Leaving XP Behind – For Good
The Challenges, Opportunities & Tools Available to Enable Your Vision
The End of XP Support
•Support ends on April 8, 2014
•The cost of support afterwards (approx):
• Sign up to Premier support $60k+• Enrol in XP support = $60k+• Hot fixes will cost $50k+ per fix.
Many 32 Bit applications that need migration will need to run in an emulation mode on a 64 Bit platform
App testing and Vendor information requires research
Short term financial and organisational effort required
Previous failed attempts or assessment make process seem burdensome
Potential large investment in application compatibility assessment
Perception of very large percentage or manual intervention required
Program of work and default actions for incompatible applications needs to be developed
Leaving XP Behind - the Challenges
Choose an over-all strategy
Side-by-side migration
• Move user data from one computer to another OR
• Move user data from one partition to another
Wipe-and-load migration
• Windows 8.1 Upgrade Assistant
• Export user data to an external storage device
• Clean install
• Import user data
Inventory of systems and applications central to success
User state data – temporary storage required and rationalisation before migration is wise

The Data Storage Challenge
• Much company data is inactive.
• Tier 1 applications tend to keep data active for much longer than Tier 2 applications.
• Inactive data takes up 70% or more of the total storage capacity.
Cloud-integrated storage CiS
Combines on-premises SAN storage with the ability to store, access and manage data in cloud storage services
Integrates SAN storage and cloud data management on a highly-available platform
CiS systems streamline data protection processes such as backup and DR
One of the storage applications for CiS is using cloud storage as a tier to store inactive data
CiS - Freeing up Space

CiS systems reduce the cost of disaster recovery
A single CiS system can be a spare for other sites
CiS systems restore data from the public cloud using an approach called thin restores – which are much faster than physical or virtual tape recovery processes
Better DR with CiS
