Moving Oracle Applications to the Cloud - Which Cloud is Right for Me?
Download as PPTX, PDF1 like152 views
We have all heard about the cloud and we are told we should be moving there. Are you aware there are different types of cloud? Moving an application to the cloud can be a lot of work, disrupt your business and cost a lot of money. Moving to Infrastructure as a Service however, allows you to keep your customizations, keep the look and feel your users are accustomed to, but also be able to leverage a highly scalable, robust environment. Moving to SaaS means you can leverage the latest technologies and best practices, and focus on your business. If you chose IaaS or SaaS, testing is a common strategic differentiator. Which Cloud is right for you? OCI, AWS, Azure. Let’s look at how the right cloud can move your company forward. This applies to Oracle: JDE, Peoplesoft, Hyperion, OBIEE, and EBS.

- 8. What this Session IS • We will go over the various cloud types • Discuss how cloud is used to mean different things • Understanding these options, pros and cons • Talk about leveraging cloud-based architectures – What works well – What works less well • Applies to many products (on-prem and cloud) – Hyperion, JDEdwards, EBS, PeopleSoft, DRM, OBIEE/OBIA
- 9. What this session is NOT • Not a specific guide for your organization • This is not one-size-fits-all • Deeper conversations needed • You can’t be an expert in 60 min.
- 10. Agenda • What is Cloud? • Types of XaaS – FaaS, SaaS, PaaS, DBaaS, IaaS, Hosting, AMS • Oracle vs other definitions • Decision Matrix • Workload considerations • Extras – backups, cloning, encryption • Compliance issues – multi-tenant, data privacy, data location, PII, PCI, HIPPA • What have we seen…
- 11. Typical Cloud Getting Started Mentality Traditional Silos • Physical • Dedicated • Static • Heterogeneous Consolidated • Virtual • Shared platform & shared infrastructure • Dynamic • Standardized platform & infrastructure Private Cloud • Self-service • Auto-scaling • Metering & chargeback • Capacity planning Public Cloud • Specialized • Shared • Standardized Hybrid Cloud • Federation across public & private clouds • Interoperability • Cloud bursting
- 12. What is Cloud? Multiple definitions out there • Types of Cloud or XaaS – FaaS – SaaS – PaaS – DBaaS – IaaS – Hosting – AMS • Oracle calls these all Cloud, others have different definitions End Users Application Developers Network Architects SaaS PaaS IaaS ValueVisibilitytoEndUsers
- 13. Oracle Cloud High-Level Use Cases Customizations Application Platform Consolidation Cost Savings Customizations App Development Focus Customizations New Capability Speed IT Professional Developer Business End User Application Different Users Service ProviderConsumer Service ProviderConsumer IaaS Cloud Key Driver PaaS Cloud SaaS Cloud
- 14. FaaS – Function-as-a-Service • This is a future option • Buy only what you use • Channel-by-channel, instead of cable or dish lineup SaaS – Software-as-a-Service • Bundled functions into a service • Application that is developed/ported into a shared infrastructure model • Data, applications are typically stored outside your firewall
- 15. PaaS Platform-as-a-Service • Think of this like an SDK (Please don’t shoot me for the over-simplification) • Develop, run, and manage applications without needing to manage the infrastructure • Plug-and-play modules to enhance capabilities quickly • Used to enhance or extend SaaS solutions • Also sometimes used to describe on-prem applications on IaaS
- 16. DBaaS – Database-as-a-Service • Quickly stand up a database, create some tables and upload data IaaS – Software-as-a-Service • Think servers • Bare metal options • Pre-build OS • Get a desktop or server up and running quickly
- 17. Hosting • Putting your on-premises server/DB/app onto someone else's hardware • Could be a virtual or physical move • Could be a rack, or a VM AMS • Third party that you contract to manage your server, DB, application, services etc. • Some of these work together, others build on one another Application Management Services
- 18. SaaS • When the off-the-shelf product will meet your needs • Commodity services • Limited or no customizations • Extensions ok (PaaS) • Operating budget is available • CapEx is not available • Limited interfaces, self-contained business processes Which to use?
- 19. PaaS • Can be in your cloud, or a provider • Quick deployments • Avoids expensive or complex architecture • Convention tools may be limited Which to use?
- 20. IaaS • Major players are Oracle, Amazon, Google, Microsoft • Provides a server (may contain OS, web server etc) • Workloads are quite variable – High usage for short periods of time – Can be turned off at night, weekends, outside peak periods • Need quick provisioning • User self-service Which to use?
- 21. • Can business processes be changed to conform to the application? • Standard processes across the globe • Limited interfaces/data loads • Reporting needs are minimal • Do you own your data? Can you locally store it later? Decision Matrix SaaS
- 22. • A set of questions to help understand the workload being considered • Not all workloads are suitable for the cloud • Best to derive a formula to determine suitability • Based on workload, costs, availability, need to flex CPU, memory, storage Decision Matrix IaaS
- 23. • Can the service be provided outside of your data center? • Allow providers to clone/backup/test DR • Many will include BIOS, OS, Java patching • Ability to grow and shrink CPU, memory, storage needs • Data location/data privacy concerns Decision Matrix Hosting
- 24. • Many times hosting/AMS can be combined for cost savings • May include application/database level patching • Concerns about who has access to the data • Cloning of complex applications like EBS • Provide Level 1 and Level 2 support • More team focus on enhancement backlog Decision Matrix AMS
- 25. Workload Considerations • Workloads are high and consistent • Considerable customization or extensions are needed • Legal/compliance reasons around requiring data stored on site • You have the staff and expertise to support it • Existing software licenses are already paid for • May be best to wait for next upgrade cycle • Business processes are not standardized • Capital vs operating expense • Cloud is not always the cheapest Those were cloud options. On-premises is better when:
- 26. Extras to Consider • Backups • Who is responsible for the backups • BR/DR – how are your backups tested • Storage and retrieval needs • High availability – Can you staff and afford clusters, RAC, etc? • Cloning – creating dev/test environments • Encryption – many providers include encryption in their offerings • Testing – do you have a testing solution or strategy?
- 27. Compliance Issues • Multi-tenant concerns – Are you sharing hardware, data bases? • Data Privacy – is the data PII, PCI, HIPAA? • Data location – Moving to a data center down the street – May not be that simple for compliance – Contracts are often written with language: • Internal data stores • Specific addresses • “Owned” by company
- 28. What We Have Seen… • One size does not fit all • Workloads were a small consideration • Application affinity is a larger consideration • Product maturity was a large driver • Willingness of the business to change processes to comply • Misunderstanding of what cloud providers actually provide • Management tools across solutions are lacking
- 29. If You are Using HR Modules • Many complex integrations, best of breed • Oracle HCM product very mature – Exception payroll – outsource that • Initially moved module by module – Time and labor – Recruitment – Compensation – Benefit tracking • Working to establish core HR • SaaS is commonly the direction HR/HCM
- 30. If You are Using Finance • Cloud offerings in subledger and project accounting are not there yet • EPM products have matured a lot in the past year • Many integrations - reporting needs are huge • Steady workloads • Iaas/Hosting/AMS is commonly the direction Accounting (AR/AP/GL) Planning and Budgeting
- 31. If You are Using Manufacturing • If core to your business – Customizations are your differentiator – Iaas/Hosting/AMS is the direction • If not core to your business – Look for operational cost savings – Leverage new features/capabilities as deployed – SaaS is the direction Manufacturing / Logistics
- 32. In Summary • Be sure to understand which XaaS makes sense, and maybe none do! • Understand your workload • List out the extras that come with the service, not just the functionality • Compliance issues - think like a lawyer
