Like many organizations with mission-critical applications, scalability is often an issue. See how API, with Cintra's help, overcame the challenges of legacy technology with the AWS DB OLA and MAP programs.
Facing the pressing challenges of a legacy platform and the looming shadow of technical debt? It's time to look to the future and evolve. Dive into a world where downtime is minimized, efficiency is maximized, and the business is aligned to a flexible technology platform.
Starting Context: API's primary application, ACES, ran on an on-premises platform based on an Oracle Database Appliance (ODA) X-5 HA system.
Objectives of the Migration:
Migrate the business-critical ACES application to the cloud using a zero-risk migration approach.
Ensure the ACES application can handle peak workloads dynamically.
Complete the migration without any downtime.
Maintain high availability and robust disaster recovery mechanisms.
Cintra's Methodological Approach:
Database Optimization and Licensing Assessment (OLA):
Initiated a deep discovery process with zero impact on critical systems.
Collected in-depth configuration and workload metadata.
Proposed right-sized AWS architectures.
Migration Acceleration Program (MAP):
Following OLA, the MAP migration services were launched.
Delivered a comprehensive assessment detailing Total Cost of Ownership (TCO).
Collaborative workshops addressed databases, infrastructure, applications, and business requirements.
A detailed migration plan was presented.
Benefits & Advantages:
Operational Stability: Dynamic scalability ensures smooth operations, especially during peak times.
Licensing Clarity: OLA insights optimized Oracle licensing and ensured compliance.
Future-Proof Architecture: The two-phase migration strategy modernized the database to the latest supported technology versions.
