Learned

16. PeopleSoft Architecture on Amazon

17. Our use cases for Oracle on AWS
Production
Instances of
Enterprise
Applications and
Databases
Development and
Test
Instances for
Enterprise and
custom applications
Training, POC,
Sandbox,
Patch Testing and
debugging instances
Disaster Recovery
Site
on AWS

18. Deployment Options
• New Implementation vs Migration
New Implementation Migration from On-Premise
No legacy infrastructure Legacy systems and on premise
dependencies require additional work.
Clean implementation using optimal
infrastructure
Restrictions can be imposed by legacy
setup and configuration
Built using current best practices Migrate to current best practices as
feasible.
Faster time to go-live system can be stood
up within 24 hours.
Longer timeline due to data migration

19. • Create a Replica of your on-site environment in the AWS Cloud
• Environment will be setup using YOUR Infrastructure Elements
 AWS Instance type (Start small and scale-up based on performance/user needs)
 OS’s (Unix, Linux, Microsoft)
 Databases Supported (Oracle, DB2, MS SQL Server)
 Supports PeopleSoft FSCM, HCM, ELM, EPM, Portal
• Allows your team to experiment with the AWS Cloud and validate
assumptions and feasibility.

20. 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
Project Overview

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

22. • 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 Design
• Standardized Infrastructure
• Scale up or Down based on Business needs.
• Repeatability of Deployments.
Benefits of Amazon Web Services

23. Things to Think about
• Always Setup VPC First
• RDS / EBS Volumes for Data Storage
• Think about Ports / Security Required to access applications /
printers, etc
• Think about other Applications that are required by your PeopleSoft
systems (Active Directory, etc)

24. • Provides 5 hours of PeopleSoft Running on AWS for FREE
• Guided walkthroughs for HCM, FSCM
• Environment used includes the following elements
 M1 Medium AWS Instance
 Microsoft Server Data Center Edition
 MS SQL Server 2008
 PeopleSoft 9.1 Feature Pack 2
• Provisioned in minutes
