Migration Services

Product upgrades or migration can compromise network security, availability, and performance and hold back progress. IPnett consultants offer the deep technical capabilities and extensive experience you need to move forward with confidence.

Firewall Migrations

Deploying a new firewall solution safeguards the security of your customers and organisation, and maintains your competitive advantage. For a rapid and smooth migration, your team must understand your current and new firewall products. And your organisation must be prepared to quickly address typical conversion challenges created by interpretation errors, human errors, and zone-based versus single-zone policies.

Using time-tested migration methodologies and automated processes that minimise data entry errors, your IPnett migration consultant delivers infrastructure and business analysis, as well as design, test, and deployment guidance.

Router Migration
The IPnett Router Migration Service is a comprehensive service that facilitates the removal of legacy edge routers, including Redback Networks, Cisco, Shasta, and other routers. Router Migrations is available in standard (replacement) or advanced (migration plus configuration) service configurations, and is involves in three phases:

Phase 1: Consulting IPnett Consulting Services determines your migration requirements and helps with any network engineering that may be required.

Phase 2: Development We develop a custom process to convert the legacy device configuration into an new router configuration. The conversion process is based on representative configuration files and requirements that are provided by your organisation.

Phase 3: Migration Implementation The configuration conversion process is combined with operational requirements and considerations to produce the complete migration process. In parallel with the migration, IPnett provides standard and custom onsite classes to transfer knowledge on the new router operations.
