Oracle Bare Metal Solution

Migrate Legacy Oracle Systems to Google Cloud

Running Oracle on Google Cloud

Let’s start with a few quick questions:

Do you have Oracle workloads you need to move to the cloud?
Are you running Oracle database options like RAC or Database In Memory?
Do you need a cloud solution with support for Oracle database features without the limits imposed by Cloud-managed services?
Are you running E-Business Suite, PeopleSoft or SAP on Oracle?
Do you want to avoid the 2x license fee penalty Oracle imposes on AWS and Azure implementations?
Do you need a cloud solution that is compatible with Oracle’s license policies?

If you answered yes to any of the above here are two more:

Did you know Google Bare Metal Solution (BMS) is a cloud-based solution to all of the above?
… and that Dito is a recognized expert in Google BMS?

Dito Migrates 19 Oracle Databases and More Than 50 Core Business Systems to the Cloud for Utah Department of Transportation

The State of Utah needed to move 19 Oracle databases and more than 50 of its core business systems to the cloud. With Dito’s help they were able to migrate to a GCP integrated system with improved failover capabilities and no increase in Oracle cost.

Challenge

The State of Utah wanted to move its applications to the cloud as part of a data center exit strategy. This included more than 50 of UDOT’s core business systems that rely on Oracle. Many of these systems were developed more than 10 year ago on outdated Oracle software. The applications & databases were tightly coupled. Most of the
production systems were supported by 3 database instances.

Solution

Using Google’s Bare Metal solution and Oracle Linux Virtualization Manager (OLVM), we were able to assist the agency with no issues. Dito engineers designed and implemented a system which allowed them to migrate 19 Oracle databases and 50 applications to a GCP integrated system with NO increase in their Oracle licensing costs and as the cherry on top, improved failover capabilities.

Results

UDOT were able to vacate their on-premises data center with minimal disruption to business operations. 19 Oracle databases & more than 50 associated applications were migrated from a VMware cluster running on legacy hardware to enterprise grade servers equipped with latest Intel Cascade Lake processors. These were configured using OLVM to provide a more robust system integrated with Google Cloud.
