considerations of this platform: § Are all required applications available? § Is sufficient application performance available? § Is the network infrastructure ready to support Windows NT? § Can the current UNIX system environment be duplicated on Windows NT? § Is the IT infrastructure ready to - HP Visualize J210XC | hp visualize workstation - Migrating UNIX Technical Enviro - Page 3
assembly or Fortran language programs are inherently UNIXcentric with little migration support for NT. In addition, it should be ascertained whether the , the current infrastructure. For example, the NT 4.0 browsing service can increase network traffic. The lack of consistent, interoperable file - HP Visualize J210XC | hp visualize workstation - Migrating UNIX Technical Enviro - Page 4
workstation setup, etc. that are currently dependent upon UNIX-centric tools and applications. The cost of migration from UNIX to Windows NT must be weighed against the functionality and seamless integration of the migrated applications with the standard UNIX systems and their associated technical - HP Visualize J210XC | hp visualize workstation - Migrating UNIX Technical Enviro - Page 5
Hamilton Laboratories). Tools like XEmacs and MKS also provide UNIX style editors and some portions of a development environment. The risks involved in this path are associated with the costs of rewriting applications to ensure maximum performance levels under Windows NT. Currently, NT requires more - HP Visualize J210XC | hp visualize workstation - Migrating UNIX Technical Enviro - Page 6
Migrating Only the Minimal Client Piece Conclusion The migration of the client or interface portion allows this path to provide for utilizing technical NT workstation and the Windows NT GUI as a "front end" to the technical applications and environment on UNIX. For example, this could entail - HP Visualize J210XC | hp visualize workstation - Migrating UNIX Technical Enviro - Page 7

§ Move the source to the Windows environment. § Compile & link. § Fix any linkage issues that relate to calls for routings that don't exist in Windows NT. § Debug and test with other NT applications and environment.
