Oracle Cloud Infraestructure Services (OCI)
Oracle Cloud is the first public cloud built from the ground up to become a better cloud for every application. By rethinking the engineering and design of systems for cloud computing, Oracle has created innovations that solve problems customers have with existing public clouds. Oracle OCI accelerates migrations of existing enterprise workloads, delivers greater reliability and performance for all applications, and offers comprehensive services that customers need to build innovative applications in the cloud.
Currently in 2023, Oracle Cloud spans 46 geographically interconnected commercial and government cloud regions. Unlike other providers, in each region it offers a suite of more than 100 Oracle Cloud Infrastructure services, with low prices around the world. To more comprehensively support customers’ cloud strategies, Oracle Cloud also offers a full suite of Applications and a direct interconnection with Microsoft Azure.
Gartner® recognizes Oracle OCI as a visionary solution in the cloud infrastructure and platform services category in its Magic Quadrant™ de 2022.
Tecnova offers the following services associated with Oracle Cloud:
1. OCI Migration. Migration to the Cloud
What is cloud migration?
It is the process by which digital assets, such as data, applications, and IT resources, are transferred to the cloud. Traditionally, organizations run their applications and services on a self-managed IT infrastructure, which is maintained in a data center. Some organizations may have hundreds of databases, applications and software running on-premises. When you migrate to the cloud, you move these workloads from on-premises data centers to the cloud service provider’s infrastructure in a planned and non-disruptive manner.
What are the benefits of migrating to the cloud?
Below we explain some benefits of migrating to the cloud.
Cost effectiveness
Organizations that move to the cloud reduce infrastructure maintenance costs, such as hardware acquisition, power, and cooling costs. You only pay for the cloud resources you use, making it easy to scale up or down based on business demand.
Scalability
Businesses can easily adjust their IT resources in response to fluctuating workloads without undergoing costly and time-consuming infrastructure upgrades. This scalability helps ensure that applications run optimally during peak times and that resources are not wasted during off-peak hours.
Performance
When a company migrates to the cloud, it benefits from the latest advances in server and networking technology. This ensures faster processing speeds and optimal application performance. By migrating to the cloud, applications and services operate at peak performance. This improves the user experience, increases productivity and provides a competitive advantage.
Sustainability
Due to its scale, Oracle OCI achieves higher levels of energy efficiency than traditional data centers. Server utilization is optimized and more energy-efficient hardware is used.
Security
Oracle is constantly investing in security to protect its infrastructure and data. This means they typically have strong security measures in place, such as encryption, multi-factor authentication (MFA), and regular security audits. Additionally, there are various backup and disaster recovery mechanisms to protect all digital assets.
The service of moving cargo to the cloud provided by Tecnova is mainly based on a Lift and Shift strategy, which consists of the following stages:
- ASSESMENT – PLANNING: Prepare an execution roadmap where we identify the objectives, milestones and tasks to be executed, as well as the technical feasibility of the activities to be executed.
- DEPLOYMENT: Execute the strategic plan, guaranteeing an end-to-end migration.
- OPTIMIZATION: We look for ways to introduce best operational practices and opportunities to implement into existing processes.
2. OCI Systems Management. Operational Continuity at Oracle OCI
The operational continuity service offered by Tecnova covers the following aspects:
Monitoring and Observability
An observable environment reduces risk, increases agility, and improves the customer experience. This service elevates operational excellence with proactive 24/7 activity and incident monitoring to ensure availability and resilience.
Configuration, Compliance and Audit
Tecnova helps customers configure their environments by providing time-tested security mechanisms, security checks, and the most up-to-date best practices. We provide guidance and best practice execution through specialized automations, skills, and experience that are contextual to your environment and applications.
Centralized Operations Management
Tecnova’s model is based on a continuous learning mechanism that evaluates workloads and pipelines based on changing security policies. With each interaction, we iterate and improve clients’ operating models by adjusting alarms, creating automations, and adding new monitors and service level indicators.
Corporate Governance and Controls
In order to provide governance transparency, we deliver reports from several native Oracle OCI services to summarize key performance metrics. This includes an executive summary and consumption information, as well as detailed details of incidents and performance.
