Exadata Cloud at Customer – Use Cases • Migrating All our Analytics applications workload to ExaCloud Machine

• Upgrade to 12c for supportability• Use in-Memory configuration for better performance• Use Oracle ASO for encrypting our PCI/PHI/PII data for better

compliance with regulations like HIPPA, PCI etc.• Real Application Testing (Database Replay) for ease of testing

efforts and comparing the performance before and after a release/patch/upgrade

• Active Data guard for read-only reporting systems at our secondary Data Center

• Use Bursting capability of cloud for our various business needs without spending lots of $$$:

• Month and Year End processing• Open Enrolment period

• Provide Active/Active solution across data centers to our mission critical applications to increase the resiliency

15

Exadata Cloud at Customer – Use Cases• Consolidate & standardize (using multi-tenant option) as much

workload possible on Exacloud machine to reduce the database server/storage footprint and license support cost

• Explore opportunities of ExaCS as Active standby for databases that are deployed on ExaCM

Service Level IT Architecture Disaster Recovery

Level Definition HA Design DR Design

Tier 0 Mission Critical Continuous Availability Active/Active, automated

Tier 1 Business Critical High Availability Active/Standby

Tier 2Business Essential High Availability Active/Passive

Tier 3 Operational Optional Optional

Tier 4 Non-Prod Optional N/A

16

Exadata Cloud at Customer – Use Cases• Stack & Rack Vs Cloud Elasticity/Scalability: New project does

take weeks from approved LOE to hardware purchase and Database ready for application. With ExaCM, we will have the platform ready in a day for deploying the database. This also result quick business innovation and tremendous cost savings from project hours perspective.

• Look for opportunities to migrate existing mission critical, business critical and business essential workload on Exadata Cloud Machine

• Adopt DevOps culture for databases and middleware using various tools available on ExaCM/OCM

17

Oracle Cloud at Customer – Use Cases

ü Extending the use of Oracle Cloud at Customer:

• Oracle Database IaaS Virtualization for non-Prod and less Critical Oracle Production databases

• Due to full Parity with Oracle Public Cloud technology, extend the on-prem cloud to Oracle cloud for Oracle databases (Especially for bursting)

• Oracle WebLogic IaaS virtualization for middleware platforms

• Setup our Oracle enterprise Manager (13c) on the OCM

• As OCM X6 supports many more PaaS Services, extend some of the services in the cloud like Java Cloud Services, Golden gate services etc.
