Breaking Free from Legacy UNIX: The Modern Path to EBS on OCI

As on-premises UNIX hardware approaches end-of-life and maintenance costs climb, maintaining Oracle E-Business Suite on legacy platforms becomes a business risk. Moving directly to Oracle Cloud Infrastructure (OCI) offers a powerful alternative to costly hardware refreshes. Join John Abraham from Oracle as he outlines the strategic and technical roadmap for migrating EBS from legacy UNIX platforms to OCI. This session will cover migration methodologies, best practices for cross-platform lift-and-shift, and how to unlock cloud-native performance, scalability, and cost efficiencies once your ERP is on OCI.

Learning Objectives: 

1. Evaluate Migration Strategies: Assess the suitability of different migration approaches (e.g., Lift-and-Shift vs. Re-platforming) specifically when transitioning EBS from legacy UNIX-based architectures to OCI.
2. Navigate Cross-Platform Complexities: Identify technical requirements for addressing platform endianness and data character set compatibility during a move from AIX/Solaris/HP-UX to OCI’s Linux-based environment.
3. Leverage OCI Automation Tools: Understand how to utilize Oracle-provided migration utilities and reference architectures to accelerate project timelines and reduce human error.
4. Optimize Post-Migration Operations: Gain insights into modernizing your ERP ecosystem post-migration by adopting OCI-native features like Exadata Cloud Service, automated patching, and enhanced disaster recovery capabilities.
