The Challenge

Business

Unfinished business

Global Atlantic had started its PeopleSoft to Cloud migration journey a while back but those efforts had stalled due to various business challenges. With the second attempt, the priorities were:

  • Right-sized architecture
  • Improved, robust security architecture
  • Accelerated migration plan
  • Managed Service for care and feed of PeopleSoft on Cloud

Technology

Move from partial to full Cloud deployment with SOC2 Compliance

Global Atlantic needed to refresh its cloud architecture to take advantage of the latest security and performance features available in Oracle Cloud Infrastructure. Automation was lacking and monitoring and compliance solutions were yet to be deployed. Global Atlantic asked Astute Business Solutions to assess and evaluate its current state Cloud deployment and built a solution that met future-state needs.

  • Re-implement Cloud Foundation with secure, high-performant architectures
  • Re-deploy current Dev/Test PeopleSoft workloads on new architecture
  • Dove-tail Cloud migration with on-premise PUM Update and Tools Upgrade projects
  • Migrate Production and remaining non-Production workloads to OCI

The Solution

Oracle Cloud Infrastructure

Astute chose to renew and expand Global Atlantic's Oracle Cloud Infrastructure tenancy by converting it to a Cloud Managed Service Provider engagement and providing full-service implementation and support for PeopleSoft on OCI.

OCI PaaS - Oracle Database Cloud Service, BYOL and License Included
02
Oracle Cloud Infrastructure US-East Ashburn Region with GDPR
03
OCI IaaS - Network, Compute, Storage, Web Application Firewall, Load Balancer

Accelerated Lift and Shift, Integration, Testing, Tuning

Astute delivered a 4-month PeopleSoft Lift and Shift to Oracle Cloud service that met Global Atlantic's business needs while allowing them time to complete the on-premise PUM and Tools Upgrade that they had already started. Astute redesigned the OCI architecture to start with a secure cloud foundation. Astute tuned the cloud service parameters to optimize performance.
