5. Risk handling – Managing the complexity
Identifying the risk profile for each system/
server is necessary:
§ Criticality of the application/system/server
§ Impact on possible migration scenarios
§ Test profile determines the extent of testing
necessary
…resulting in:
§ detailed execution, test & verification plan
§ required rollback scenarios and other counter
measures

Zone Concept
Introduce a Zone Concept, based on
criteria for
§ Infrastructure components
§ Processes & documentation
§ Security
Red and yellow zones are only
temporary…
§ …move here first if necessary, then
transform to the Green Zone
…Enables a quicker close down of old
DCs
The Zone Concept allows you to keep
up the momentum in the project
