Project/Operations
As part of an infrastructure renewal and optimization project in the period 12/2017 - 06/2018, the previous Oracle operating platform was replaced by two ODAX7-2S and the critical Oracle databases of the city administration were migrated from Windows to Linux in minimal downtime. The robotron*Standby product was used for the migration and for disaster recovery. The test databases were consolidated on the disaster recovery system.
The following services were provided as part of the project:
- Creation of functional specifications (conception)
- Delivery, installation and deployment of the ODAs
- Setup of test and productive as well as standby databases
- Installation of a minimal downtime migration of the databases via Duplicate for Standby and RMAN incr. from the old system
