A small organization plans to migrate a critical application from a traditional, physical infrastructure
to the first servers in their VDC. This will be one of several applications the organization plans to
migrate over the next 2-3 years.
As this is a new VDC implementation, they have not yet realized any of the benefits of a fully
virtualized infrastructure. They have retained an experienced consulting service to help them build
a detailed migration plan.
Which migration strategy will they most likely use and why?

A.
A phased approach, because they have planning assistance that may be cost sensitive.

B.
A forklift approach, because they have new servers available and can move small sections of
the environment at a time.

C.
A phased approach, because they can keep the existing systems online in parallel with the new
systems.

D.
A forklift approach, since it is less expensive than a phased approach and existing systems can
be maintained online in parallel.
