METHODOLOGY
for application bundling
ensures smooth, systematic
and consistent approach
Application Migration
Apps and infrastructure are put into “bundling”
groups for migration, which are then grouped into
“move events”
A bundle is a group of components that are so tightly
integrated that they must be migrated together
> Bundling criteria includes a mix of business, app, and
infrastructure factors such as app-to-app dependencies,
availability/downtime tolerance, app tiers/criticality, and
quantity of apps and/or servers
Move events range in size depending on business
outage and resource factors
> Typical migration events are 80-150 servers, 40-50 apps, a
blend of production and non-production environments, and
executed every other weekend
