ORACLE CLOUD

Where Everything Belongs: Welcome the Giant Enterprise Application

The distinction is direct and unambiguous. While the other three worldwide giants in the hyperscaler cloud area began with renowned consumer-facing technologies that changed the computer and internet industries, Oracle arguably accomplished a comparable success for the corporate vertical. Oracle’s entry into the cloud market with Oracle Cloud Infrastructure (OCI) was sure to shake up the corporate modernization industry, given the company’s global reputation for its business solutions suite, which includes databases, ERP, CRM, EPM, and other products. And, so it did. Today, OCI remains a crucial option for corporations migrating and transforming their on-premises applications, businesses seeking to establish a harmonious cloud environment for their third-party and custom-built applications, and ISVs offering innovative solutions to millions of enterprises worldwide. Business application creation, re-architecture or modernization, multi-ecosystem connection, and delivery to end users have never been more agile and scalable. Oracle’s increasing emphasis on creating application environments that operate smoothly across the OCI, private clouds, hybrid ecosystems, and other multiple cloud solutions further sweetens the deal for end-user organisations and cloud service providers.

Which 6 R Application Modernization Framework on Oracle Cloud Model Best Suits Your Organization?

Cloud-based application modernisation is an absolute need for revitalising IT processes and expanding delivery and service experiences. As a result of the absence of app modernization on cloud expertise, however, the majority of organisations just lift and transfer their apps, resulting in severely constrained and decreased performance.

The comprehensive cloud strategy, development, full-stack architecture, maintenance, and security engineers at CDWT function as an extended team to modernise a client’s whole application environment on the Oracle Cloud. Using the sophisticated 6 R Methodology, rehash and relaunch your apps to unleash more agility, increased performance, and end-user excellence enabled by a smart OCI backend.

REPURCHASE (DROP & SHOP)

This phase entails minimum changes to transition to a cloud-based system. The business abandons its on-premises software licence and migrates to the cloud-based version of the same software, effectively repurchasing the licence.

REHOST (LIFT & SHIFT)

Identify the apps and current workloads that need to be lifted and shifted to the cloud environment. The migration utilises cutting-edge native tools and support services to migrate the current on-premises application stack to the cloud.

REPLATFORM (Lift, Change, Shift)

This procedure employs the same methods as the migration of on-premises platforms and applications to the cloud ecosystem. In this case, however, adjustments are performed to optimise the cloud performance of the platforms.

REFACTORY/ REARCHITECT

This phase or approach involves the most effort and expenses as the existing on-prem applications, databases, and workloads are significantly over-hauled, often at the codebase levels, to move them to the cloud. In this phase, it is usual practise to divide monolithic structures into microservice designs for improved cloud performance. As the programme is modified to fit the cloud's natural environment, such an approach guarantees that the greatest capabilities of the cloud are used.

RETIRE

This method includes the identification of duplicate apps or platforms that might result in needless cloud load/overprovisioning, hence driving up operating expenses. Under such conditions, businesses may decide to retire and replace the application with a cloud-friendly one.

RETIRE

Businesses may choose to keep certain old on-premises apps operational if they give high performance and are related to crucial initiatives. In such a scenario, the remaining core systems may function in the cloud, while the maintained on-premises applications may work independently or in tandem with the cloud applications through APIs.

Align your DevOps environment across diverse application landscapes by integrating essential technologies like as containerization using Docker and Kubernetes for Oracle Cloud, orchestration, and Infrastructure as a Code. Utilize CDWT's main toolkit experience in platform architectures, configuration, CI/CD pipeline, coding, systems development, automation, and testing to enhance your cloud-based DevOps and application operations. With the OCI advantage, construct apps on the language of choice -.NET, PHP,.NET Core, Node.js, Java, and Python; bring in containers and frameworks-libraries of choice; increase developer productivity; and simplify CI/CD pipelines.

Monolithic architectures, which have powered legacy systems and software for decades, are increasingly being replaced. Due to their unsurpassed rigidity, conventional architectures make it difficult for engineers to detect code faults or implement significant changes. With the cloud revolution driving updated development environments, deconstruct historical systems and create new software in a powerfully modularized manner: abstracted components devoted to executing important functions, woven into a central whole with the aid of innovative tools. Such modularized, self-sufficient software parts make it simple to identify faults, push updates, and automate the delivery process for quicker provisioning and operation in live situations. This also helps with load distribution and traffic management. Individual server functions executing each microservice segment may be individually scaled up or down depending on traffic needs without impacting the overall performance of the programme, hence eliminating server overprovisioning and lowering costs.

If microservices are believed to revolutionise how applications and software are produced or constructed, Serverless or Functions-as-a-Service assures that the same are executed in an agile and transformational manner on the cloud. Once the produced code is transferred to the cloud using this method, the microservice modules or functions are given separate servers/fire only when the specific function is invoked, hence eliminating idle running or overprovisioning. Under this design, the company just pushes the modules to the cloud environment, and the cloud environment handles the rest, including assigning servers to execute the modules. Adopt the Functions-as-a-Service methodology for the app modernization process, covering frontend applications, middleware, operating systems, libraries, frameworks, APIs, and virtual machines. Integrate microservices design with containerization in order to maximise FaaS on OCI. Using serverless event processing, design and construct the architecture of an event-driven application that consumes data streams, processes them in the cloud, and synchronises the results back to back-end databases with zero data loss, zero disturbance, and ultra-low latency. Leverage Oracle Cloud Functions to allow serverless operations.

Oracle Cloud Services – FAQ’s

What is meant by Cloud-based application modernization?
Application modernization in the cloud entails modifying, re-architecting, or refining applications to integrate and function without interruption on the chosen cloud platform.

Legacy programmes are often hardwired to certain systems, kernels, or backends; hence, merely lifting and shifting them to the cloud results in poor performance.

Modernizing programmes should be at the top of corporate owners' to-do lists for maximising the benefits of sophisticated cloud architecture and ensuring optimal workload performance.
How can application modernisation be achieved?
Application modernisation may be accomplished via the 6 Rs, or Repurchase, Rehost, Replatform, Refactor, Retire, and Retain.

The first strategy is a straightforward migration of on-premises software to its cloud-based counterpart, which entails changing licencing.

Rehosting entails moving apps as-is to the cloud environment, while Replatforming entails the same process but with a few adjustments for enhanced cloud performance.

Refactoring or re-architecting programmes entails breaking down monolithic structures into smaller modules or microservices and rebuilding codebases in order to not only move them to the cloud but also make them cloud-ready end-to-end.

Retire and Retain refers to the replacement of obsolete, superfluous software and the retention of current, mission-critical on-premises programmes, respectively.
What are the primary application modernisation components?
Application modernisation influences the whole lifetime, inputs, and outputs of the application.

Consequently, in order to properly modernise apps, businesses must remodel app databases, fine-tune database management systems, adjust application networks-protocols-libraries, customise servers, connect with DevOps, and simplify app security.

Firms may do the aforementioned without interruption by using the services of application modernization partners like CDWT or native cloud-based technologies.
