Planning an application migration project is similar to the writing a good news story. The basic facts are needed before telling the story or plan the migration. In a migration history, applications are the star. We hope that no journalist tells a story without all the facts, like the IOC hopes no migration or virtual deployment begins without a clear idea of the facts on the application and use of the company
-. What are the applications in? Company
- Who uses these applications
- Where do they use? Germany, Japan, Brazil
- When do they use? - In a permanent desk in the office, at a Hotdesk in a regional sales office in an airport
- Why do they use these applications? Specifically, why do they use this version of this app? Are there multiple versions of applications floating around the company that could be consolidated? Is it possible to upgrade, or do users need this edition and the version for another reason
- How they use these applications? Are they only to a PC, or perhaps in a virtual desktop or mobile device?
For many organizations, mapping applications, users, devices, and use case is a challenge. Some organizations try spreadsheets, whiteboards, online sites, handwritten notes or project plans to follow up the application ever-changing landscape. They rely on the best information Guess the line of business owners, user surveys or even walk to each PC to find what applications can be in the organization and on which machines.
How about automate the process? With the Citrix Desktop Transformation Accelerator, companies can access a free trial of 60 days costs from Lakeside Software to identify what users and devices access applications, how often and from where. Lakeside data may show applications that the user may have installed. Applications Lakeside data can be read by the software platform migration to Citrix AppDNA applications and the AppDNA software, combined with IT-managed on information gathered from Microsoft System Center Configuration Manager and Active Directory. The result of this first step is a clear picture to better determine what happens with applications in the organization.
Even after a few days of data collection with the trial Lakeside, it is clear picture of how applications are being used - or not used. Are there duplicate applications in the organization or many versions of the same software running across the organization?
A plan can be created to determine which applications should be migrated. Organizations often spend a lot of time worrying about applications that are underutilized and not enough time focusing on applications that can be widely used. Detailed reports show real facts of use
The AppDNA software provides automated application and sanitation tests to assess how applications can be better provided -. Perhaps through a new operating system like Windows 7 or virtually deployed via a virtual desktop like XenDesktop. Delivering the most used by the warriors of the road in a virtual format available on mobile devices or virtual desktops applications, go stick it in the traditional deployment for applications that are both used by incumbent workers and are easily migrated to a new operating system.
The AppDNA software also provides unique options modeling forward way to show how groups of applications could be deployed. Does the finance department of providing a deployment of purely traditional operating system or specific applications are the appropriate finance for virtual deployment? Is a human resources application Windows XP-based delicate will fail on Windows 7? If so, can it be delivered to the same group of users to virtual desktops
It is now easier than ever to gather all the facts necessary to plan a migration history - and to predict end of the story . Desktop Transformation Accelerator see and trial Lakeside toll. Sign up for a test drive version without the burden of AppDNA application migration software here.
