More automation with Oracle cloud migration
The Register on June 7, 2018
Oracle’s cloud migration service now “enables customers with applications running on premises to upgrade to Oracle Cloud Applications in as little as 20 weeks” but the payoff is worth. A lot of manual transitions are automated.
“Soar” currently works on E-Business Suite, PeopleSoft, and Hyperion. The service is designed to help customers migrate from the company’s PeopleSoft suite to cloudy Oracle applications. For Oracle’s clients, it’ll be much easier to migrate than to constantly upgrade E-Business Suite trying to keep it up-to-date. Once you’re in the cloud you shouldn’t worry about upgrading anymore.
Oracle says the cloud does the security as well. The computers Oracle put into the cloud are different to those used by Microsoft and Amazon since separate application and security processors are attached to the same computer, and processors can’t see into the security processor’s memory and vice versa. If there is an attack, Oracle promises that its staff can’t look at customer data or account balances, which sounds quite promising but you should be aware that different side-channel attacks exist and this technology is no silver bullet either.
