As of 2024, over 52% of organizations have transitioned the majority of their IT infrastructure, applications, and databases to the cloud. For enterprises running Oracle on-premises databases, the urgency to modernize enterprise data management is growing, yet it must be balanced with the need to maintain the reliability of mission-critical systems. Cloud adoption is no longer a choice; it’s essential for long-term competitiveness.
Amazon Web Services (AWS) provides the scalable and secure foundation needed for this transformation, while ChainSys brings the automation, governance, and deep Oracle expertise to ensure a smooth, risk-mitigated transition.
In this article, we explore how migrating Oracle database workloads to AWS, powered by ChainSys, delivers improved agility, optimized performance, reduced costs, and a future-ready cloud architecture.
Why Migrate Oracle to AWS Now?
Oracle databases have been at the heart of enterprise systems for decades, powering critical business applications across finance, supply chain, human resources, and customer management. While these databases remain foundational, the way organizations store, access, and leverage data has evolved.
Legacy on-premises infrastructure often presents challenges such as:
Modern enterprises need hybrid cloud data management strategies, real-time access to analytics, cloud-native applications, and agile scalability. This is where cloud data architecture plays a transformative role.
By migrating Oracle databases to the AWS Cloud, businesses can evolve from legacy systems to intelligent, scalable, and cost-effective infrastructures designed for the future.
Oracle on AWS: A Strategic Partnership
Moving Oracle workloads to AWS emphasizes synergy, not replacement. Oracle continues to excel in structured data handling, OLTP performance, and enterprise-grade governance. AWS complements this with elasticity, automation, security certifications, and a vast ecosystem.
Key advantages:
Hosted in AWS via Amazon RDS for Oracle (managed) or Amazon EC2 (with full control), Oracle workloads preserve their proven capabilities while gaining the full benefits of AWS infrastructure.
