The cloud enables flexible and dynamic consumption of licences, capacity and functionality. It is smart in a world that is becoming less and less predictable. At the same time, it provides big savings when you move Oracle databases to the cloud.
There are major improvements, changes and the launch of new services in Oracle Cloud.
- We see a very big development now. Especially around the cloud-based solutions. There are major improvements, changes and the launch of new services in Oracle Cloud. Technical solutions presented today may be different in the near future, continues Øverlid, who has over 20 years' experience with Oracle databases and larger production systems.
- Strategic and correct choices regarding licenses and servers that were made several years ago need not be optimal today, says Øvrelid.
When moving Oracle databases to the cloud, there are three topics in particular that you need to be aware of:
1. Capacity calculations around CPU consumption and license requirements. In other words, how license and CPU consumption is estimated in the cloud.2. Standard Edition vs Enterprise Edition, what are the right type of licenses and options for a given database solution?
3. What is the suitable platform on which a given database should run,iaas , PaaS or DBaaS. What opportunities and limitations do the various platforms provide for capacity, administration, operation and maintenance?
