Enkel | Solutions - OCI to AWS Migration

OCI to AWS Migration

Oracle Cloud Infrastructure (OCI) may appeal to companies using Oracle databases, but it presents significant limitations when compared to AWS:

Smaller global coverage, impacting latency and resilience.
High costs and limited flexibility in pricing models.
Fewer innovation options, with a strong focus on database services.
Limited multicloud integration, making hybrid strategies harder to implement.

As an AWS Advanced Partner, Enkel leads OCI-to-AWS migrations through a structured approach, ensuring cost reduction, performance improvement, and greater innovation flexibility.

Enkel Approach: How We Drive Your Migration

Our process follows the AWS Migration Acceleration Program (MAP) and includes:

Financial optimization estimates when moving to AWS

Migration Execution

Use of tools like AWS Database Migration Service (DMS) for Oracle DB migration
Automated transition to minimize operational impact
Deployment of high availability architectures

Post-Migration Optimization
