Windows to Linux Migration Services

We handle the full range of open-source migrations: Windows to Linux or BSD, cloud to on-premise (repatriation), physical to virtual, and legacy VMs or containers to modern platforms. Our most popular is the Windows-to-Linux migration: after your Open Source Assessment, you pick the areas you want moved, and we get it done.

Linux leads Windows in the areas that matter most to a production shop: security, deployment and upgrades, automation, development workflow, licensing cost, and reliability (from our blog: Why We Should Use Linux Over Windows).

We migrate rackmount servers, workstations and desktops, and the infrastructure around them: printers and print configuration, networking, NAS and file shares, bespoke applications, and local directories (Active Directory to LDAP or FreeIPA, the open-source directory services). We move your day-to-day workflows too, and your data stays safe and intact the entire way.

Moving off a rising cloud bill? Cloud repatriation (bringing workloads back from the public cloud to hardware you own) is one of the fastest-growing reasons customers call us, and it pairs naturally with an eRacks server built for the job, including private AI infrastructure you run in-house. Ask us about combining a migration with new on-premise hardware.

Deliverables include:

• A complete migration plan and inventory: systems, applications, data, printers, and network services
• Your data moved intact and verified, with a tested rollback plan
• Configured Linux or BSD servers and desktops, with directory services migrated (Active Directory to LDAP or FreeIPA)
• Your workflows recreated and documented on the new stack
• A live handoff session with your team, plus 30 days of follow-up email questions

Every migration starts with a half-day scoping session (default below), credited toward the project if you proceed. Prefer to start smaller? Choose the one-hour discovery call. Larger environments step up to full-day, one-week, or one-month engagements, and bigger programs are quoted to your scope.

Migrate your Windows or cloud infrastructure to Linux, safely and smoothly, with eRacks Systems.
