S7 Software Solutions Pvt. Ltd launches its in-house migration and porting toolLinux-it
Redmond, WA, April 6, 2006- S7 Software Solutions today announced the launch oftheir new porting and migration tool  Linux-itÂ'. Based on a deterministic approach,Linux-it is a suite of tools to port applications to Linux [Redhat, SuSE etc] fromSun Solaris, HP, SGI, SCO, and AIX. It comprises of Parser, Wrapper and Converterprograms and provides a better porting decision by estimating the porting and costcomplexity even before the porting process begins.
It also automates the possible porting tasks and reduces time and developmenteffort. With Linux-it, clients get both tools and a methodology to move to the Linuxenvironment. It relies upon a set of scripts and tools to achieve efficiency andproductivity improvements in the process of migration. While the scripts identifythe possible porting issues, the tools actually generate part of the migration code.
 Linux-it helps in giving a  deterministic and  tool-based approach for theporting and migration process. It lets one know in advance whether porting ispossible or not by modules thereby, providing a roadmap and estimation to customersregarding the Linux migration. This consequently reduces the time, developmenteffort to as much as 30-40% as the migration is done by the tool itself and removesthe probability factor and gives the break-up of the porting efforts. This toolreduce costs and time to market and gives the customer a significantly higher ReturnOn Investment (ROI), said Mr. Manjunath M Gowda, CEO, S7 Software Solutions
Linux-it can effortlessly perform the following porting and migration tasks-
 Less critical server migration (like file servers, print servers, mail servers,intranet web servers, firewalls servers, DNS servers etc)  Application server platform and application migration of non-critical applications  Application server platform and application migration of critical businessapplications  Database server migration to Linux OS - keeping the database same  Database server migration to Linux OS, along with migration of database to an opensource db like MySQL
The tool provides an integrated end-to-end solution that covers aspects like portinganalysis, effort estimation and actual migration to the target Linux environmentwhere any professional team can ensure that the system testing with the newenvironment is completed and successfully deployed.
