Topics: • Why Migrate to Oracle Cloud Infrastructure • About the Migration Scope • About the Migration Task Flow • About Migration Tooling • About Oracle Cloud Infrastructure Why Migrate to Oracle Cloud Infrastructure Oracle encourages you to migrate your existing cloud resources to Oracle Cloud Infrastructure regions. You can gain several advantages by doing so. In Oracle Cloud, you provision resources in specific regions, which are localized to geographic locations. Certain regions support the Oracle Cloud Infrastructure platform. Oracle Cloud Infrastructure is Oracle's modern cloud platform that's based on the latest cloud technologies and standards. It provides more consistent performance and better features at lower costs. Oracle continues to invest in Oracle Cloud Infrastructure, including the addition of new regions, services, and features. See Data Regions for Platform and Infrastructure Services. You can benefit from these additional administrative features when you migrate your cloud resources to Oracle Cloud Infrastructure: • Organize cloud resources into a hierarchy of logical compartments. • Create fine-grained access policies for each compartment. To learn more, see Upgrade Your Classic Services to Oracle Cloud Infrastructure. About the Migration Scope An Oracle Big Data Cloud cluster can be migrated from Oracle Cloud Infrastructure Classic to Oracle Cloud Infrastructure. This document describes how to perform that migration. 1-1 Chapter 1 About the Migration Scope Note: You can also migrate Oracle Big Data Cloud clusters to Cloudera on Oracle Cloud Infrastructure IaaS. For instructions, see My Oracle Support Doc ID 2572925.1 at http://support.oracle.com. You're advised to retain your Oracle Big Data Cloud cluster(s) for a minimum of three months after setting up a functional alternative environment, at least in a stopped state, so if any data, metadata, or configuration is missing you can refer to the cluster to get the required information. When a cluster is in a stopped state you're not charged for compute resources, but are still charged for storage. See Stop, Start, and Restart a Cluster in Using Oracle Big Data Cloud. The following table lists the artifacts that can be migrated from Oracle Big Data Cloud. Artifact Approach More Information Data in HDFS Copy HDFS data to the Export Data in HDFS Oracle Cloud Infrastructure object store Data in the Oracle Copy data to the Oracle Topics in Export Data from the Oracle Cloud Infrastructure Cloud Infrastructure object Cloud Infrastructure Classic Object Classic object store store Store (for clusters based on Oracle Cloud Infrastructure Classic) Hive metadata Dump the Hive database in Topics in Export Metadata the MySQL database in the source Zeppelin notebooks Export notebook definitions Topics in Export Metadata from /user/zeppelin/ notebook in HDFS Configuration files Extract configuration data Topics in Export Metadata (HDFS, YARN, and using the Ambari REST API.

  • 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.

  • The Effectiveness of CEO Leadership Styles in the Technology Industry
    The Effectiveness of CEO Leadership Styles in the Technology Industry Sean Dougherty, Andrew Drake Advisors: Dr. Jonathan Scott and Professor Katherine Nelson Temple University Explanation of research The purpose of this research is to determine the impact of leadership style on financial success. A great deal of research has been done on the factors that affect the financial success of a company, but leadership is one factor that tends to be overlooked. That is due to the nature of leadership; like other aspects of human resources management such as company culture, leadership is not easily quantifiable. In order to study leadership’s effect on company success, we needed to make leadership less abstract and more concrete. We needed a means of distinguishing the way one person leads in comparison to another person, and the solution was presented to us upon reading Primal Leadership. Authors Daniel Goleman, Richard Boyatzis, and Annie McKee make the detailed claim that the way a person leads can always be categorized into at least one of six distinct emotional leadership styles. We seek to build on the research of Goleman, Boyatzis, and McKee by analyzing the effectiveness of each of these styles in terms of driving financial success. To measure financial success, we looked at the behavior of stock price in the time following an initial public offering. For our data set, we chose to study 60 companies in the technology industry that have gone public since the year 2000. With each company, we researched the CEO who led the company during the IPO and assigned him or her one to two leadership styles that he or she exhibits.
