Introduction:

Problem Statement:
Juanitas was facing all sorts of issues from security to DevOps due to old hardware and unsupported versions of the Oracle database, operating system, app server, and custom extensions.
Our Solution:
After thorough research and analysis, Vast Edge suggested an as-is migration of their EBS environment (dev, test, prod, and DR) to reduce risks. The successful migration was then followed by an upgrade on the cloud by utilizing a parallel Oracle platform service environment.
1. Smooth Migration to OCI: Vast Edge utilized proven methods, reference architectures, and predesigned tools with existing checklists for a smooth migration to OCI. Both the initial and upgrade migrations were done without causing any disruption to Juanita's business operations.
2. Active Data Guard: Vast Edge leveraged Active Data Guard and IPSEC tunnels to achieve smooth cutover with minimal downtime.
3. Oracle Cloud BYOL Feature: In addition to a smoother migration, Vast Edge leveraged Oracle BYOL (Bring Your Own Licenses) to Lift & Shift On-Premise Licenses into Oracle Cloud
Results:
1. Faster performance by leveraging OCI IaaS & PaaS.
2. Increased security by leveraging encryption, Multi-factor authentication, single sign on, and cloud tools.
3. Easier upgrade process by leveraging Oracle PaaS tools.
4. Easy ongoing maintenance by leveraging semi automated patching, upgrades, and backups.
Benefits:
1. Reduce IT costs and overhead by utilizing BYOL licensing model to save upto 40% in platform costs.
2. Further 25% cost reduction by leveraging Oracle support rewards.
3. Full 24 x 7 Managed Services by Vast Edge from DevOps to AppDev.
