Data Modernization on the Oracle Cloud: Transformation and Intelligence at its Roots

Transitioning dataflows to the cloud is just the first step to truly attaining a data intelligent enterprise status. Traditional lift and shift migrations have proven to deliver stunted outcomes without advanced database management on the cloud: optimization, cleansing, extraction, duplication, rewriting and modifying databases and applications, replacement of legacy assets, integration of cloud-powered analytics tools, etc. More often than not, enterprises are opting for a complete overhaul of their data structures and databases on the cloud via seamless data pools or data lakes. Acting as a universal source for any data type, this allows businesses the flexibility to store, call, and deploy data at will across remote locations, private ecosystems, third-party solutions, end-points, and more. In addition, such a refined architecture makes deployment of cutting-edge analytics streamlined, thereby transforming enterprise workflows at its roots and laying the groundwork for a truly data-intelligent enterprise.

Stages of Data Migration and Modernization on the Oracle Cloud

1

Data Analysis

We perform entity mapping, where map source entity attributes are sourced to target entity attributes. We help identify any unmapped attributes which may result in data loss. Cloud4C develops a migration strategy and design which mentions the downtime required due to migration, required staging storage/ hardware, migration impact on target database size, and tracking updates to source during migration. We follow the proof of concepts as defined in the migration strategy document. We also help enterprises classify data of standards and analyse the ease of maintainability based on the analysis report.

2

Pre-migration

As part of the pre-migration, Cloud4C checks on the data inconsistency that highlights the possible inconsistency of an entity against predefined standards. We also take care of the Data redundancy, data stability, data type, data length, data cleansing and more. With the pre-migration process, we keep track of the amount of redundant data present in legacy databases. Cloud4C performs data cleansing based on the findings of the inconsistency check and stability check.

3

Transform & Migrate

As part of transform and migrate, we perform the data transformation based on the transformation rules. Along with it, we also migrate the data from source to target. We help report and resolve the log and report errors during migration and log and report status of migration.

4

Continuous Migration and Modernization

As part of the continuous migration, we capture all the changes in the source system. We also propagate the changes to the target system. We help with the redesigning of the workloads from proprietary ETL (Infa, etc.) to native cloud/open source ETL (e.g., Spark/Lambda/Glue). We take care of moving warehouse layer storage to cloud, error-handling during migration, moving Data marts to new platform, reporting from new platform, On-board other LOBs and On-board Analytical use cases. We ensure that the changes are applied to the target system.

5

Post Transformation

As part of the post migration process, we provide data reconciliation and assurance. We take care of advanced analytics, and build search capability and complete data & analytics on the new platform. Gain 24/7/365 support from our data modernization experts.
