OpsGuru and House of Brick partner for confident and cost-effective Oracle migrations to AWS
VANCOUVER, BC, March 31, 2022 /CNW/ - OpsGuru, a leading cloud modernization consultancy, announces its partnership with House of Brick, a leading specialist in optimizing software licensing costs, to help customers manage the risk of migrating and modernizing operationally critical Oracle databases on AWS.
While many organizations have come to rely on Oracle's resilience and stability to run core business processes, the recent dramatic upswing in consumer online activity can drive significant operational costs.
The partnership helps Oracle customers migrate Oracle-based workloads confidently and kick-start database modernization in the cloud. Dave Lindon, General Manager at OpsGuru, says, "Companies are looking to shave margins any way possible. AWS lets you harness the latest processor technology much faster than many on-premises environments, which will help customers see significantly more bang for the buck."
"House of Brick welcomes partnering with OpsGuru, particularly given their strength in customer migrations to AWS," states Bob Lindquist, VP of Global Partner Development at House of Brick. "With our partnership, customers will experience end-to-end cloud solutions and support options, whether for first time AWS migrations out of a data center to business-critical system migrations of Oracle."
Migrating Oracle workloads to AWS can cut costs and provide customers with the scalability they need to keep up with growth. In addition, it can be the first step towards complete database modernization on the AWS platform.
Lindon says that while organizations appreciate the benefits of an AWS migration, doing it in-house can be disruptive, particularly for organizations with little or no experience in complex cloud migrations. "We've facilitated nearly 500 cloud migrations, mostly to AWS, and we've learned a lot from that," he says.
House of Brick and OpsGuru have already worked together to enable many successful AWS migrations. House of Brick helps customers ensure licensing compliance, prepare for audits, and avoid costly penalties that can result from them. Lindon says, "You want to make sure that when you migrate, your licensing costs do not drastically increase, and you remain compliant. House of Brick are experts at this."
"At House of Brick, we help customers ensure a compliant and performant migration of Oracle to AWS. HoB's Oracle license advisory services and our OpsCompass license management tools complement OpsGuru's AWS migration consulting options, enabling Oracle customers to migrate both their database platform and licenses in the most cost-effective and highly resilient manner," says Lindquist.
The two companies recently migrated Oracle workloads for an auction house experiencing a sustained spike in online activity. The migration gave the company immediate access to the cost and performance benefits of running Oracle workloads in the cloud, with the ability to modernize with an open-source database going forward.
