Aquevix Solutions (P) Ltd

To cater to this need, Aquevix offers AqueMigrate services for specialized migration or porting of your applications from one platform to another or one database to another or one language to another. Even switching vendors and moving your code from one vendor product to another.

The Opportunity

Linux today offers a great opportunity to migrate costly UNIX machines to cut costs. However migration can be costly and tedious requiring new expertise and need to support both systems for a while. Further you may need to support compilers that are distinct. Or maybe multiple databases without a common API.

With newer operating systems like Microsoft Vista and with emergence of newer architectures like Service oriented architecture (SOA), companies need to adapt to more robust, more secure systems. Systems that can be safe from internet threats and are adaptive to changing enterprises.

The Problem

To make this happen, it is difficult to find people with extensive knowledge of all these operating systems. Further it is cost prohibitive to hire multiple people to maintain products that work across platform.

Further, without experience of cross platform porting, you may not be aware of all the issues that can steal your show. Issues like pointer sizes or byte alignment or cache word size or compiler optimized parallel execution on true SMP systems. Or as simple as a bug in compiler that can throw off your projects in a blind.

The Solution

AqueMigrate services are customized to meet these, so you don’t have to maintain special teams just for cross platform development or if you have a new platform that needs to be supported. Aquevix provides developers with cross platform development experience to help aid our customers. Aquevix has extensive experience of working with enterprise applications and complex architectures. We understand the need for performance and the need for speed.

Aquevix has individuals with experience of porting applications to more than 50 platforms* at the same time and overall experience of more than 250 platforms*.

*Note: Platform is defined as a OS/compiler combination.

Why would we want to migrate?

There can be numerous reasons to migrate. Some of the reasons we found with our customers are:

Tremendous Cost Advantage

• Moving to a cheaper platform like Linux instead of proprietary Unix
• Moving to Open Source technology like Apache AXIS instead of proprietary components
• Moving to open source databases like Postgresql or simply switching vendors like Oracle to Microsoft SQL Server

Performance Reasons

• Switching from a big Solaris box to a clustered linux environment
• Moving from Java to C++

Architecture Changes

• Modernizing your application from C/C++ to .NET or Java
• Changing your application architecture from a desktop application to Web based/SOA based or vice-versa
• Changing your application from batch processing/legacy to on-line connected arcitecture
• Moving to agile architecture like SOA/Web Services

Upgrades in Technology

• Upgrading to a new version of platform, e.g. from Windows XP to Windows Vista
• Upgrading databases or compiler versions

Business Integration

• Integrating to a other business applications (often seen in Mergers and Acquisition)
