Technical Breakdown:

API's ACES application was based on an Oracle Database Appliance (ODA) X-5 HA system, an on-premises platform.

Objectives of the Migration:

• Migrate the ACES application to the cloud with a zero-risk approach.

• Dynamically handle peak workloads.

• Achieve migration with no downtime.

• Ensure high availability and robust disaster recovery.

Cintra's Methodological Approach:

Database Optimization and Licensing Assessment (OLA):

• Conducted a deep discovery process with zero impact on critical systems.

• Collected detailed configuration and workload metadata.

• Proposed right-sized AWS architectures.

Migration Acceleration Program (MAP):

• Launched following the OLA.

• Delivered a thorough assessment detailing Total Cost of Ownership (TCO).

• Held collaborative workshops covering databases, infrastructure, applications, and business requirements.

• Presented a detailed migration plan.

Benefits & Advantages:

• Operational Stability: Ensured smooth operations during peak times through dynamic scalability.

• Licensing Clarity: Optimized Oracle licensing for compliance and cost-efficiency.
