[MUSIC PLAYING] Many DBAs are exploring migrating some on-premises Oracle databases to the AWS cloud to create a hybrid environment with the benefits of flexibility, scalability, and reduced costs. Here's how you can accomplish an Oracle-to-AWS migration in five easy steps using Quest Tools.
To decide which databases to move, consider factors like application support, compatibility, cost, security, and performance. You may also be able to downsize your Oracle Enterprise Edition licenses to Oracle Standard Edition.
Benchmark Factory uses industry-standard tests to stress and compare the performance of Oracle on-premises versus Oracle and AWS. This helps you decide which AWS service tier will give you the performance you expect.
During the test, use Foglight for Databases to monitor database performance and see how it compares as user load increases. Use Foglight for Databases for ongoing performance monitoring across your hybrid database environment.
Before migration, determine if you're moving personally identifiable or sensitive information. Use Toad for Oracle with sensitive data protection to identify tables that contain sensitive information. You can also define your own rules to detect sensitive data.
Data replication, synchronization, and reconciliation with SharePlex ensures your data is migrated without any data loss or downtime. Once all the data is migrated, SharePlex will keep both databases. In sync for as long as needed.
At a high level, that's it. Once you've migrated your Oracle database to AWS, use Foglight for Databases to monitor database performance for both the on-premises Oracle DB and the cloud instance. Keep using Toad for Oracle to maintain and manage or Oracle Cloud databases in the same way as your on-premises databases, even if you decide to downsize to Standard Edition.
With the right tools from Quest, you can decide if Oracle on AWS provides the same flexibility scalability, and performance as your on-premises Oracle databases. You can also ensure the correct resource sizing now and for the future, then easily replicate your on-premises database to the cloud with no data loss or downtime.
Manage and monitor your cloud instances with the same tools you use for on-premises databases for a consistent experience. Learn more at Quest.com/Oracle-to-AWS.
