Many enterprises are embarking on digital transformations to stay competitive, modernizing their IT systems along with the applications and databases that serve as the backbone
of their businesses. CSC Migration Studio for Oracle automates large database migrations,
allowing enterprises to move into modern hybrid cloud environments with greater ease
and predictability.
CSC Migration Studio for Oracle is the ideal solution for large-scale migrations to cloud
platforms. The tool is part of CSC’s Digital Transformation Services for Oracle, a suite of
offerings that help organizations leverage Oracle technology to create new business
models and real value.
LARGE-SCALE MIGRATIONS DEMYSTIFIED
Typically, migrating a massive number of
Oracle databases into a cloud environment is
a complex and time-consuming task. One of
the biggest barriers to successful migrations
is that organizations lack details on legacy
client/application interfaces. With CSC
Migration Studio for Oracle, discovery of
existing states is simplified, providing deep
insights into what hardware, operating
systems and databases you have. The tool
also takes the complexity out of the migration phase by choosing the best upgrade
paths and by automating difficult processes.
CSC Migration Studio for Oracle helps
enterprises reduce operating expenses and
cost of ownership by migrating Oracle
databases in a time-saving and money-saving manner through the use of automation
and proven processes. The result is a
transformation to a more flexible, cloudbased digital applications portfolio that
helps enterprises better compete. In
addition to speed and cost savings, key
benefits include:
Increased Predictability: One of the most
important benefits the tool delivers is
increased predictability of outcomes.
Automating migration not only removes
human error, but also ensures that processes can occur the same way every time,

helpful for making changes and scheduling

5-Click Migration: With CSC Migration
Studio for Oracle, a database running in a
variety of server environments — including
Oracle, Windows, Unix and Linux — can be
selected from a simple drop-down menu and
migrated to a cloud environment quickly and
easily. Because our migration tool knows
everything about the source and destination,
and because it can recommend the best
migration paths, when a default option is
selected, it takes just five mouse clicks to go
through the full migration process.
Reduced Risk: Leveraging Oracle
GoldenGate technology for real-time data
integration, CSC is able to perform bidirectional, cross-platform, multiregion database
replications. This means that once a
database is migrated to a cloud environment, the service can be easily moved
around, even back to a previous state if
needed, with no loss of data. This reduces
risk by providing flexibility and continuity in
moving data between old systems and new
systems and back.
ServiceNow Integration: The alliance
between CSC and ServiceNow, the enterprise cloud company, lets us provide
consistent and familiar interfaces during
migrations, while tapping into CSCstandardized processes, global metrics and
reporting. Leveraging ServiceNow technology, CSC is able to use the lessons learned
from thousands of database migrations we
have implemented for our customers across
the globe to optimize your migrations. Using
these global resources gives CSC the
advantage of economies of scale and helps
improve the stability and repeatability of
complex migrations.
KEY FEATURES
Automated Discovery: Building a business
case for database migrations involves
determining what you have in your applications portfolio, who owns the applications, and
what interoperability issues you need to
address. CSC Migration Studio for Oracle
eases this process by providing an automated
discovery tool that identifies what databases
you have and provides the ability to drill down
into the database to determine key functional
information, such as what server it is running
on, its storage capacity, and how many users
are connected to it.
AUTOMATED MIGRATION OVERVIEW
Automated Deployment: Using the information gathered in the discovery process, CSC
Migration Studio for Oracle’s automated
deployment tool can determine the best
migration path. Once an option is selected,
the tool provides validation checks that are
CSC Migration Studio for Oracle integrates
