Migrating Oracle Database 10g From Sun Servers to Dell Servers

Overview Oracle Database 10g, the latest version of Oracle Database, is designed to make database migration from one platform to another easy. To better understand this process, a team of Dell engineers migrated a 100 GB Oracle database from a Sun server running the Sun Solaris operating system to a Dell PowerEdge server running either the Microsoft Windows Server 2003 operating system (OS) or the Red Hat Enterprise Linux OS. This paper explains the details and best practices involved in successful Oracle database migrations.
