Linux Migration Services
Migrating to Linux can completely transform your IT infrastructure, offering a more stable, secure and cost-effective environment.
Whether you are looking to replace servers, workstations or databases, Linux offers a reliable and flexible solution tailored to your needs. Here are the top distributions we recommend at SIXE for a successful Linux migration process.
Classic distributions
Red Hat Enterprise Linux (RHEL): One of the most reliable and advanced distributions for enterprise environments. Designed for stability and performance, it is ideal for servers, databases and critical applications. RHEL leads the enterprise market and is officially supported, along with tools such as Ansible and OpenShift for advanced infrastructure management.
AlmaLinux: It is a community distribution created to offer a 1:1 compatible alternative to Red Hat Enterprise Linux. It focuses on compatibility and stability, with a focus on security and privacy. It is designed as a direct replacement for CentOS, offering a wealth of security and privacy tools, as well as a wide selection of packages and software. It is an excellent choice for enterprise and server environments.
Rocky Linux: Seeks to be a direct replacement for CentOS, with a focus on compatibility with existing CentOS packages and tools. It focuses on stability, security and compatibility, and is an excellent choice for enterprise and server environments. Both Rocky Linux and AlmaLinux are good alternatives to CentOS. They are worth considering if you are looking for a stable and secure Linux distribution for your enterprise or server needs, especially if you don’t want to use CentOS Stream due to its instability or don’t want to get official support from Red Hat. Also, you can explore their freeware for additional support.

SUSE Linux Enterprise Server (SLES) It is a distribution designed for companies looking for high availability and performance. It offers advanced tools for managing hybrid environments, clusters and containers. It is ideal for companies in sectors such as finance, telecommunications and manufacturing that are looking to modernize their infrastructure.
Debian: Focuses on stability and compatibility, suitable for servers and advanced users. It underpins Ubuntu and is behind most of the Internet services we know thanks to its vast software repositories, security and advanced community support.
Ubuntu: It is a very popular and easy to use distribution, suitable for beginners as well as for home and corporate environments. It offers a large amount of pre-installed software and an intuitive user interface.

- Identification of obstacles and challenges to migration.
- Creation of a detailed plan for the migration, including a project schedule, a budget and a designated project team.
Phase 2: Compatibility testing
- Evaluation of the compatibility of existing software and hardware with Linux.
- Testing of key systems and applications to ensure proper operation on Linux.
- Identification of any software or hardware that needs to be replaced or upgraded prior to migration.
Phase 3: Preparation and training
- Preparation of servers and systems for migration.
- Training for users in the use of Linux and key applications.
- Development of a transition plan for the smooth migration to Linux.
Phase 4: Migration
- Performing Linux migration on key systems and applications.
- Verification and testing of all systems and applications to ensure proper operation on Linux.
- Resolution of any problem or incident during the migration.
Phase 5: Support and maintenance

- Continue education and training for users.
- Perform any necessary upgrades or enhancements to systems and applications migrated to Linux.
Our experience
At SIXE, we began migrating computer systems to GNU/Linux in 2004. We were our first clients. Back then we had a web server and 4 desktop computers, a printer and little else.
In these years we have migrated all types of systems from small, medium and large companies. Also from city councils, ministries and public organizations.
