Companies who choose to migrate Oracle to VMware are supported by ITAA and ensured that the license footprint of Oracle on VMware is limited to a minimum, and governance is put in place to ensure license compliance.
Oracle on VMware
Compliance Stages
Virtualization: Contractual Workshop
Our workshop aims to clarify all ambiguities, risks and rewards around virtualizing Oracle on VMware. Discussions and examples are always based on actual contracts agreed between the client and Oracle. In addition, the workshop supports the decision making process by drawing financial and risk-based models for individual client situations.
Determine Deployment
This stage focuses on identifying and auditing Oracle workloads for which the right-to-use is subjected to the ambiguity of virtualizing Oracle on VMware. Primarily, Oracle products that are licensed on the premise of Processor & NUP definitions are included in the scope. The goal is to understand the utilization of licensed features of in-scope products, which is established in the same way if Oracle were to conduct a license audit. The results are discussed with the IT staff, allowing you to intimately understand the results and the license requirement of each Oracle workload they aim to virtualize.
Optimize Deployment
Using the output from the previous steps, IT administrators and compliance teams learn to intimately understand which and why each workload utilizes features requiring a license. Clients then often identify Oracle workloads where a license can be decommissioned by implementing a change. By implementing such changes before migrating to VMware, clients ensure that the license footprint is truly optimized when moving Oracle workloads to VMware.
Virtualization: Deployment Workshop
For running Oracle on VMware, each infrastructure should be tailored around your business, cost and license requirements. An ideal deployment might be a scenario where all Oracle workloads are virtualized in a single/dedicated VMware cluster. But associated license costs may result in a design where production- and non-production workloads run in separate clusters and data centers. In another scenario you may want to choose for different Oracle products running in separate VMware clusters.
The implementation workshop aims to guide the IT- and compliance teams to evaluate achievable implementation scenarios. As a result all participants learn to understand the risks, costs and benefits of feasible VMware implementations, and choose a final implementation scenario.
Compliance Verification of VMware environment
New Oracle workloads may have been introduced and/or existing workloads may have changed since the previous audit. In addition, it is recommended to validate that all proposed governance and control mechanisms have been implemented correctly, which aim to ensure beyond any reasonable doubt that the amount of Oracle licenses assigned to VMware environments are sufficient.
