The document discusses the integration of Oracle Cloud Infrastructure (OCI) and Oracle Analytics Cloud (OAC), outlining their types, architectures, and use cases. It details various database cloud services (DBCS) options, including on-premise and cloud solutions, and how they can be connected to enhance analytics capabilities. The conclusion emphasizes the flexibility of choosing the best architecture that fits specific business needs while leveraging existing on-premises infrastructure or migrating fully to the cloud.

What’s OCI
Oracle Cloud
Infrastructure is a set of
complementary cloud
services that enable you
to build and run a wide
range of applications
and services in a highly
available hosted
environment

What’s OCI and Types of OCI
• OCI Classic:
• Oracle Cloud Infrastructure Classic (OCI-C) is IaaS offering to provide Compute & Network
(Shared & IP Networks)
• OCI Classic is based on Nimbula Director (Xen based Hypervisor)
• OCI Classic provides only Virtual Machines (whereas OCI can also provide Bare Metal)
• OCI Classic can be deployed as a) Elastic Compute b) Dedicated Compute c) Sparc Model 300
• OCI
• Oracle Cloud Infrastructure (OCI) like OCI-C is also IaaS offering that provides Compute,
Network but as Virtual Cloud Network, Availability Domain and additionally Edge Services
like Email, DNS, Load Balancer etc.
• OCI provides both Bare Metal & Virtual Machines (whereas OCI-C provides only Virtual
Machine) Hypervisor in VM option of OCI is based on KVM (whereas on OCI-C this is Xen
based Hypervisor)

What's OAC and Types of OAC
• Oracle Analytics Cloud (OAC) is a scalable and secure public cloud service that
provides a full set of capabilities to explore and perform collaborative analytics
for you, your workgroup, and your enterprise
• OAC is available in three editions: Standard, Enterprise, and Essbase
• Each of this editions are available on Oracle Analytics Cloud, Oracle Analytics
Cloud Subscription, and Oracle Analytics Cloud - Classic
Edition Oracle Analytics Cloud

What's OAC and Types of OAC
• OAC instances are not self-containing and require some additional OCI services.
• The absolute minimum configuration is the following:
• Oracle Cloud Storage (OCS) - is used for backups, log files, etc.
• Oracle Cloud Database Instance (DBC) - is used for RCU schemas.
• Oracle Analytics Cloud Instance (OAC) - is our ultimate target.
• If you want to provide a public IP to you OAC you also need:
• Creating an IP Network
• Provisioning Load Balancer on an IP Network

What's DBCS and Types of DBCS
• Oracle Database Cloud Service provides you the ability to deploy
Oracle databases in the Cloud, with each database deployment
containing a single Oracle database or an Oracle Data Guard
Service Ideal Customer

Possible Architectures
• Since we must have a DBCS before we can install/config our OAC
instance, we should think about how we want our architecture to
look like
• We can have 2 different approaches for that:

@DEVEPM
DBCS as OAC Source
• DBCS will be the source of OAC
data
• DBCS needs to be powerful
enough to handle the work load
• We need to have a VPN between
the DBCS and our on premise DB
• If we choose to have the
“Compute” version of DBCS we
can use any VPN you may want
to install
• Use VPNaaS to integrate the
entire OCI with our data center

12. DevEpm.com
@RZGiampaoli
@RodrigoRadtke
@DEVEPM
DBCS with ODI on it
• If we want a 100% cloud solution we can choose the DBCS compute
solution and bring our own ODI license to it.
• Since we have a VPN between our DBCS and our on premises we
just need to install our ODI Agent on it and use it normally
• We can also install the ODI client to make the access faster
• With this approach we can:
• Not have a DB on premises*
• Not have a ODI on premises
• Connect in different source around the world (Different VPNs for each)
• Shared folder accessible from on premises
• FTPs to send file to and from it

@DEVEPM
DBCS with ODI on it
• This solution moves the internet latency from the
data retrieval in OAC to the data load
• This means the end user experience would be
better
• Also it decreases the infra footprint
• Since the DBCS will be administrated by us, we still
need a DBA and an admin to handle the backups,
patches, ODI and everything else.
• All benefits to have a scalable architecture
provided by the cloud solutions are still present

DBCS with ODI on premises
• This solution is ideal to companies that already has a big
infra footprint and want to keep control over it
• It is basically the same solution as before but all the ETL
process were handle on premises and then loaded the
final DW data to DBCS
• Remove the need to have the Compute license for DBCS
• As well the possible need of DBA or anyone to handle
the DBCS admin tasks (Depending of the chosen service)
• Also moves the internet latency from the data retrieval
in OAC to the data load improving the user experience

@DEVEPM
On Premises as OAC Source
• On Premise DB will be the source of OAC data
• On Premise DB needs to be powerful enough to handle the work
load
• We can have 3 different “Tunnels” options between the On Premise
DB and OAC
• The internet needs to be very fast and stable
• The latency will be in the data retrieval instead of on the data load

DB/ODI on Premise with Remote Connect
/Data Gatway
• Remote Data Connector works with the BI
Server Data Gateway running in the Oracle BI
Cloud Service environment to provide secure
access to on-premises data using private/public
key pairs and SSL communication.
• Remote Data Connector supports these on-
premises database types:
• Oracle, SQL Server, Teradata
• Each Oracle BI Cloud Service instance is
provisioned with a unique private key
• A public key is available for download from
Oracle BI Cloud Service Console
• This public key when deployed on Weblogic on-
premises will make the DB visible from the
Cloud

DB/ODI on Premise with Remote
Connect/Data Gatway
• OAC will request data from your on-premise databases using
the Remote Connect Weblogic Plugin (Webservice-like
service)
• That means our on-premise environment can continue the
same as before and no data needs to be replicated
• ODI will continue to load our data warehouse
• On OAC Version 105.3 (June release) Oracle introduced Data
Gateway that will replace Remote Connect.
• Remote Connect will still be available but oracle
recommend replace it in the next 6 months.
• Data Gateway basically replaces the Weblogic requirement
from remote connect.

DB/ODI on Premise with VPNaaS
• We can use VPNaaS to create a
tunnel between our OCI
environment and our data
center
• With this we can have anything
inside our OCI accessing our on
premises databases (or other
services)
• These can be use in the DBCS
as Source architecture as well

19. DevEpm.com
@RZGiampaoli
@RodrigoRadtke
@DEVEPM
DB/ODI on Premise with VPNaaS
• After the VPN is set, anything that is in OCI will be able
to access our on premises environment
• That means if we already have a star schema set in our
on premises, we just need to point OAC to this schema
and use it as is
• This is ideal to companies that already has a big BI
infrastructure and want to make use of the cloud
capabilities without losing the existing architecture
• The internet needs to be very fast and stable
• The latency will be in the data retrieval instead of on
the data load

DB/ODI on Premise with FastConnect
• Oracle FastConnect is a network connectivity alternative to using
the public internet for connecting your network with Oracle Cloud
Infrastructure and other Oracle Cloud services
• FastConnect provides an easy, elastic, and economical way to
create a dedicated and private connection with higher bandwidth
options, and a more reliable and consistent networking experience
when compared to internet-based connections.
• With FastConnect we create a direct link between our data center
and the data center where your Oracle Cloud resources are
provisioned

environment with the datacenter where your Oracle
Cloud resources are provisioned
• We’ll have a secure and guarantee bandwidth
between our servers.
• ODI will continue to load our data warehouse
• OAC will access the on-premise DB directly
• No internet latency just the link latency

Conclusion
• There’s no right or wrong architecture, but the best fit to our case
• As we can see there’re a range of solutions to integrate on
premises environments with OAC
• We can go full cloud, migrating our on premises architecture to
cloud, including ODI, and we can manage from there all data
needed
• Or we can leverage what we have on premises and just uses the
OAC analytics capability to work the data
• We also have a range of ways to link or environments
• You just need to find out what is the best one for you
