The Challenge
Business and Operational Challenges:
Business
Business and Operational Challenges:
Cost-Effectiveness and Efficiency:
The need to optimize financial resources while ensuring uninterrupted service delivery was paramount. SDCCD sought a solution that would provide long-term cost savings without compromising on the quality of its educational services.
Tight Project Timelines:
Implementing such a large-scale migration within a six-month window posed significant logistical and planning challenges, requiring meticulous coordination among various teams.
Technology
Technological Challenges:
Complex Infrastructure Migration:
The project involved transitioning 83 servers to OCI, necessitating a clean install of all applications, web servers, and databases. This required careful planning to avoid data loss and ensure a smooth transition.
Network and Security Optimization:
Building a robust and secure network capable of defending against modern cyber threats, especially ransomware, was critical. The project demanded innovative solutions to secure sensitive student and institutional data.
Project Goals
Comprehensive Application Migration: Migrating PeopleSoft pillars (FSCM, HCM, CS, IH) to the OCI, ensuring minimal downtime and maximum efficiency.
Robust Disaster Recovery Planning: Developing a disaster recovery plan that offered redundancy and reliability at a reasonable cost.
Enhanced Cybersecurity Measures: Strengthening the network security architecture to safeguard against ransomware and other cyber threats.
Performance and Scalability: Enhancing the performance and scalability of the system to handle growing student numbers and evolving academic needs.
Cost Management: Reducing operational expenses while maintaining or improving service quality.
User Transparency: Ensuring that the migration was seamless and transparent to end users, including students and faculty.
