Challenges that DataCenter Exit Addresses
Transitioning from traditional data centers to Oracle Cloud Infrastructure (OCI)
addresses four key challenges: economically meeting demand fluctuations, reducing
costs and improving profitability, accelerating time to market and growth, and adhering
to regulatory requirements. By providing scalable, cost-efficient cloud solutions, OCI
allows businesses to swiftly adjust to changing demands, significantly cuts overheads,
and streamlines IT processes for faster market delivery. In addition, OCI's stringent data
protection measures and region-specific data centers aid businesses in meeting
rigorous regulatory and data residency requirements, thereby facilitating overall
business growth and compliance.
Economically meet demand fluctuations
Oracle Cloud Infrastructure (OCI) is designed to adapt to your business's variable
demands, providing an economically viable solution for fluctuating needs. With its pay-
as-you-go pricing model and scalable resources, OCI ensures that you only pay for what
you use, enabling you to efficiently manage costs during peak and off-peak times
without risking overcommitment or costly downtime.

Reduce costs andimprove profitability
With Oracle Cloud Infrastructure (OCI), businesses can realize substantial cost savings
and enhanced profitability by eliminating unforeseen data center expenses and
reducing overheads. OCI provides transparent, easy-to-understand billing, and its robust
cost management tools enable organizations to gain a clear understanding of their
costs, enabling strategic decision making and effective resource allocation that keeps
your focus on profitable activities.
Faster time to market and growth
Oracle Cloud Infrastructure (OCI) can drastically reduce the time it takes to bring
products and features to market by simplifying and accelerating IT processes. With
support for multiple applications and technology stacks, including significant
workloads on VMware, and by eliminating the need for extensive hardware
administration, OCI frees your team to focus on innovation and growth, rather than
being tied down by routine IT tasks.
Meet regulatory requirements
Oracle Cloud Infrastructure (OCI) is built with an intrinsic focus on compliance and data
residency, making it an ideal solution for organizations that must adhere to strict
regulatory requirements. Not only does OCI offer robust data protection and privacy
features, but its global presence with region-specific data centers helps ensure data
residency needs are met, further bolstering its commitment to regulatory compliance
and sustainability initiatives.

Migration Strategies SuccessMetrics
Migration Strategies
Migration Strategies offer a roadmap for transitioning from traditional data centers to
Oracle Cloud Infrastructure, outlining the critical steps to ensure a smooth and
successful move. These strategies, tailored to your organization's unique needs, aim to
minimize downtime, reduce risks, and maximize the benefits of the cloud environment.
01
Rehosting (“Lift & Shift”)
Applications are moved from the
existing environment to the cloud
with minimal changes. This
strategy is quick and non-disruptive
but may not fully leverage the
advantages of the cloud
environment.
02
Replatforming
Applications are moved to the
cloud with some level of
modification to leverage the
benefits of cloud-native features,
such as scalability and resilience.
03
Refactoring/Re-architecting
This strategy involves making
significant changes to the
application to take full advantage of
cloud-native features and
capabilities While this method is
04
Repurchasing
This strategy involves moving to a
different product that's already
cloud-based. It's sometimes
referred to as "drop and shop."
While this approach can require

capabilities. While thismethod is
the most time-consuming and
complex, it can lead to better
performance, scalability, and cost
savings in the long run.
While this approach can require
significant change, it can be a good
opportunity to update outdated
software and streamline processes.
Why Should You Perform a Data Center Exit?
Data Center Exit Uses
Scale for Existing Applications
Businesses have seen unpredictable growth as well as loss associated with
changing demands.
Even though you know customers want a consistent experience, it is
overwhelming to provide that through unprecedented demand cycles.
By a data center exit, you can automatically scale and tune in on a
comprehensive platform . You can migrate traditional and cloud-native
workloads, even older applications to Oracle Cloud Infrastructure.
Cost Optimization

Estimating costs asa growing business is difficult. If you apply to the discount
program, you have to make predictions for the upcoming year (or three).
The actual usage where you had to pay on-demand are usually much higher
than what you agreed to pay in the beginning.
OCI offers lower and more predictable pricing when compared to other cloud
providers that can charge significantly more.
Transparent costs upfront to help you plan better in advance.
Reduced Complexity
You might have multiple applications and scattered data. The thought of
moving all of them to the cloud might be intimidating.
Oracle Cloud Infrastructure offers the fastest path to the cloud. It allows you to
retain your architecture, eliminate extensive refactoring and modernize with
cloud services as per your requirements.
Navigating Global Regulations
One fundamental aspect of scaling your business is being able to navigate
global regulations to expand your business across new markets and
geographies. Oracle Cloud Infrastructure helps you meet several regulations,
support data privacy and sustainability concerns and much more quickly.
