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 the impetus for Platform migration, including the EBS Next Generation Technology Stack, methodologies and best practices for cross-platform application and database tier migrations, and how to unlock manageability, cloud-native performance, scalability, and cost efficiencies once your ERP is on OCI.

Learning Objectives: 

1. Evaluate and understand the need for Migration Strategies: Understand the need for and assess the suitability of different migration approaches, specifically when transitioning EBS from legacy UNIX-based architectures to OCI for the Application Tier.

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 for the Database Tier.

3. Plan for and leverage OCI Automation Tools: Optimize Post-migration operations with the use of EBS Cloud Manager and utilize OCI-native features like Exadata Cloud Service, automated patching, and enhanced disaster recovery capabilities.
