Oracle E-Business Suite on Oracle Compute Cloud

Initial Offering

1. Images for quick provisioning of E-Business Suite 12.2.5

2. Cloning of E-Business Suite systems (12.1.3 or 12.2) to Oracle Cloud • Non-production instances

• Single-node E-Business Suite systems

• Oracle Linux

3. Development in Oracle Cloud

4. Management of on-premise and cloud instances via Enterprise Manager

Future Directions (phased approach)

1. Advanced configurations: Multi-node, load balancing, RAC, DMZ

2. Integration with external services such as OAM, OID, SOA Suite

ON-PREMISES


Oracle SOA Suite Oracle SOA Suite

CLOUD


Oracle Integration Cloud Service

Oracle SOA Suite Cloud Service


Oracle SOA Suite Cloud Service


When Cloud-based Integration?

39

Legacy

ON-PREMISES

3rd Party ORACLE CLOUD

Salesforce


Oracle SaaS Applications

Best When

• Most integrations are between cloud-based applications

• Low to no need for integration to on-premises, or between on-premises applications

• Integrations are less complex (ICS)

• In-house integration skills are limited

• Focus is on rapid integration

When On-premises Based Integration?

Oracle Applications, SAP, legacy…

ON-PREMISES

3rd Party ORACLE CLOUD

Salesforce



Best When

• Most applications, business processes and data are on-premises

• Low to no requirements for integration to cloud services and APIs

• Privacy/security needs prevent move to cloud deployments

• Strict quality of service/SLA requirements require close control

• Complexity of on-premises IT requires a full-featured, flexible integration platform on the ground


When Hybrid Integration?

Best When

• Need a strategic and comprehensive platform

• Want to balance quick delivery projects with a systematic approach to integration

• Need to handle combinations of • Cloud to cloud to on-premises • On-premises to on-premises • Mobile, IoT, B2B, API Management

• Want to extend an established on-premises integration platform • Quickly attach to existing on-premises integration flows whilst

leveraging the ease of use of the Cloud

• Want to move existing integration flows to the public cloud (e.g. Mobile, B2B)
