Introduction
Our physical infrastructure is currently Linux hosted on 3Tera's AppLogic. Our long term plan is to migrate to VMWare because it has recently become the city's standard virtualization environment. We anticipate that the city will have the capacity to host VMWare applications by Q2 2011. Here is my best guess on the timeline that we'll need to follow in order to host EAS here at the city using VMWare by Q2.
Migration To VMWare
November 1 - 12 2010
Move from 3Tera to Carinet and terminate contract with 3Tera/CA Technologies.
This amounts to a change in service providers.
We will still be using Linux on AppLogic.
This is complete.
Migrate virtual infrastructure from AppLogic to VMWare.
November 15 2010 - March 11 2011
Here we rebuild our three linux VMs in VMWare.
See the architecture diagram below for a bit more detail on these three machines.
We will still be hosted by Carinet.
We expect to go into production while we are on Carinet.
Migrate to City's virtual infrastructure.
June 2011
Here we will copy the virtual machines from Carinet to the city's infrastructure.
There will be some additional work to do in the context of the production environment.
