Beyond the TCO Benefits

Beyond cost, customers have experienced improved agility and streamlined infrastructure while migrating to OCI which can be read in this ebook. The following are the key benefits of running Oracle E-Business Suite on Oracle Cloud Infrastructure:

  • Manages and reduces capital expenditure (CAPEX) by ensuring the datacenters you maintain are efficient while eliminating server hardware and taking advantage of cloud flexibility where possible.
  • Results in 30% increased performance, 2-10 times faster reporting.
  • Provides high availability with Recovery Time Objective (RTO) < 4 hours and Recovery Point Objective (RPO) < 4 hours.
  • Maximizes your solution availability using Oracle Real Application Clusters (RAC) or Oracle Database Exadata Cloud Service in the cloud.
  • Provides rapid “in-place” technology refresh and patching.
  • Provides proactive monitoring of usage and costs.
  • Provides near-instant scaling up or scaling down (to handle business growth or workload bursts at month-end).
  • Provides federated identity with your existing systems.
  • Helps reduce audit length and cost; security and compliance overhead for IaaS is Oracle’s responsibility.

By running Oracle E-Business Suite on Oracle Cloud Infrastructure:

  • Transform large, irregular CAPEX expenditures to predictable operating expenditure (OPEX).
  • “Pay as you go” based on usage.
  • Bring your own Oracle licenses to Oracle Cloud Infrastructure to leverage your existing investments, including monitoring, operational runbooks, skills, and workflow.

Optimize TCO While Leveraging an Oracle MSE – Services to Pick and Choose

The above TCO calculations cover infrastructure components, however, moving traditional on-premises Oracle EBS environments to an Oracle Cloud Infrastructure does not eliminate tasks to manage and optimize for maximizing cloud your investments.

The complexity of Oracle workloads, and more specifically the contracting, architectural design, and implementation of these workloads, requires expertise that most companies may not have internally.

The cost associated with these services can only be accounted for on a case-to-case basis depending on various environmental scenarios. Hence it is advisable to know how to leverage Oracle Cloud certified partner to assess the TCO for cloud, migration, management, and optimization services
