A Question on Service Continuity Management

Several of the Unified Oil refineries are proceeding with their conversion from Windows to Linux and are now working through their production servers. The server administrators reviewed each system and have processed requests to upgrade the memory on those systems. All of this maintenance is occurring during scheduled maintenance windows and the users are quite pleased with the results.

The Pittsburgh is further along with their conversion than is the Plano refinery. Podunk is the furthest behind, but being the smallest refinery their staff feels confident that they can finish within three more months.
