Determining application migration options

Creating application migration roadmap

Application discovery and collection

• Business criticality (frequency of use, size of user base, supported business

process)• Deriving consequence factor of failure

• Technology complexity (dependencies, fragility, understandability of the app)• Deriving probability of failure

• Sizing (how many systems, data volumes, storage size, other volumetric

requirements)• Deriving effort of migration

• HA/DR/BCP (continuity plans, availability requirements, backup/restore

requirements)• Deriving pre- and post-migration effort (cost of support and keeping the app current)
