关于客户
亚马逊是一家全球在线零售巨头，以其领先技术的使用而闻名。该公司诞生于这样一个时代：Oracle 等整体式本地数据库解决方案成为企业级数据存储和管理的标准。然而，随着公司的发展，其 Oracle 数据库面临着越来越多的挑战，包括复杂的管理、配置和容量规划以及不断上升的成本。 Amazon 的快速增长轨迹需要更多的 Oracle 数据库分片，从而导致运营和维护开销增加。该公司还面临着 Oracle 许可成本的大幅增加。尽管存在这些挑战，亚马逊仍必须考虑迁移到 AWS 的潜在风险，包括对基于 Oracle 数据库平台的员工的影响。
挑战
亚马逊尽管是一家领先的科技公司，但仍在使用 Oracle 数据库进行数据存储和管理。该公司诞生于 Amazon Web Services (AWS) 出现之前，当时 Oracle 等整体式本地数据库解决方案已成为企业级数据管理的常态。然而，脱离甲骨文带来了重大挑战。亚马逊拥有 5,000 多个数据库，这些数据库连接到各种非标准化系统，其所有权和依赖关系并未集中盘点。还有与人员相关的风险，因为许多亚马逊员工的职业生涯都是基于甲骨文数据库平台的。此外，亚马逊工程师在复杂的数据库管理、配置和容量规划上花费了大量时间。公司的快速增长需要更多的Oracle数据库分片，增加了运维开销。此外，继续使用 Oracle 将使亚马逊已经为其许可支付的数百万美元每年增加 10%，令人震惊。
解决方案
Amazon 启动了一项为期多年的计划，将其数据从 Oracle 数据库迁移到 AWS。该公司面临两个主要挑战：大规模项目管理和迁移的技术复杂性。为了解决这些问题，亚马逊创建了一个企业项目管理办公室（PMO）来设定明确的绩效要求并跟踪进度。还成立了由经验丰富的解决方案架构师和数据库工程师组成的AWS技术核心团队。该团队为从 Oracle 迁移的各类 Amazon 数据推荐了最佳的 AWS 服务，包括 Amazon DynamoDB、Amazon Aurora、Amazon Simple Storage Service (Amazon S3)、适用于 PostgreSQL 或 MySQL 的 Amazon Relational Database Service (Amazon RDS)、AWS 数据库迁移服务 (AWS DMS) 和 AWS Schema Conversion Tool (AWS SCT)。该团队还提供有关特定 AWS 服务的正式指导、运行实践实验室、提供一对一咨询，并协调 AWS 产品团队为遇到特定挑战的 Amazon 企业提供直接帮助。 Amazon 还考虑了如何帮助其 Oracle 数据库管理员过渡到新的职业道路，要么获得成为 AWS 解决方案架构师所需的技能，要么担任管理角色。

IoT platform Enables Safety Solutions for U.S. School Districts
Designed to alert drivers when schoolchildren are present, especially in low-visibility conditions, school-zone flasher signals are typically updated manually at each school. The switching is based on the school calendar and manually changed when an unexpected early dismissal occurs, as in the case of a weather-event altering the normal schedule. The process to reprogram the flashers requires a significant effort by school district personnel to implement due to the large number of warning flashers installed across an entire school district.

Revolutionizing Medical Training in India: GSL Smart Lab and the LAP Mentor
The GSL SMART Lab, a collective effort of the GSL College of Medicine and the GSL College of Nursing and Health Science, was facing a challenge in providing superior training to healthcare professionals. As clinical medicine was becoming more focused on patient safety and quality of care, the need for medical simulation to bridge the educational gap between the classroom and the clinical environment was becoming increasingly apparent. Dr. Sandeep Ganni, the director of the GSL SMART Lab, envisioned a world-class surgical and medical training center where physicians and healthcare professionals could learn skills through simulation training. He was looking for different simulators for different specialties to provide both basic and advanced simulation training. For laparoscopic surgery, he was interested in a high fidelity simulator that could provide basic surgical and suturing skills training for international accreditation as well as specific hands-on training in complex laparoscopic procedures for practicing physicians in India.

Implementing Robotic Surgery Training Simulator for Enhanced Surgical Proficiency
Fundacio Puigvert, a leading European medical center specializing in Urology, Nephrology, and Andrology, faced a significant challenge in training its surgical residents. The institution recognized the need for a more standardized and comprehensive training curriculum, particularly in the area of robotic surgery. The challenge was underscored by two independent studies showing that less than 5% of residents in Italian and German residency programs could perform major or complex procedures by the end of their residency. The institution sought to establish a virtual reality simulation lab that would include endourological, laparoscopic, and robotic platforms. However, they needed a simulator that could replicate both the hardware and software of the robotic Da Vinci console used in the operating room, without being connected to the actual physical console. They also required a system that could provide both basic and advanced simulation training, and a metrics system to assess the proficiency of the trainees before they performed surgical procedures in the operating theater.

8x increased productivity with VKS
Before VKS, a teacher would spend a lot of time showing a group of 22 students how to build a set of stairs within a semester of 120 hours. Along with not leaving the teacher much time to provide one-on-one support for each student to properly learn carpentry, it also left a considerable amount of room for error. Key information would be misinterpreted or lost as the class was taught in the typical show-and-tell way.

Scalable IoT Empowering GreenFlex's Sustainable Growth
GreenFlex, a company that supports sustainable development, decarbonization, and energy efficiency, faced several challenges in its quest to expand its business. The company needed to deploy a robust and sustainable IoT technology to support its growth. It was crucial for them to monitor and control devices at customer sites in a safe and reliable manner. They also needed to integrate devices across a range of communication protocols and gather and act on data to meet efficiency targets. GreenFlex had previously built IoT capabilities into its digital platform, GreenFlexIQ, to monitor and manage customer sites remotely. However, they soon realized that they needed a new platform to support their ambitions. They needed a platform that could scale to connect more devices for production management and make it easier for the operations team to manage devices in the field.
