YES, You Can Migrate Non-Oracle Apps to OCI - Cloud Advisory

If you thought that Oracle Cloud Infrastructure (OCI) was strictly for Oracle applications, you should think again. The truth is, you can migrate any workload to Oracle Cloud—and most customers do. Oracle Cloud supports much more than just Oracle applications and databases. In fact, the majority of application workloads that are deployed on Oracle Cloud consist of Microsoft Windows, IBM WebSphere, Tomcat, and JBoss, along with third-party databases such as SQL Server, DB2, MongoDB, Cassandra, Postgres, and Sybase. With Oracle, there is no workload left behind—and no compromise.

Migrating and Hosting Non-Oracle Workloads on OCI

OCI allows for the migration of any workload to the Cloud, setting the stage for a new era of cloud-based data, applications, and infrastructure. For existing customers who are currently running Oracle applications like PeopleSoft, eBusiness Suite, JD Edwards, Hyperion, OBIEE, Primavera, Agile, Siebel, Oracle Fusion Middleware, Oracle Databases and Oracle WebLogic Server on-premise, these workloads can be migrated as-is, upgraded and migrated, refactored and optimized for a smooth transition and implementation to Oracle Cloud. With the addition of Oracle Management Cloud and Oracle Cloud Monitoring Service, you have a single pane of glass view into all applications and infrastructure workloads running on Oracle Cloud, other public and private Clouds, and your on-premise data center environments, thus minimizing costs and reducing complexity. The vast array of migration tools provided by Oracle for migrating Oracle workloads to OCI makes it easy to get started and even easier to scale. You can start by lifting and shifting a handful of business-critical applications to Oracle Cloud Infrastructure (OCI) or you can migrate all - the choice is yours. Your applications and workloads are “lifted” from the current on-prem location and “shifted” as-is to the new premise in the Cloud. With this migration, oftentimes there are no major changes to the architecture of the applications, data flow, or authentications, unless you want to introduce those elements.
