Cloud Databases: The Intelligent Source behind Data-driven Enterprise Strategies
Organizations around the world are enhancing their data footprints. For long, they have been tackling management and migration of siloed, distributed and complex data. The need for seamless data segregation and analysis for accelerated business performance demanded the expertise of advanced technologies such as Big Data and Artificial Intelligence (AI). At least half of the organizations are caught in the cost and timeline conundrum, where they have spent large amounts for long-pending data management projects. These challenges can only be resolved by moving from legacy systems to modern cloud-based landscapes.
Oracle and CloudEngine: The Power Data Duo
Oracle Cloud Infrastructure has ushered in new waves in the enterprise world. A legacy leader in the Infra-as-a-Service space, Oracle Cloud has since graduated into a transformative solution riding on two unique propositions. For one, the cloud’s tailored to address the fast-growing heterogeneous migration needs(hybrid and multi-cloud capabilities). On the flip enterprises can leverage, integrate Oracle’s industry-leading business applications and third-party solutions with equal ease. Such a commitment does require a powerful database orchestration, integration, and management service at the backend, a feat the organization has successfully achieved.
As the world’s leading automation-driven, application-focused managed cloud service provider, CloudEngin streamlines database migration journeys to the cloud with unparalleled efficiency and rich outcomes. Being a trusted Oracle Cloud partner, CloudEngin eases the orchestration and unification of enterprise databases across ecosystems to safely migrate the same onto the OCI. The latter guarantees one-stop visibility and management of multi-platform databases from a single source of truth, ensuring best-in-class performance, scalability, and security. With databases on the Oracle Cloud, firms unlock the secret to achieve truly data-driven ambitions with fail-proof compliance, governance, and intelligence.
