Overview
Background
The legacy Windows hosting infrastructure (ucs-sequel & kb-iis-1) has been overdue for decommissioning for some time now. New infrastructure is in place to replace these but work has stalled due to resource availability.
This project will provide the resource to progress with that and have all content closed down or migrated to supported infrastructure.
- Migrate windows hosted websites to an infrastructure that is supported.
- Close down and decommission costly legacy physical servers
- Identify and remove unused websites and databases
- Build an accurate list of Windows hosted websites for use in the move away from ColdFusion.
A Wiki page has been created in order to manage, communicate and keep an audit trail of the status of each web service information. As part of the wiki page, some guidance and information will be produced including migration cutover dates and impact on the users.
Current status:
1 New Infrastructure in place.
2 A partial Audit has been performed to identify all users involved, contact details, web details and owners.
3 Move of content for ucs-sql almost complete.
4. 95% of outstanding work is Html and communications tasks.
Scope
- Migrate windows hosted websites to infrastructure running supported software versions
- Identify and remove unused websites and databases
- Decommission costly legacy physical servers
