Adopting a Next Generation Data Security Strategy

This white paper highlights how organizations can adopt a next generation data security strategy that bridges security technologies deployed across heterogeneous and highly distributed environments. Organizations are lacking a centralized view of their data security risk posture, compounded by the complexity of managing security across distributed environments. This lack of visibility results in an ineffective way of prioritizing alerts and assessing the business impact of lost or stolen data assets. Taking a holistic approach affords organizations a comprehensive view of existing security risks to sensitive data.

Balance Cost and Performance when Migrating On-premises Oracle Databases to the Cloud

Although the cloud may have once looked like a fad, predictions of a $266.4 billion—and growing—market in public cloud services1 suggest the fad has become a business reality. The new frontier is to strike the right cost-performance balance so that cloud computing actually does save more money than it costs.

Shortly after you join the growing number of database administrators tasked with migrating on-premises Oracle databases to the cloud, you’ll confront several questions:



  • Which cloud service is the best fit for your organization?
  • Which of your Oracle databases is best suited for a migration to the cloud?
  • How will you minimize downtime and avoid data loss during the migration?
  • How will you monitor database performance and ensure scalability without blowing your budget?
  • Do you have the tools to replicate Oracle data between on-premises infrastructure and the cloud?
  • Perhaps most important, will you really lower your Oracle licensing costs and avoid platform lock-in to any single cloud provider?

This solution brief is designed to guide DBAs through the process of migrating an on-premises Oracle database to a cloud service such as Amazon Web Services (AWS)2, Microsoft Azure and Oracle Cloud Infrastructure.
