Migrating Oracle Analytical Workloads to Pivotal Greenplum on the AWS Marketplace

May 12, 2017

Many companies are intimidated by the perceived risks of migrating from their data warehouse to the cloud, from security to supportability. However, the barrier of entry has been reduced with the ease of cluster deployment in the AWS Marketplace and the option of a managed environment.

Oracle and Pivotal Greenplum may seem similar feature-wise, but from a compute and storage standpoint, their architectures are very different. With Pivotal Greenplum, you get a full, open source solution with deeper analytics that doesn’t break the bank.

In this white paper, we point out the benefits to switching to Pivotal Greenplum by addressing multiple Oracle analytical challenges. We will also provide a four step plan to completing an agile, reliable, and cost-effective migration.
