Your Solaris to Ubuntu Migration, Delivered on Time and on Budget
Migrating Oracle Solaris to Ubuntu Server is a well-understood project. Our senior platform engineers handle every step: assessment, refactoring SMF to systemd, converting IPS packages, and migrating configurations
The lowest-cost way off Oracle Solaris: our migration tooling automates the repetitive work —you pay senior engineers for judgment, not keystrokes.
How we support Oracle Solaris → Ubuntu Server after migration
- ✓Fixed-scope project led by senior platform engineers
- ✓40-70% savings vs Oracle support during planning
- ✓Keep Oracle support active while you migrate on your timeline
- ✓Access to modern Ubuntu tooling and CI/CD pipelines
- ✓24/7 US-based support throughout and after migration
- ✓Post-migration OS-level support and automation scripting
High Oracle license fees
Proprietary licensing costs consume budget that could fuel innovation. Moving to Ubuntu eliminates those recurring expenses.
Deep SMF service integrations
Solaris Service Management Facility dependencies are tightly coupled. Refactoring without downtime requires deep Unix-to-Linux expertise.
Security module migration fear
Legacy PAM and custom security modules must be re-architected for Linux. One misstep can expose critical systems.
Oracle Solaris → Ubuntu Server migration — your questions answered
How do you migrate Solaris to Ubuntu without breaking SMF dependencies?+
We refactor SMF manifests to systemd unit files, validate each service in a staging environment, and cut over with zero-downtime strategies — all while your Oracle support remains active.
What happens to my Oracle support contract during a Solaris to Ubuntu migration?+
You keep Oracle support as long as your contract is active. If it lapses, our third-party support covers most operational issues on your running Solaris machines while we complete the move.
Can you handle custom IPS packages in a Solaris to Ubuntu conversion?+
Yes. We inventory your IPS package repository, rebuild equivalent packages in Ubuntu's APT format, and test every dependency in a replicated environment before production deployment.
How long does a typical Oracle Solaris to Ubuntu Server migration take?+
Most projects run 5-10 months with a team of 2-4 senior engineers. Budget ranges from $120,000 to $600,000 depending on scope and complexity.
