Move to the Cloud – Webinar

Yesterday, Mike Dietrich and I gave the final webinar in the Oracle Database 19c Upgrade Virtual Classroom series. It was about Move to the Cloud – not only for techies. Now, I say final – but we all know you should never, say never. And in this case, it applies to final as well. We are already talking about subjects for a seventh webinar. If you have any interesting topic, that you think we should cover, get in touch with me.

Unfortunately, due to a technical glitch we skipped the part about migrating using transportable tablespaces and full transportable export/import. We uploaded the missing part to YouTube, so you can watch it.

For those interested, you can now download the slides. We had really much information to share, so browse through the deck to find a lot of hidden slides. Typically, there are references and links to more information about a specific topic.

Within a week it should be possible to watch a recording of the webinar.

The Demos and Videos

This presentation we gave, was a brand new one. We used as many demos and videos as we could – or rather had time to prepare. We will post them on our YouTube channel as soon as possible. I suggest that you subscribe to it, so you can receive word as soon as new contents arrives. Further, we want to enhance the presentation even more, so we will be putting in more videos and demos. Let me know, if there was a topic, that could improve with a video or demo.

Thank You

Thanks to everyone that participated yesterday. Happy migrating!

Migration Strategies

Mike Dietrich and I gave a presentation on Migration Strategies – Tips and Tricks and Insights and Secrets today. The webinar is part of the Oracle Database 19c Upgrade Virtual Classroom series.

The slide deck contains more information than we presented at the webinar. We had hidden a lot of slides that contain additional information and useful links. The slide deck is ready to download.

Soon you will be able to watch a recording as well.

Move to the Cloud (for techies)

If you want to know even more about migrations, you should register for the next webinar. It’s all about cloud migrations.
Date: Thursday 15 October 2020
Start Time: 13:00 GST – 12:00 EEST – 11:00 CEST – 10:00 BST
Duration: 120 mins

Whether you have databases in a cloud environment, or you plan to lift databases soon, this webinar is for you. We won’t cover cloud solution benefits but will show you how you can migrate your database(s) into the Oracle Cloud. We’ll start with Autonomous and also cover migration into VMs, Bare Metal, OCI, ExaCS and ExaCC. And we’ll look at minimizing downtime strategy, where ZDM can help. This two-hour webinar is not strictly for technical geeks ‒ but our focus will be on practical migration approaches.

Thank You

Thanks to everyone that participated today. We had a lot of fun and look forward to seeing you on Thursday. Happy migrating!

Debut on the Big Stage

Mike Dietrich and I will give two webinars in mid-October on database migrations. One of them will focus solely on migration to Oracle Cloud Infrastructure. The webinars are part of the Oracle Database 19c Upgrade Virtual Classroom series. If you are interested, you have to register.

Migration Strategies: Insights, Tips and Secrets
Date: Tuesday 13 October 2020
Start Time: 13:00 GST – 12:00 EEST – 11:00 CEST – 10:00 BST
Duration: 120 mins

Now it’s time for us to dig deeper. We’d like to offer you further insights and a deep dive from a technical point of view, starting with Data Pump and Transportable Tablespaces, then Full Transportable Export Import, and adding RMAN Incremental Backups to decrease the downtime. Best practices and real-world experience will round up this two-hour webinar.

Debut on the Big Stage

These two webinars will be my debut on the big stage. The previous webinars had a huge interest and, unfortunately, some people couldn’t join because the webinar had reached its maximum number of attendees. If you register, I recommend to join early to get your seat.

I have been presenting in person and virtually for some years now. Also, since I joined Oracle in January, I have been doing quite a few presentations. However, this is my first time for such big crowd. I am excited and look forward to it – but also a little intimidated. Luckily, I have super-star Mike Dietrich there to (virtually) hold my hand.

And, finally, I promise you: No marketing slides – just demos and details.

I hope to see you there!
