Easily Migrate to Oracle Solaris 11 on New SPARC Hardware
We have been working very hard to make it easy for you to migrate your applications to newer, faster SPARC hardware and Oracle Solaris 11. This post provides an overview of the process and the tools that automate the migration.
Migration helps you modernize IT assets, lower infrastructure costs through consolidation, and improve performance. Oracle SPARC T8 servers, SPARC M8 servers, and Oracle SuperCluster M8 Engineered Systems serve as perfect consolidation platforms for migrating legacy workloads running on old systems. Applications migrated to faster hardware and Oracle Solaris 11 will automatically deliver better performance without requiring any architecture or code changes.
You can migrate your operating environment and applications using both physical-to-virtual (P2V) and virtual-to-virtual (V2V) tools. The target environment can either be configured with Oracle VM for SPARC (LDoms) or Oracle Solaris Zones on the new hardware. You can also migrate to the Dedicated Compute Classic -
