SBS Migration - Microsoft Small Business Server Migration Firm

Best Practices for a SBS 2008 Migration

Advantages of a "Swing Migration"

• Produces a clean server offsite with no loss of the Active Directory contents
• Same Domain Name, Server Name, Hardware Replacement is Optional
• Includes Option to move the Exchange Information Store Intact
• Exchange Server runs continuously with as little as 1 hr down-time
• Zero out desktop profile change issues entirely; they don’t occur.
• We can perform the upgrade in hours (or weeks if you want) – It’s an open timeline
• We can perform the entire server preparation in advance, including 3rd party applications before we do data transfer. This allows for ample user acceptance testing.
• We can perform the upgrade during the week without affecting the business
• We can work efficiently and without affecting our customers' business.
• Optimize time use and maximize progress per hour of effort invested.
• Minimizes production risk introduced by the migration process; no major modifications to the production server; no special disaster recovery prep
• Have “nothing to do” for an Undo.

Advantages to our Clients:

• Save money because the upgrade project is simpler, more predictable
• Have minimal business downtime, as little as 1-3 hrs., not a weekend, not a day.
• Have the confidence of an operational server running at all times in the process.
• Achieves business productivity without snags.  This puts an end to confusing user desktop changes with server updates. It saves money, ends the surprises, makes this transparent to your staff, so there is less disruption or retraining issues.
• Have "nothing to do" for an Undo.
