  • Cloud Accelerates Linux Adoption IDC ANALYZE the FUTURE
    IDC White Paper | Cloud Accelerates Linux Adoption IDC ANALYZE THE FUTURE Sponsored by: Cloud Accelerates Linux Adoption Oracle Corp. IDC OPINION Authors: Ashish Nadkarni Cloud has become a crucial foundation for digital transformation (DX) initiatives and Gary Chen is shaping the IT strategy of enterprises today. Companies are extending their IT February 2018 infrastructure into the cloud for running business-critical applications, developing new applications, and delivering new cloud-based services. Applications are the lifeblood of modern enterprises. They are the foundation on which businesses maintain their existing revenue streams while examining ways to create new ones. A sound application strategy is a must for frms to be successful in expanding their competitive differentiation in the digital economy. Operating systems (OSs) provide a common foundational layer that enables IT to run current and new generations of applications in traditional IT environments, on its own private cloud, and in public clouds and utilize a variety of computing options such as bare metal, virtualization, and containerization. The increased reliance of IT on the cloud has accelerated the adoption of open source operating systems, Linux being the chief among them. Over the past decade, Linux has evolved to be a versatile platform for current- and new-generation applications — a platform that can run in the cloud or on-premises and can include open source tools and frameworks used in modern application development.

  • Getting the Most from Oracle Database in the Cloud with Oracle Exadata
    White Paper Getting the Most from Oracle Database in the Cloud with Oracle Exadata Sponsored by: Oracle Carl W. Olofson Ashish Nadkarni November 2019 IN THIS WHITE PAPER It has been well established that the best possible environment for running Oracle Database is Oracle Exadata. This white paper focuses on the best solution for Oracle Database users who wish to enjoy the power and reliability of Exadata in conjunction with SaaS and other applications they are running on public cloud services. The paper considers the inherent compromises involved in running Oracle Database on non-Oracle, generic public cloud services, which do not support Oracle Exadata. Finally, the paper examines a solution that involves deploying Exadata in a colocation center that has a high- speed interconnect with the leading public cloud services, delivering Exadata power while overcoming the latency issue of connecting to applications in the public cloud. SITUATION OVERVIEW Oracle Database in the Public Cloud Increasingly, Oracle Database users are looking to move their applications to the public cloud or, in some cases, adopt SaaS applications while seeking to deploy Oracle Database in that public cloud, alongside the application. If the application is an Oracle application, the most straightforward way to do this is to move to the Oracle Cloud version of that application. For other applications, users are often choosing other cloud services, such as AWS, Microsoft Azure, or Google Cloud Platform (GCP). For databases that do not have significant performance or scalability requirements, deployment in public cloud environments may be just fine. Many Oracle customers, however, depend on the performance, scalability, and robustness that they have come to expect from the Oracle Exadata platform.

  • Licensing; Oracle Software; Cloud Computing Environment
    Licensing Oracle Software in the Cloud Computing Environment Approved Vendors This policy applies to cloud computing environments from the following vendors: Amazon Web Services – Amazon Elastic Compute Cloud (EC2), Amazon Relational Database Service (RDS) and Microsoft Azure Platform (collectively, the ‘Authorized Cloud Environments’). This policy applies to these Oracle programs. For the purposes of licensing Oracle programs in an Authorized Cloud Environment, customers are required to count as follows: Amazon EC2 and RDS - count two vCPUs as equivalent to one Oracle Processor license if hyper-threading is enabled, and one vCPU as equivalent to one Oracle Processor license if hyper-threading is not enabled. Microsoft Azure – count two vCPUs as equivalent to one Oracle Processor license if hyper- threading is enabled, and one vCPU as equivalent to one Oracle Processor license if hyper- threading is not enabled. When counting Oracle Processor license requirements in Authorized Cloud Environments, the Oracle Processor Core Factor Table is not applicable. When licensing Oracle programs with Standard Edition One, Standard Edition 2, or Standard Edition in the product name, the pricing is based on the size of the instance. Authorized Cloud Environment instances with four or fewer Amazon vCPUs, or four or fewer Azure vCPUs, are counted as 1 socket, which is considered equivalent to an Oracle processor license. For Authorized Cloud Environment instances with more than four Amazon vCPUs, or more than four Azure vCPUs, every four Amazon vCPUs used (rounded up to the nearest multiple of four), and every four Azure vCPUs used (rounded up to the nearest multiple of four) equate to a licensing requirement of one socket.

  • IBM Mainframe to Oracle Cloud Reference Architecture
    IBM Mainframe to Oracle Cloud Reference Architecture Astadia Mainframe-to-Cloud Modernization Series IBM Mainframe to Oracle Cloud Reference Architecture Abstract In businesses today, across all market segments, cloud computing has become the focus of current and future technology needs for the enterprise. The cloud offers compelling economics, the latest technologies and platforms, and the agility to adapt your information systems quickly and efficiently. However, many large organizations are burdened by much older, previous generation platforms, typically in the form of a mainframe computing environment. Although old and very expensive to maintain, the mainframe platform continues to run the most important information systems of an organization. The purpose of this reference architecture is to assist business and IT professionals as they prepare plans and project teams to start the process of moving mainframe-based application portfolios to Oracle Cloud. We will also share various techniques and methodologies that may be used in forming a complete and effective Legacy Modernization plan. In this document, we will explore: Why modernize a mainframe The challenges associated with mainframe modernization An overview of the IBM mainframe The IBM Mainframe to Oracle Cloud Reference Architecture An overview of Oracle Cloud services A look at the Astadia Success Methodology This document is part of the Astadia Mainframe to Cloud Modernization Series that leverages Astadia’s 25+ years of mainframe platform modernization expertise. © 2017 Astadia.
