Migrating your Oracle databases to the Cloud

Moving your Oracle Database to the cloud brings huge benefits, including scalability, cost savings, improved performance, and enhanced security. Eclipsys Solutions offers expert guidance and end-to-end support to make your migration to the cloud smooth, efficient, and valuable.

Why Migrate Oracle Databases to the Cloud?

Migrating to the cloud unlocks resources and capabilities that aren’t available with on-premises systems. Here’s why cloud migration could be the right step for your business:

  • Scalability: Scale resources up or down as needed, without the expense of new hardware.
  • Cost Savings: Replace high capital expenses with a flexible pay-as-you-go model.
  • Enhanced Performance: Leverage optimized cloud infrastructure with cutting-edge storage and computing power.
  • Advanced Security & Compliance: Access security features and compliance certifications that keep data safe and meet industry standards.

Our Cloud Migration Process for Oracle Databases

Migrating your Oracle Database to the cloud may sound complex, but we make it manageable with a structured approach. Here’s how we guide you through each step:

1. Assess and Plan

We begin by evaluating your current environment and migration goals. Our experts help you determine the best approach based on your business needs and budget.

2. Choose the Right Migration Strategy

Choose from two main strategies:

  • Lift and Shift: Move your database “as is” to the cloud for a fast, cost-effective solution with minimal disruption.
  • Modernization: Redesign or optimize your database to take advantage of cloud-native features, providing greater flexibility and performance.

3. Prepare the Database

Preparation is key. We back up your data, optimize configurations, and ensure compatibility with the cloud environment to make the transition seamless.

4. Migrate Data

Using tools like Oracle Zero Downtime Migration (ZDM) and Oracle Database Migration Service (DMS), we transfer your data securely and efficiently, even with large databases.

5. Test and Validate

After migration, we run tests to confirm data integrity, performance, and compatibility, ensuring everything works as expected.

6. Optimize and Monitor

We use cloud-native monitoring and optimization tools to maintain your database’s performance, control costs, and address any security needs, helping you get the most out of your cloud migration.
