CSK Auto Parts understands that it is essential to keep current with the latest versions of IBM WebSphere Application Server products to ensure their infrastructure is flexible enough to grow with new business and technology demands. Not wanting to be held back, CSK took the preventative migration steps to ensure they would not be saddle by upgrading hardware or buying new software because they are no longer supported by earlier versions of the application server.

The Isos Technology WebSphere Migration Experts were sought to help CSK assess and plan for the migration effort.  The Isos Technology consultants enabled the CSK Auto team to stay focused on essential business initiatives, while Isos conducted the migration.  Through upfront planning sessions and defining priorities with CSK Auto Parts, Isos Technology delivered the following WAS migration steps:

• Migrated WebSphere 5.1 to WebSphere 6.1 with more than 20 separate enterprise applications.
• Migrated WebSphere Portal 5.1 to Portal 6.0
• Applied WebSphere 6.1 and Portal 6.0 Server Updates and Fix Packs
• Updated IBM HTTP Server from 1.3.28 to 6.0.2.25
• Updated WebSphere deployment scripts to continue deployment without the use of WAS administration console.
• Completed documentation of the WebSphere Configuration for maintenance by operations department
• Created configuration scripts using Phurnace Deliver to recreate production, stage, and development server environments
