PeopleSoft on OCI with Cloud Manager

Migrate your PeopleSoft application to Oracle Cloud Infrastructure (OCI) and tap into the advantages of PeopleSoft Cloud Manager. This while retaining the valuable customisations you’ve build in PeopleSoft.

‘The cloud is here to stay. Make the switch to Oracle Cloud Infrastructure (OCI) with PeopleSoft Cloud Manager.’

Lower your total cost of ownership and experience improved performance and better efficiency. Leverage autonomous operations or start using the Database as a Service (DBaaS) offering from OCI. While, when required, still fulfil data residency and resilience requirements by using the EU Sovereign Cloud offering from Oracle.

PeopleSoft Cloud Manager comes at no additional license charge and helps you reduce time and effort with many PeopleSoft admin activities, like managing the life cycle of your PeopleSoft application. With PeopleSoft Cloud Manager you still are using exactly the same PeopleSoft application as you did before. This enables you to retain all your existing customisations and integrations. Key features of PeopleSoft Cloud Manager include:

Automatic provisioning
‍PeopleSoft Cloud Manager allows you to easily provision additional PeopleSoft environments on Oracle Cloud Infrastructure (OCI). PeopleSoft Cloud Manager delivers a way to define your own PeopleSoft environments and save them as deployment templates. These templates can then be used by self-service users, like key-users, project members, developers or functional support team members, to create their own demo, playground or project environments on-demand for their specific use cases.

Automatic scaling
‍PeopleSoft Cloud Manager allows for automatic scaling of PeopleSoft environments, including the creation of new instances or scaling existing ones up or down based on business demand. The auto scaling feature depends on the data science service provided by Oracle Cloud Infrastructure (OCI).

Automated PeopleTools upgrades and patches
‍With PeopleSoft Cloud Manager you have the ability to perform automatic PeopleTools upgrades and/or patches at a click of a button.

Automated Critical (security) Patch Updates (CPU)
‍With PeopleSoft Cloud Manager you have the ability to perform the quarterly Critical Patch Updates automatically with a click of a button.

Up-to-date PeopleSoft Update Manager (PUM)
‍PeopleSoft Cloud Manager has the ability to automatically apply the latest PeopleSoft Image (PI) and PeopleSoft Release Patchset (PRP) to your PeopleSoft Update Manager (PUM) instance. So, your PeopleSoft Update Manager is now always ready to use.

Automated patch download
‍By subscribing to relevant update channels, the PeopleSoft Cloud Manager will automatically download the updates and patches for your PeopleSoft applications.

Self-update
‍The PeopleSoft Cloud Manager has the ability to automatically update itself to the latest version of the PeopleSoft Cloud Manager application. So, you don’t need to worry about maintaining this extra PeopleSoft application.

Clone environments
‍Cloning of PeopleSoft instances is available to you at a click of button with PeopleSoft Cloud Manager. Let self-service users create their own clone of a specific environment on-demand to support their work.

Backup and restore
‍With PeopleSoft Cloud Manager you will get self-service functionality for back-up and restore operations at a click of a button. This gives your key-users, project members, developers or functional support team members the ability to progress faster by giving them the ability to also run more destructive or data changing test cases.

Policy Manager
‍With the Policy Manager of the PeopleSoft Cloud Manager you can use events and scheduling to take action in your PeopleSoft environments. Policy Manager lets you automatically start and stop environments (to safe costs), take back-ups and restore environments so they are ready when your users need them.

Lift and Shift
‍PeopleSoft Cloud Manager automates the Lift and Shift migration of your existing PeopleSoft instances to Oracle Cloud Infrastructure. This migration will backup and restore your configurations, data and customizations to OCI.

Autonomous operations
‍Use Autonomous Linux and Autonomous Database in combination with PeopleSoft. The Autonomous Database uses machine learning for automated tuning, scaling, and database patching. Systems running Autonomous Linux are patched automatically with zero downtime.

Database as a Service (DBaaS)
‍DBaaS saves you the work deploying and managing the underlying infrastructure to run the PeopleSoft database.

The same PeopleSoft
‍You still are using exactly the same PeopleSoft application as you did before.

Retain customisations
‍You can retain all your customisations and integrations.

Full data access
‍On IaaS you still have full access to your data at any time.
