The client is a college and they are needing to transfer legacy student data to the new server.- What data are you planning to transfer to the ProLiant DL380 Gen12?On the old HP DS25, it is running OpenVMS that contains historical student records dating back decades. On OpenVMS there is a legacy software for administrative and Student Information System called POISE- Which operating system will be running on the target system (Windows, Linux, or something else)?They are fine with using any operating system on the new server. They are currently running VMware on some newer systems (especially from the old DS25).But ultimately, they have even migrated from this “newer” hardware to a cloud data hosting solution called Ellucian Colleague Cloud.- What format is the data currently stored in?More than likely, it is some sort of file-level data- Are you planning a simple data migration, or are you looking to preserve and run the existing OpenVMS environment ?They want to secure a dependable copy, backup, virtual machine, or file-level replication of the legacy system and data before the hardware fails, without immediately attempting a full data transformation- Are you evaluating a migration to a native OpenVMS x86-64 environment?All options are on the table! Whatever solution makes the most sense for preserving the data and moving it to a new DL380 or to a cloud environment. I am wondering whether your goal is actually to virtualize the DS25 environment on a Windows or Linux host. If so:- Which virtualization or emulation product are you considering?All options are on the table! Whatever solution makes the most sense for preserving the data and moving it to a new DL380 or to a cloud environment.If there is an option for virtualizing the environment, there would have to be some way to connect the legacy system to the network. Currently it is not connected.
