WEBSITE MIGRATION
The purpose of this paper is to set the foundation and to explain and illustrate what it will take to build a web architecture to move the existing website for Tony’s Chips, with little to no down time, also to provide a disaster recovery strategy to guarantee the site is always accessible. I will also state the necessary steps to support the company’s migration from external to internal hosting. With the overall goal being to allow the customer the ability to order products in this case being a bag of chips from the website. Data migration will occur over a two week period with charts and diagrams to show the steps and timeline to accomplish the necessary tasks. The company is very concerned with redundant systems to ensure that there is no more than 5 minutes of down time in any given 365 day period.
With web hosting fees going down over the past several years, it makes little sense for a business to host their own web site on their own computers. Web hosting companies do a large volume business it only makes sense to allow them to host for and it is cheaper than trying to do it yourself. The Advantages of using a web hosting company include but are not limited to, studies show that self-hosted site are down on the average two weeks a year. While outside web hosting companies boast an amazing 99.9 % uptime, and as a business you know that every minute your site is down you are not making money.
Better security is provided by outside web hosted companies thus giving first rate protection from hackers. Another advantage enjoyed by having your site hosted by an outside company is not having a webmaster on your payroll, thus cutting your operating cost. When you add this up it makes self -hosting more expensive than having your site hosted by an outside company.
I recommend Microsoft Azure used with the cloud as a hosting service, azure supports the broadest selection of operating systems, it can be used build apps with JavaScript, and python and even android. Azure’s is very scalable as it a pay as you go service furthermore it can quickly scaled up or down, and grow with your company. It also allows for pay by the minute billing that allows your company the match rates with competors prices, it will you to match or beat prices for items such as bandwidth and storage to you are the best price and service for your money.
Azure is managed and runs on a worldwide network that is managed by Microsoft datacenters in which there as 19 (more than Amazon web services and google cloud service combined). Azure can handle any workload, as it is the first multinational cloud providers in mainland China. With more than 57% of fortune 500 companies using Azure this is the product I recommend for your company. I recommend a bus type topology for your network, and I will explain this type of network for as follows: In a Local area network where a bus type topology is used each station or node is connected to a single cable, by the use interface connectors. The central cable is the backbone of the network and is known as the bus this where the name of this type of network comes from. Signals from the source are sent out and travels in both directions until it finds the intended recipient. If the address does not match the machine it is intended for then the data is ignored. In the case that the address matches the address then the data is accepted. Bus topology consists of a single wire it is inexpensive to set up when compared to other types of topology.
A station on a bus network is known as a host or a workstation. In this type of network every station in the network will receive all network traffic and every station will have equal transmission priority. In this network bus forms a single network segment and collision domain A bus network forms a single network segment and collision domain, this allows the stations to transmit on the same bus at the same time, they use a media access control technology such as (CSMA) or a bus master. I will ensure the systems down time will meet the five 9’s by allowing the backup systems to run in parallel with the main system that is if the main system goes down for more than 1 millisecond the backup automatically kicks in and keeps the system up and running. Redundant system will include but not be limited to servers, firewalls, databases, routers and related equipment. Data migration will occur in a series of steps by shifting data between storage, layouts and or computer systems, this is a key condensation for any system upgrade or migration. By preforming this task using a computer program(s) it will more efficient and save man hour as opposed to doing this task manually.
Data migration occurs for a variety of reasons, including server or storage equipment replacements, maintenance or upgrades, application migration, website consolidation and data center relocation. This will be a full data migration that will include data mapping form the old system to the new. The old data format will moved and will fit the new systems format and requirements, it will be seamless with little to no interrupting in normal day to day operations of the system.
Now I will explain the web design concepts involved in the migration from the old to the new site. To move from an old or existing (sometimes called a legacy system), the data must be loaded or transferred to the new system, this can be done via a wireless connection data transfer tool also called data mapping. This process may involve various phases but it normally involves data extraction where data is read from the legacy system and transferred or downloaded to the new system, in this case it will allow customers to order online. After the mapping is complete the results are to be checked and verified to ensure that are accurate and that the data base is running in third normal form with no duplicate information. Now I will explain verification and data migration during verification the system will be run in parallel to ensure that both the primary and the secondary system are up and running, but also to look for and find areas of disparity and to prevent data loss. There will programmed and manual data cleaning in the migration process to increase the quality of the data, and remove duplicate data, also to equal the requirements that the new data may require for the website. The five phases of data migration are design in the design phase the data will are as follows: Assess in this phase we will describe and evaluate the process to migrate and the requirements to begin this phase.
The next phase is the planning phase in this phase the performance and the cost of the migration comes into play in accordance to the clients budget constraints. The next phase is the extraction phase in this phase we will use state of the art equipment to extract information from the existing system to migrate to the new system. The next phase is the cleaning phase in this phase all incoming data is cleansed from any probable problems thus ensuring high quilty data translation from legacy to new system.
The next phase is the load phase in this phase the data is now loaded to the new system or device. The next phase Now the verify phase can commence, in the verify phase the data is authenticated to ensure it is accurate and ready for use in the application. These five phases are repeated several times to ensure that they are accurate and usable before being implemented in and the new system is deployed. WeRecoverData.com data migration and conversion solutions are flexible to your company’s business process and operational needs providing you with a solution that minimizes expensive downtime and loss of productivity.
Next I will explain the disaster recovery/ backup strategy and recovery options for the migration of the system. I recommend www.recoverData.com, this is the leading provider of data recovery solutions, brining years of experience in the data recovery market, with professional and highly trained team of recovery management experts. Provides service to major Fortune 500 companies, on time delivery, accurate and on time. Guaranteed policy no recovery, no charge 24/7 emergency response.
In order to ensure the site is up and running at all times a backup site is need among the jobs are duties the backup sit will provide will include. I will now explain the backup app for the new web site to ensure data is maintained in the case of total system failure. In this case I recommend. Barracuda back up as a service, with this system you get a low cost high and highly efficient system that will deliver all the “bells and whistles” of a must more costly system at a fraction on the cost.
Not only is Barracuda a lost cost award winning system it has all the features and benefits of the much more costly systems. At a cost of $13900.00 I ac install Barracuda as a backup, this will you to have a piece of mind knowing that in addition to redundancy you will also have a back app if your system were to fail. You can get it all with an annual subscription which include Barracuda backup, Energize Updates, Instant Replacement, and unlimited Barracuda storage. No other system on the market today is going to give as much as this does for the price.
