Oracle released PeopleSoft Cloud Manager in 2017 featuring in-depth automation to help accelerate adoption of Oracle Cloud (Classic) as an efficient deployment platform for PeopleSoft customers. With the excitement generated around Oracle Cloud Infrastructure (OCI)--a cloud designed for the enterprise customer--several customers and partners have been looking forward to taking advantage of the enhanced OCI with PeopleSoft Cloud Manager. Oracle is pleased to announce Cloud Manager’s support for OCI beginning with today’s release of PeopleSoft Cloud Manager Version 6.
So, what is new and exciting in PeopleSoft Cloud Manager Version 6? For the first time, there are two images provided: one for OCI, and the other for OCI Classic. The Cloud Manager Image 6 for OCI supports a number of OCI features, including Regions, Virtual Cloud Networks, Subnets, Compute and DB System platforms. With this image, instances will be provisioned on VM shapes. Customers can lift and shift PeopleSoft environments from on-premises to OCI using the same approach they used OCI Classic.
For PeopleSoft Cloud Manager on OCI Classic, we have enabled support for the lift and shift of on-premises databases encrypted with Oracle Transparent Data Encryption (TDE). TDE offers another level of data security that customers are looking for as data is migrated to the cloud. A ‘Clone to template’ option is also available for encrypted databases.
The lift utility requires a few parameters for TDE so that the encrypted database may be packaged and lifted to the cloud.
During shift process, the same parameters are required to deploy the lifted database.
Customers have also requested an enhancement to support non-Unicode databases for PeopleSoft environments. PeopleSoft Cloud Manager Version 6 supports lift and shift of environments that use non-Unicode Databases. Unlike image 5, a conversion of the on-premises database to Unicode is no longer required prior to using Cloud Manager’s Lift and Shift automation.
To get your hands on the new Cloud Manager images, go to the Oracle Marketplace and look for either the OCI-Classic image or the OCI image…or try both! Be sure to review the documentation and additional important information mentioned in the Marketplace listings.
We are excited to combine the automation of provisioning and maintenance that PeopleSoft Cloud Manager provides with the robust benefits of Oracle Cloud Infrastructure. Combining support for OCI with the additional features of non-Unicode databases and TDE encrypted databases, we expect all customers to benefit from the latest Cloud Manager image, using whichever Oracle Cloud is right for you.
Stay tuned for additional information and more Cloud Manager features. Now, off to the next image!
