Oracle Database runs on OCI in several shapes, from VM and bare metal to Exadata and Autonomous. We match each database to the right one, then migrate it with the data intact and the downtime planned.
The hardest question in an Oracle Database move to OCI is not how to migrate. It is where the database should land. The same workload can run on a VM DB system, on bare metal, on Exadata Cloud Service, or on Autonomous Database, and each choice carries very different cost, performance, and operational consequences.
We size and place each database against its real workload, pick the migration method that fits its tolerance for downtime, and design the high availability and recovery to match its importance. The result is a database estate on OCI that performs, recovers, and costs the way it should, with the licensing position understood before anything moves.
Exadata and tuned shapes give Oracle workloads performance that is hard to match elsewhere.
Autonomous Database removes routine patching and tuning, freeing DBA time for real work.
Data Guard, backups, and cross region copies are first class on OCI.
Right sizing and the correct service choice cut database spend without cutting performance.
BYOL and Universal Credits decisions made with eyes open, not after the bill arrives.
A specialist who plans the placement, runs the move, and can manage it after.
OCI offers several homes for an Oracle database. The right one depends on scale, operational appetite, and budget.
| Service | Best for | Operational load |
|---|---|---|
| VM DB system | Smaller databases, dev and test | You manage OS and database |
| Bare metal DB system | Performance sensitive single databases | You manage OS and database |
| Exadata Cloud Service | Large, critical, consolidated estates | Oracle manages infrastructure, you manage databases |
| Autonomous Database | Teams wanting routine work automated | Oracle manages most of it |
12 databases consolidated onto Exadata Cloud Service.
