Foundation Services for Oracle provides a logical approach for enterprises by enabling easier adoption of a cloud-based model and offering expert consulting services.

Cloud Strategy Services

CSC’s Cloud Strategy services support decision-making around the application of cloud computing to a customer’s business. CSC’s Cloud Adoption Assessment (CAA) is where many companies start. This assessment drives an understanding of the potential of the cloud computing model by identifying high value business opportunities for taking advantage of the cloud, along with organizational appetite and maturity to adopt and adapt to this change. The results from the CAA are then used to plan and design the implementation of the identified workloads.

Service Design and Service Transition Services

Service Design and Service Transition services help turn your cloud strategy into a reality. Leveraging our deep experience with the breadth of Oracle’s product portfolio, CSC has developed reference architectures, virtual “appliances,” virtual “assemblies,” and reference environments that provision a broad range of Oracle’s products. CSC understands, at a detail level, what is required to assemble and operate Oracle platforms such as Oracle Database, Exadata, Fusion Middleware, Exalogic, E-Business Suite, Siebel, PeopleSoft, JDEdwards, and OBIEE.

CSC’s consulting services include leveraging our library of Oracle virtual appliances and assemblies to accelerate the establishment of an architecture that provisions Oracle environments from disk to application in minutes. Our managed service experience is also leveraged to configure these environments and set them up for integrated monitoring, management and reporting. CSC enables private cloud solutions on the client’s premises or on CSC premises.

Operation Services

CSC manages private, public or hybrid cloud infrastructures and helps our clients select and implement the right cloud to meet business requirements. This includes defining and refining all the details of standard service offerings, shared or dedicated services, prescriptive architectures, service level agreements, security requirements and any customized solutions. Foundation Services for Oracle has been developed to specifically leverage CSC’s very successful Dynamic Server offering. CSC Dynamic Server enables you to rapidly provision server instances in line with your business needs, providing a highly consolidated, scalable and resilient computing environment, provisioned, configured and ready to use when you need it. When you combine this flexible approach for IaaS with CSC’s design and transition services, the result is a robust, flexible, enterprise-grade IT environment.
