Installation and migration to ISPadmin 5
If you want to migrate your system to ISPadmin 5, there are several possible courses of action:
- Migration within a single machine
- Migration from an old server to a new one
- Migration within a single machine (virtualization)
- Migration from one server to another (virtualization)
- Migration from your server to our cloud solution
- Migration from our cloud solution to you own server
In all the above-mentioned cases, migration is carried out exclusively by our experienced technician. That will help keep any complications to a minimum. Migration from version 4 to version 5 is free of charge. Any further migrations or extra services are subject to a charge (according to the current price list).
Before migration, it is necessary to check whether the server meets the minimum requirements. The requirements mainly depend on the number of clients that are to be managed by the system. The following table gives you a few relevant ballpark figures:
| Number of clients | CPU | RAM | HDD – System | HDD – Data |
| Up to 500 | 4 cores | 8GB | 80GB |
|
| 501 – 2000 | 8 cores | 16GB | 100GB |
|
| 2001 – 4000 | 12 cores | 32GB | 80GB | 80GB |
| 4001 and more | Determined on a case-by-case basis | Determined on a case-by-case basis | Determined on a case-by-case basis | Determined on a case-by-case basis |
If we find out that the server does not meet the minimum requirements, we will immediately inform you of the fact and suggest a possible solution (component upgrades, new server purchase, etc.).
