Let’s get to the point: Oracle Cloud Hosting, while often dressed up in marketing jargon and sprinkled with a few too many acronyms, is, at its core, simply just remote hosting.
Yes, that’s right. Strip away the buzzwords like “availability domain,” “SaaS,” or “multi-tenant architecture,” and you’re left with a simple, timeless concept: renting someone else’s computer to run your stuff.
Remote hosting means that your applications, databases, files, and services don’t live on your physical premises. Instead, they live on someone else’s hardware, maintained by someone else’s engineers. Oracle Cloud Hosting modernizes the concept of remote hosting by adding scalability, automation, and global access to the software.
What is Oracle Cloud Hosting?
Oracle Cloud Infrastructure (OCI) is Oracle’s answer to AWS, Azure, and Google Cloud. It offers virtual machines, databases, storage, and networking managed through the web. The Oracle Cloud Infrastructure provides many solid features, such as highly performant VMs, integration capabilities, and built-in security monitoring tools. It frees up your team, offloads hardware maintenance, and lets you scale on demand. As we enter the new era of electronic medical records and artificial intelligence, this hosting platform will become necessary for Oracle Cerner.
Not much will change if you are a Remote Hosted (RHO) Oracle Cerner client. Now, instead of your servers being in Kansas City at Oracle Cerner’s former World Headquarters, the servers just happen to be Oracle’s, and the data center is located elsewhere. And you still don’t own the infrastructure. You’re leasing it.
Don’t be intimidated by this move to the cloud. After all, you have already been in it for years as a Remote Hosted Client.
Will Panther work in an OCI environment?
In short, yes! Softek’s client base is already around 60 to 70 percent remote hosted, proving that our Panther tools bring immense value to organizations that no longer host on their own. As hardware and staff exit an organization during this migration, often, so does the knowledge base and tools affiliated with your EHR’s system performance.
If you are an Oracle shop planning for this migration to an OCI environment, let us know your roadmap so that we are a part of it!
