DATABASE MIGRATION
TO ORACLE CLOUD
INFRASTRUCTURE (OCI)
Organizations around the world are enhancing their data footprints. For long, they have been tackling management and migration of siloed, distributed and complex data. The need for seamless data segregation and analysis for accelerated business performance demanded the expertise of advanced technologies such as Big Data and Artificial Intelligence (AI). At least half of the organizations are caught in the cost and timeline conundrum where they have spent more for long pending data management projects. These challenges could only be resolved by moving from legacy systems to modern cloud-based landscapes. Cloud4C, as a pioneer in mission-critical migration, brings cohesion to this chaos with OCI (Oracle Cloud Infrastructure) Database Migration and Management.

Preparing for Migration with Database Assessment
Migrating workloads and applications on OCI guarantees best in class performance, scalability, availability and security. But, the best of cloud migration is delivered with a thorough assessment of the cloud platform, in order to understand the cloud readiness of the database. Cloud4C thus ensures a complete assessment of the entire landscape for a successful database migration and efficient infrastructure management.
Assessment by Cloud4C prepares the infrastructure, applications and database to deliver higher performance and operational efficiency with zero upfront capex. Enterprises, in turn, are prepared not only for data modernization, but for advancing digital strategies.

- STEP-1
Monitor the available confguration data and databases for migration readiness. For a strategic and comprehensive plan, past and current issues and failures are taken into consideration
- STEP-2
Analyse configurations, transactional trends, operation status, peak and batch processing and operations procedures to impactful reports.
- STEP-3
Collect data performance for accurate reports with the support of Oracle Statspack/Automatic Workload Repository (AWR).
- STEP-4
Analyse the data and assess generated reports for a well-structured data migration approach

Types of Database Migration offered by Cloud4C
Offline Migrations
RMAN backup/logical export is taken as per customer requirement. The backup will then be restored in the off-premise environment.
Online Migrations
A robust DR is built in a specific region. Live data is shipped and cutover for database on-premise is planned, before switching services to OCI.
Homogeneous Migrations
Migration completed using RMAN/export options to a homogeneous environment.
Heterogeneous Migrations
Deployment via multiple approaches:
- • SQL developer – CSV
- • Golden Gate
Complex and Large Migrations
Estimates and deliverables to be identified prior to the migration. Suite of Oracle technologies to be incorporated as per requirement.

OCI Migration ConnectivityOptions
FastConnect
Secure connection between the existing network and virtual cloud network (VCN) over a private physical network instead of the internet.
IPSec VPN
Secure connection between a dynamic routing gateway (DRG) and customer-premise equipment (CPE), consisting of multiple IPSec tunnels. The IPSec connection is one of the components for site-to-site VPN between a VCN and on-premises network.
Internet gateway
Provides a path for network traffic between VCN and the internet
