5. PeopleSoft Architecture
on Amazon
Highly available and scalable PeopleSoft implementation can be complex and
expensive. Dense peak periods and wild swings in traffic patterns result in low
utilization rates of expensive hardware.
Amazon Web Services provides the reliable,
scalable, secure, and high-performance
infrastructure required for Oracle PeopleSoft
while enabling an elastic, scale out and scale
down infrastructure to match IT costs in real time
as customer traffic fluctuates
Sample Architecture
• High-Memory Extra Large Instance Database Server
• m1.large Application Servers
• m1.small Web Servers
• m1.medium File and Batch Servers

6. PeopleSoft Architecture
on Amazon
The user's DNS requests are served by Amazon
Route 53, a highly available Domain Name System
(DNS) service. Network traffic is routed to
infrastructure running in Amazon Web Services.
HTTP requests are first handled by Elastic Load Balancing,
which automatically distributes incoming application traffic
across multiple Amazon Elastic Compute Cloud (EC2)
instances across Availability Zones (AZs). It enables even
greater fault tolerance in your applications, seamlessly
providing the amount of load balancing capacity needed in
response to incoming application traffic.

7. PeopleSoft Architecture

Oracle Web, application and database servers are deployed on Amazon EC2
instances. These are Amazon Machine Image (AMI) using Oracle Enterprise
Linux 5.3 and Oracle PeopleSoft Amazon Spot Instances or Auto Scaling can be
used to support batch processing.
Web and application servers are deployed in an Auto Scaling group. Auto Scaling
automatically adjusts your capacity according to conditions you define. This
ensures that the number of Amazon EC2 instances increases seamlessly during
demand spikes.
Oracle Database 11g is run on RDS Instances and replicated using
Oracle Data Guard. Oracle database backups and the batch flat
files for integration with the corporate data center are stored on
Amazon Simple Storage Service (S3), a highly durable storage
infrastructure designed for mission-critical and primary storage.

8. PeopleSoft Architecture
on Amazon
Availability zones (AZs) are distinct geographic locations that are
engineered to insulate against failures in other AZs. Multiple AZs are
combined into a region. Here, the entire web application is deployed in
two different AZs for high availability.

9. Customer use cases for
Oracle on AWS
There are thousands of customers running tens of thousands of EC2
instances with Oracle Software for Enterprise computing in AWS.
This includes….
Production Instances
of Enterprise
Applications and
Databases
Development and Test
Instances for Enterprise
and custom applications
Database Backup to
Amazon S3 using
RMAN+OSB. Data
Archival to Amazon
Glacier.
Read-only replica of
Production for
reporting and BI/DW
feed
Training, POC, Sandbox,
Patch Testing and
debugging instances
Disaster Recovery Site
on AWS

10. Project Overview
Approach to Moving to AWS
• Setup VPC
• Create Foundational infrastructure
(Web, App, Proc, DB Servers)
• Copy Database Into AWS
• Complete Configuration
• Test Environment and Application
• Test Move to Production (2 Iterations
Min)
• Move to Production
Total Time to Deploy – 6-12 Weeks

11. Migration Challenges
Challenges of Migrating to the AWS Cloud
• Migration of Large Databases (Timing)
• Customizations
• Connection to On-Premise Resources (i.e. LDAP, File
Servers)
• Availability of Testing Team

12. AWS Benefits
Benefits of Amazon Web Services
• Environments can be provisioned on demand
• Reduce time to implementation
• Reduces complexity of technical environment
• Provides for ability to experiment with different scenarios with
minimal impact to your internal infrastructure
• Disk Space is available on demand as you grow
• Disaster Recovery is built into the infrastructure
• Standardized Infrastructure
• Scale up or Down based on Business needs.
