Ingersoll Rand, Volvo Group, Medica, Bangkok Commercial Asset Management, and Unimed Porto Alegre migrated complex workloads from on-premises to OCI with Oracle Cloud Lift Services
More than 1,000 global organizations are using Oracle Cloud Lift Services to accelerate the migration of mission-critical workloads to Oracle Cloud Infrastructure (OCI). Globally, customers and partners, including Ingersoll Rand, Volvo Group, Suramericana SA, National Pharmacies, Accenture, Cognizant, Infosys, and Syntax, continue to move enterprise and line of business applications, as well as complex integrations, from on-premises and other clouds to OCI. To support the growing demand and help more organizations take advantage of OCI, Oracle is enhancing the service offering with new capabilities that make it easier for customers to design and migrate their data lakehouse and AI-enabled application environments to OCI.

Launched in March 2021, Oracle Cloud Lift Services provide organizations with a single point of contact for end-to-end technical delivery, remove critical expertise barriers to adopting OCI services, speed time to value, and create faster opportunities to innovate. As part of the offering, organizations receive expert guidance from experienced cloud engineers on planning, architecting, prototyping, and managing cloud migrations – at no additional cost. As a result, customers can move critical workloads in weeks, or even days, instead of months. Additionally, Oracle works with customers until their workloads are in production and provides training on best practices, so customers have the expertise to run their environment independently or work with a “Day 2” managed service provider.
“As an increasing number of organizations look to move their most important enterprise workloads to the cloud, they have found that they want hands-on assistance to make their migrations as quick and seamless as possible,” said Vinay Kumar, senior vice president, North America Cloud Solutions Engineering, Oracle. “With Oracle Cloud Lift Services, customers can take advantage of Oracle’s experts to guide their migrations and get their critical workloads successfully running on OCI. This is the same technical team that has helped many of the world’s largest organizations manage some of the most complex migrations.”

“When it comes to cloud migration, not all migrations are the same and cloud providers must offer flexible services that match the customer’s needs,” said Dave McCarthy, research vice president, Cloud and Edge Infrastructure Services, IDC. “To yield the best results, this means more than a simple ‘lift and shift.’ Cloud providers must be willing to assist with everything from planning to go live, to ensure their customers are able to migrate in a fashion that’s timely, thorough, and ensures continuous uptime.”
The latest additions to Oracle Cloud Lift Services include capabilities to help customers design and migrate data lakehouse and AI-enabled application environments. To speed big data migrations, a new partnership with WANdisco, a leader in distributed computing, will enable organizations with vast production datasets to access WANdisco LiveData Migrator. WANdisco LiveData Migrator is a fully automated cloud migration solution that moves HDFS data and Hive metadata to the cloud without taking the data offline. The LiveData Migrator can deliver large data sets to the cloud up to 38 times faster than manual migration methods, saving customers time, money, and resources.
“Across the world, organizations are trying to figure out how to activate their large-scale on-premises data lakes in AI-enabled cloud environments to accelerate time to business insights and improve operational efficiencies,” said David Richards, founder and CEO, WANdisco. “By pairing with Oracle’s Cloud Lift Services offering, customers now have access to our LiveData Migrator, which uniquely allows them to automate the complete and continuous migration of their large business critical data lakes to OCI in record time without any risk of business interruption or downtime.”
