PANDA – Migration from Microsoft SBS 2003 to Microsoft SBS 2011
The Client
Panda Services and Maintenance is a supplier of a full range of buildings' services to retail, commercial and managed residential premises.
The Requirement
Panda had been using a Dell Server running Microsoft SBS 2003 supplied by ourselves over 5 years ago, both the Software and Hardware had reached end-of-life. The requirement was to migrate to SBS 2011.
The Solution
Kriston planned and tested the process of migrating from SBS 2003 to SBS 2011 before undertaking and executing the migration over a “long” weekend, during which there was minimal disruption to the business and only 2-3 hours of down time which took place late in the evening of the first day of migration.
As always in these cases there are a number of small elements to tidy up following the migration, these were dealt with efficiently and effectively, again with no disruption to the business, over the rest of the following week.
