For you this week: United States grocer Albertsons moves on-premises apps to the cloud, ahead of a longer-term cloud apps shift. A company that helps collect and manage the growing volume of data streaming in from satellites uses cloud infrastructure for the needed speed and volume. Bank CFOs are becoming cloud champions as they feel the heat to get more insights out of their data. Also: Four defense-in-depth information security scenarios. Plus: A spotlight on finance sessions at Oracle CloudWorld, October 17 to 20.
"Because we run payroll weekly, it’s critical to make sure all the different divisions and groups are paid within a proper timeframe. The Exadata migration helped us immensely on that front.”
Albertsons Companies is moving to cloud applications in a big way. But it’s also moving a few slices of on-premises apps to Oracle Cloud Infrastructure (OCI), including a PeopleSoft payroll app that’s now running weekly payroll 50% faster than before. Here’s the strategy and the architecture behind that move.
The number of satellites orbiting Earth has doubled in less than three years. That means more data from space—and more customers for Viasat’s Real-TimeEarth (RTE), which provides antennas and systems to collect such data. Find out how Viasat moved to OCI to gain performance, including a 12-microsecond-packet round-trip time from OCI’s Sweden cloud region to RTE’s ground station in Sweden.
Emerging fintechs are putting the pressure on bank CFOs to wring more value out of company data, two KPMG executives write, and that’s leading many to champion investments in cloud platforms.
Oracle solutions architect Troy Levin spells out four scenarios for using a new service, Oracle Cloud Infrastructure Network Firewall, as part of a layering strategy to protect information in cloud-based systems.
