Many firms have been shifting their IT infrastructure from on-premise to cloud settings in recent months. While some key apps and workloads will remain on-premises and within the organization’s protective limits, those that require scalability and agility will be shifted to the cloud. It is, in reality, more than one cloud.
As a result, there are several cloud service companies involved. CIOs will warn you that this is not an easy undertaking — and that it is far more tedious than moving. Moreover, it’s not as straightforward as ‘lift and shift,’ as industry jargon goes.
However, cloud service providers such as Oracle are offering their customers the tools & support that they need to make the transition to the cloud — Oracle Cloud Infrastructure (OCI).
Oracle announced the debut of Oracle Cloud Lift Services in March 2021. And here’s how it’s assisting international customers. Customers who are most successful work with cloud experts from the beginning. Oracle Cloud Lift Services is used by more than 1,000 businesses worldwide to speed the transfer of mission-critical workloads to Oracle Cloud Infrastructure (OCI).
Oracle is improving its service offering with additional capabilities that make it easier for customers to build and migrate their data lakehouse and AI-enabled application environments to OCI, to meet increasing demands and assist more enterprises in taking advantage of OCI.
Oracle Cloud Lift Services offers cloud engineers’ advice on cloud migration planning, architecture, prototyping, and management. By utilizing these integrated services for customer tenancies, clients can transfer essential workloads in weeks, if not days, rather than months.
