The plan for Database consolidation is to provide three standard
database environments: Oracle, MySQL and MSSQL.
IT transformation is a UB 2020 effort aimed at creating capacity
within UB’s IT community. As part of the Services and Server
Consolidation, a committee within IT transformation, the UB
Database Consolidation Implementation Team will be implementing
backend database services and servers for Oracle, MySQL and
Microsoft SQL Server which will be shared amongst UB’s IT
community. Each database will contain an infrastructure for
development, test/training, QA and production. The development
environment will be shared amongst the UB IT community for new and
enhancements to existing systems. Like the development environment
testing/training will be shared amongst the UB IT community for
testing database upgrades, and provide training to and a sandbox
for end users. QA will verify new or enhanced systems will not
degrade existing production systems in any way. UB’s
production environment will be used to conduct daily UB
business.
