Migrating Databases From Sun Systems to Dell Servers Running Microsoft Windows Server 2003

Overview Enterprises migrating mission-critical applications from proprietary UNIX systems to industry-standard platforms such as the Dell PowerEdge 6650 server can increase performance and availability and reduce costs. To demonstrate the ease and benefits of migrating from Sun Solaris-based servers, Dell engineers moved a large (100 GB) database - representing an online DVD store application and running on a leading enterprise database manager - from a four-processor Sun Fire V440 server running Solaris 9 to a four-processor Dell PowerEdge 6650 server running the Microsoft Windows Server 2003 operating system.
