01_RISKY BUSINESS: MOVING MISSION CRITICAL APPS TO THE CLOUD

THE NINE CHALLENGES TO

CLOUD MIGRATION

In core business applications, the stakes

are higher than in office productivity

suites, and their reliability, performance

and availability demands are different to

“the next big thing” in web apps.

It’s one thing to move test-and-dev

environments or productivity and

collaboration to the cloud; it is another

01 DOWNTIMECan the business rely on a

cloud vendor to run a core

business application? Will the

vendor be able to restore it as

quickly as in-house experts

if it goes down?

02 PERFORMANCEIf a core business application

underperforms, the bottom line

could take a hit. What happens

if the chosen cloud platform

doesn’t perform or scale as it’s

supposed to?

03 SECURITYWill a new platform have

unexpected security risks?

Can the business trust that

the cloud platform is

adequately secured?

04 COMPLEXITYMigration of critical applications

to cloud is a careful, often

gradual process, as the cloud

platform is proven over time

with real world workloads. How

well will this work, keeping a

mix of on-premises and cloud

working well together?

05 RE-ENGINEERING COSTSWill getting the application

running on the cloud

infrastructure require major

surgery? Could those changes

trigger a domino effect of

unintended consequences to

downstream applications?

06 TARGETING THE RIGHT LEVEL OF CLOUD

Should the business use a vendor’s

applications (Software-as-a-

Service), its development platform

(Platform-as-a-Service), its cloud

servers (Infrastructure-as-a-Service),

or a combination? Getting it wrong

can have long-term ramifications.

07 LOSS OF IT GOVERNANCE CONTROLS

The ease of spinning up new cloud

infrastructure and deploying code

can lead to poorly controlled IT

infrastructure, risking stability,

security and cost control.

08 VENDOR LOCK-INIf the chosen cloud platform

doesn’t work out, will the

business be free to “bail-over”

to another platform, or be

locked in?

09 “ELASTIC” COSTS

All that cloud elasticity can

result in bill shock. Sure, on-

premises data centres are

expensive to run, but their

stubborn inflexibility

means costs are less

likely to spiral out of

control quickly.

altogether to risk destabilising the

software that runs the moment-to-

moment transactions of the business.

For a CIO charged with keeping core

IT systems running, there’s no greater

example of “if it ain’t broke, don’t fix it”,

and, in relation to migration to cloud,

there are good reasons for that.

02_WHY ORACLE CLOUD IS THE MISSION-CRITICAL CHOICE

SECURITY : NOT AN OPTIONAL EXTRA

Security is top of the list for CIOs. In

Oracle Cloud, enterprise-grade security

is an automatic inclusion, not an extra

cost. Oracle’s existing, proven security

control systems are built into every

level of the stack. The security starts

at the silicon level – it is no accident

that Oracle’s SPARC processors are

immune to the severe in-memory data

vulnerabilities affecting x86 processors.

Unlike some vendors that ask you

to “just trust us”, Oracle provides full

transparency – Oracle Audit and Identity

and Access Management services are

included with Oracle Cloud Infrastructure

at no additional cost to enable

comprehensive resource governance

and access.1

MAXIMUM COMPATIBILITY

The same Oracle technology that runs

in corporate data centres today also

runs Oracle Cloud. For existing Oracle

customers, this can make migrating

from on-premises to cloud much easier

than with competing vendors’

platforms, and less expensive than

running Oracle software on other

providers’ cloud platforms.

Oracle also understands that large

enterprises need long migration runways

and it takes time to prove IT solutions

and build business confidence. Migration

doesn’t have to happen all at once

– Oracle Cloud can run on-premises

systems hand-in-hand with cloud-based

equivalents with 100% compatibility.

For organisations that have particular

challenges with cloud, such as data

sovereignty or internal policy compliance

requirements, Oracle Infrastructure-as-a-

Service (IaaS) and Platform-as-a-Service

(PaaS) can be installed and operated on

client premises behind their firewall.

Oracle understands the requirements

around supporting critical core business

applications and has designed Oracle

Cloud with them in mind.

CHOOSING THE RIGHT LEVEL OF THE CLOUD

STACK – IAAS, PAAS OR SAAS – IS EASY WITH

ORACLE, AS THE ONLY CLOUD PROVIDER WITH

A COMPREHENSIVE OFFERING IN EACH LAYER.

ORACLE DOESN’T HAVE AN INTEREST IN PUSHING

ONE OR THE OTHER STRATEGY – IT CAN ADVISE

ON THE BEST OPTIONS, INCLUDING HOW TO

BEST TAKE ADVANTAGE OF THE INTEGRATION

OPPORTUNITY BETWEEN THE LAYERS.

OPEN AND FLEXIBLE

Vendor lock-in isn’t part of Oracle’s

strategy with Cloud: the platform is

built from the ground up on industry

standards – making it possible to lift and

shift in, or out, without proprietary vendor

technology roadblocks. “We learned over

decades with on-premises technology

that standards are very important, that

interoperability is very important, that

upward compatibility is very important,”

says Oracle Founder and Chief Technology

Officer, Larry Ellison.

GET MORE FOR LESS

Despite all of the above benefits,

Oracle Cloud isn’t sold at a premium

to less capable public cloud providers.

In fact, Oracle’s promise is superior

performance on Oracle Autonomous

Database with lower pricing than its

major competitor – half or less than the

same workload running on Amazon

Web Services.²

03_ORACLE CLOUD THE MOST INTEGRATED CLOUD STACK

QUESTION_Do you choose the cloud provider

that’s strong in infrastructure, but lacking a broad

dev platform? Or the one with the strong dev platform

and the weak Software-as-a-Service offering?

ANSWER_Oracle Cloud provides a complete stack

with strong capabilities in each segment. This allows

each layer of the stack to access the others and it is

this integration that creates exponential benefits.

SOFTWARE-AS-A-SERVICE (SAAS)

WHAT IS IT?

Oracle’s formidable portfolio of

Software-as-a-Service is used in the

largest companies across the globe.

ERP, CRM, CX, HCM and hundreds

of other applications.

VITAL STATISTICS: Nearly 1000 SaaS applications,

used by customers in more than 195

countries around the world, supporting

55 billion transactions each day.

UNIQUE ADVANTAGE: Oracle gives customers the ability

to activate small components.

For example, rather than subscribing

to a whole ERP solution, clients can

subscribe just to planning and

budgeting and later a financials

and revenue management module.

PLATFORM-AS-A-SERVICE (PAAS)

WHAT IS IT?

Oracle Cloud is the industry’s most

holistic enterprise-grade cloud platform,

allowing business to extend and enhance

their environments by bringing cloud

technologies to existing applications,

or extending how their SaaS-based

applications are utilised.

VITAL STATISTICS: Oracle Cloud Platform supports

numerous open standards (SQL, HTML5,

REST, and more) open-source solutions

(such as Kubernetes, Hadoop, and Kafka)

and a wide variety of programming

languages, databases, and integration

frameworks.

UNIQUE ADVANTAGE: Extend Oracle SaaS applications with

the same development tools and APIs

that Oracle used to build them.

INFRASTRUCTURE-AS-A-SERVICE (IAAS)

WHAT IS IT?

Run your own operating system and

applications in Oracle Cloud – proven to

be the fastest cloud for HPC workloads.

Mix virtual machines with Bare Metal

Servers offering uncompromised

performance without a hypervisor.

VITAL STATISTICS: Oracle’s simple, aggressive pricing

strategy offers compute resources at

up to 70% less than major competitors.

UNIQUE ADVANTAGE: Oracle Cloud Bare Metal Servers

allow customers to shift their complete

corporate data, applications, and

infrastructure to Oracle Public Cloud

without any alterations whatsoever

(something that is just not possible

with AWS). Plus: Windows, Linux or

Oracle Solaris – flexibility other cloud

providers can’t provide.

OUR CLOUD

YOUR DATA

CENTRE

Oracle can install its public

cloud infrastructure (billed

like public cloud and still fully

managed by Oracle) physically

on your premises, behind your

firewall, making compliance

and regulatory issues easier

to overcome. It’s called Oracle

Cloud at Customer.3

04_THE TOP 10 BENEFITS OF ORACLE CLOUD

CORE TECHNOLOGIES ORACLE CUSTOMERS USE TODAY

Core business systems are not modified

lightly and migration of these systems

has to be exceptionally carefully

managed to minimise business risk.

If you’re running Oracle technology in

your business today, Oracle’s cloud runs

the same technology, making “lift-and-shift”

between on-premises and cloud easier

– but also enabling a gradual migration

of core business systems, leaving some

aspects on-premises and moving some

workloads to cloud.

This avoids the risks associated with

changing database architecture or API's,

which can trigger a domino effect of

unintended downstream consequences

in dependent systems.

#1 #2FLEXIBLE INTEGRATION

Oracle Cloud makes working with

cloud components easy by matching

on-premises technology and

architecture with the cloud. But that’s

just the first step for customers. Oracle

Cloud’s vertical integration offers

many more benefits that simply aren’t

available from other cloud providers.

For example, if extension of one of

Oracle’s SaaS applications is required,

the Oracle Platform-as-a-Service can

provide the underlying framework

for rapid low code development

utilising pre-built integration, common

development tools and uniform user

experience.

“THE SIMPLE FACT IS THERE IS NO BETTER

CLOUD PROVIDER TO RUN ORACLE

WORKLOADS THAN ORACLE ITSELF.”

And if total control is required, Oracle’s

infrastructure layer provides flexibility

to run Windows, Linux or Oracle Solaris

UNIX within the same cloud environment

– something that no other cloud provider

can offer. All three layers of the stack

support single sign on.

SECURE TO THE CORE

In Oracle Cloud, security is implemented

throughout the technology stack

running IaaS, PaaS and SaaS, with

features controlling network, hardware,

chips, operating systems, storage and

application layers.

Oracle’s end-to-end encryption is unique

in the industry: it covers data-at-rest, all

the way through to live virtual machines

running mission critical workloads being

transferred between physical hosts.4

COST EFFECTIVE

Oracle’s architecture allows it to

provide higher performance, at a lower

price, than its chief competitor, Amazon

Web Services. Oracle Founder and

Chief Technology Officer, Larry Ellison,

demonstrated live at OpenWorld 2017

how the same workloads running

on AWS are five to nine times more

expensive than on Oracle Autonomous

Database in Oracle Cloud.

More value is recouped by customers

by the minimal human labour costs

associated with Oracle Cloud.

Automated security patching, disaster

recovery and database management

are all included, freeing up existing IT

resources to perform more valuable

tasks, and removing the “unwanted but

necessary” cost of maintenance to the

business.

Oracle’s Software-as-a-Service

portfolio – spanning nearly 1000

applications – provides maximum cost

flexibility for Cloud customers, who

can activate just one application, or

even one component of an application,

at a time. (And, naturally, you’ll never pay

a version upgrade fee again when using

Cloud-hosted versions, which are always

up-to-date.)

Oracle’s innovative methodology for

cloud security moves defences outward

to the network edge at PoPs or peering

exchanges. This strategy works to block

malware and bots before they get to

Oracle data centres.

This is coupled with Oracle’s highly-

automated defence systems, which work

in conjunction with Oracle Autonomous

Database to automatically detect threats

and install rolling patches.

“The worst data threats in history

have occurred after a patch was made

available,” according to Larry Ellison.

“WE’RE SO CONFIDENT OF OUR COST

ADVANTAGES OVER AMAZON THAT

ORACLE WILL PROVIDE CUSTOMERS WITH

WRITTEN SERVICE-LEVEL AGREEMENTS

THAT GUARANTEE THAT MOVING TO

THE ORACLE CLOUD WILL CUT AMAZON

CUSTOMERS’ DATABASE BILLS IN HALF.”

LARRY ELLISON, ORACLE FOUNDER AND CHIEF TECHNOLOGY OFFICER

ORACLE MISSION CRITICAL RELIABILITY

Oracle guarantees “four nines” –

99.99% – availability for IaaS and

PaaS⁵. Compared to a vendor

offering only 99.9% availability,

that extra digit is the difference

between less than five minutes

a month of system unavailability

and over 40 minutes. Oracle’s

Autonomous Database takes that

service level even further, offering

an unmatched 99.995% reliability

and availability – less than 2.5

minutes unavailability per month.

Oracle Cloud Infrastructure

is designed to give business

direct control over their resources,

ensuring consistency normally

expected from on-premises

data centres.

FAST

Oracle’s access and control of

custom silicon chips, the hardware

platform, the database and the

applications means it can remove

overheads and bottlenecks at all

points in the stack, an advantage

competitors simply cannot match.

Oracle Cloud’s clear speed

advantage is documented in

independent testing published

by Accenture.

“The tests clearly showed that the

Oracle Cloud options provided

the high levels of performance

that enterprise solutions require.

Overall, the Oracle Cloud solutions

delivered up to 3.4 times the

performance of a similar IaaS

solution on the other cloud when

running the same workloads on

like-for-like configurations.”7

INTELLIGENT AUTONOMOUS

Oracle’s Autonomous Database

Cloud leads the world in minimising

human management. It automatically

upgrades, patches and tunes itself

while running, with no downtime at all

required for maintenance. The artificial

intelligence that drives it automatically

compresses, caches and indexes the

database, allowing it to guarantee

99.995% reliability and availability.

This “self-driving” approach is

progressively being built deeply

into the Oracle Cloud stack, with

machine learning-driven user

and entity behaviour analytics to

automatically isolate and eliminate

suspicious and malicious users,

automated code generation for

application development, automated

encryption and patching, and

dozens of other AI and ML-driven

automations. This minimises

maintenance overheads whilst

simultaneously increasing security.

LARGE AUSTRALIAN FOOTPRINT

Oracle Cloud’s data centre is

fully operational in Australia.

It joins Oracle’s existing data

centres in EMEA, the Americas

and Asia, giving Oracle Cloud

customers global reach with

remarkably low latency between

regions, and to the end user.

Oracle’s Australian region data

centres enable customers to

deploy both Oracle and non-

Oracle workloads on the cloud,

while delivering the advantages

of lower latency and local data

residency.

LICENSING SIMPLICITY

Oracle customers with on-

premises licences can simply

move them to Oracle PaaS

offerings, including Oracle

database, middleware and

analytics, and get significantly

reduced prices on the

corresponding PaaS offerings.

This gives corporate customers

more flexibility in deploying

both to cloud and on-premises

technologies, and protects

previous investments.

And, of course, using Oracle’s

technology in the cloud, there’s

no complexity around complying

with licensing – everything

is managed and audited

automatically for you.

CLOUD 2.0: ORACLE’S INVESTMENT IN NEXT GENERATION

Oracle has been building all its

technologies for the last decade

to be cloud ready. Its database and

server technologies already power

many of the world’s most secure,

robust and dynamic environments.

That’s why Oracle has been able

to go to market with Oracle Cloud

in such an apparently short space

of time.

However, as a relatively recent

entrant into the public cloud

market, Oracle has had the

advantage of hiring the top

talent and taking industry best

practice into its architecture from

the outset, rather than having

to experiment and fix missteps

later. Former Google App Engine

Exec, Peter S. Magnusson, led the

establishment of Oracle Cloud.

Former AWS Star Engineer, Clay

Magouyrk, is now Oracle Cloud

Infrastructure, Senior Vice-

President. They are just

two of the thousands of people

who have chosen to move to

Oracle to build the future of Cloud.

#10BREAKTHROUGH DESIGN

Rather than having engineering

expertise tied up in managing

sprawling legacy cloud

infrastructure, Oracle has moved

on to defining the next generation

of cloud: what it calls Oracle

Cloud Infrastructure 2.0 (OCI).

It’s not hyperbolic to say that this

generation 2.0 cloud data centre

architecture is groundbreaking.

The new architecture is highly

fault-tolerant, secure and fast.

The design is elegant in its

simplicity: each Oracle Cloud

data centre forms an “availability

domain”. Three of them are

clustered in relatively close

geographic proximity and linked

on an extremely high-speed, fully

encrypted, point-to-point network

link, forming a “region” or “zone”.

“WE PUT THEM

CLOSE TOGETHER,

WE INTERCONNECT

THEM WITH A FIBRE

OPTIC RING, AND WE

DUPLICATE THE DATA,

OR ‘TRIPLICATE’ THE

DATA IN ALL OF THE

AVAILABILITY ZONES.”

LARRY ELLISON, ORACLE FOUNDER

AND CHIEF TECHNOLOGY OFFICER

15


Inside a region, data moves at a

staggering 1Tbps with sub 1ms latency.

This phenomenal speed allows powered-

on virtual machines to be ported live

between data centre while continuing to

run, with full encryption on the wire.

This level of performance allows

clients’ applications to be tolerant to

geographical infrastructure failures –

the application instantly fails over to

another region where the data has been

constantly replicated. Regions include

Australia, New Zealand, Asia-Pacific,

Singapore, East and West Coast US,

North and South UK, EU, Germany and

the Middle East.

FROM BARE METAL TO DOCKER AND EVERY VM IN-BETWEEN

For the most demanding workloads

requiring maximum compute power,

Oracle Cloud Infrastructure 2.0 offers

bare-metal servers (with one-click

installation and configuration of Oracle

Database, RAC and Exadata) and a

Docker-based container service (Oracle

Container Cloud Service).

BETWEEN REGIONS,

DATA STREAMS AT 100

GIGABITS PER SECOND,

AND PREDICTABLE LOW

LATENCY OF JUST 100MS.

They can be run alongside more

traditional virtual machines and

engineered systems (preoptimised

and preconfigured combinations of

software, servers and storage,

configured to current best practices

by Oracle, providing an optimal

solution for all database workloads).
