Move to the Oracle Cloud
Move your Database to the Oracle Cloud
Simple & Efficient
Oracle automated tools make it seamless to move your on-premises database to the Oracle Cloud with virtually no downtime. Using the same technology and standards on-premises and in the Oracle Cloud, you can facilitate the same products and skills to manage your cloud-based Oracle Databases as you would on any other platform.
Flexible
You can directly migrate your Oracle Database to the Oracle Cloud from various source databases into different target cloud deployments depending on your requirements and business needs. A well-defined set of tools gives you the flexibility to choose the method that best applies to your needs.
Cost Effective
The same flexibility that lets you directly migrate your Oracle Database to the Oracle Cloud is applied to finding the most cost effective solution for the purpose and duration of the migration. Even if the automated tools determine that an Oracle licensable product should be used to optimize your migration, Oracle will provide a cost neutral solution.
Highly Available & Scalable
The tight integration of all migration tools with the Oracle Database lets you maintain control and gain better efficiency when moving your databases to the Oracle Cloud, while the Maximum Availability Architecture (MAA)-approved tools as well as Zero Downtime Migration (ZDM)-based migrations ensure that your migration is handled as smoothly as possible.
