk, high value alternative. Red Hat Enterprise Linux has been successfully replacing traditional UNIX workloads across the enterprise--reducing operating costs and offering hardware vendor neutrality and increased flexibility for customers large and small across the world.

Red Hat Consulting and Red Hat Training, the two primary arms of the Red Hat Services group, are pleased to present targeted Solaris to Red Hat Enterprise Linux offerings to accelerate and optimize your migration efforts.
