AI has changed the way organizations build, operate, and secure their businesses.

AI agents can analyze data, automate decisions, generate applications, and act across enterprise systems at unprecedented speed. This creates tremendous opportunity and a new security reality: more systems, more agents, and more applications are reaching deeper into business-critical data than ever before.

Oracle GoldenGate and Oracle GoldenGate Veridata are enterprise-proven in demanding mission-critical environments and can help organizations efficiently address both:

  • Enabling organizations to modernize, patch, upgrade, and migrate critical systems without waiting for long downtime windows or high-risk cutover events
  • Accelerating AI era opportunities on a real-time, AI-ready data foundation making data available in real time for AI, analytics, applications, and automated workflows

GoldenGate has long helped organizations move, synchronize, and validate data across heterogeneous environments with minimal to zero downtime.  Oracle GoldenGate Veridata provides fast, minimal impact data validation to verify replicated or migrated data remains consistent across source and target systems.  

In the AI era, those capabilities take on new urgency. They help organizations modernize faster, patch sooner, migrate with greater confidence, and maintain trusted data continuity across cloud, multicloud, hybrid, and on-premises environments.

And for a limited time, Oracle is helping customers address these pressing challenges more affordably: Oracle GoldenGate and Oracle GoldenGate Veridata are available at a 90% discount on one-year term licenses for eligible upgrade and patching use cases—now extended through May 31, 2027.

For customers waiting for the right time to patch, upgrade, or move workloads to cloud, this limited-time offer provides a compelling opportunity to act.

Minimize Downtime. Protect Your Data. Zero Compromise.

GoldenGate can reduce or eliminate downtime during routine database maintenance and upgrades, operating system patches, application upgrades, and platform migrations.  Oracle databases are upgraded and migrated by GoldenGate in a rolling fashion by continuously replicating production transactions into upgraded environments.  All operations are protected with failback capabilities, which helps eliminate the risk of losing data.  

GoldenGate delivers high levels of availability and performance delivering key benefits including:

  • Uni-directional or bi-directional replication, allowing reads and updates in any replicated database
  • Real-time data movement for keeping latency to a minimum
  • Replicated databases can run on different hardware platforms, database versions, and different database or application configurations, allowing for online migration
  • Source and target replicated databases remain online, enabling zero downtime application switchover during outages and planned maintenance activities.

GoldenGate Veridata strengthens data trust before and after change

One of the biggest reasons teams delay upgrades, patches, and migrations is uncertainty. Even when replication is running, stakeholders want proof that the target environment matches the source before cutover.  After cutover, they want confidence that the move succeeded.  GoldenGate coupled with GoldenGate Veridata helps organizations confirm data accuracy after an upgrade or migration and address potential stakeholder data trust concerns.

Validated data builds the trust needed to use it to its fullest value—especially important as AI becomes more embedded in business operations. AI-powered applications and agents depend on accurate, current, and consistent data. If the data is wrong, decisions and automated actions can be wrong too.

Oracle GoldenGate Veridata delivers fast, high-volume synchronization and repair technology capturing in-flight transactions on production databases and performing ongoing, low-impact comparisons and corrections with target databases, all with minimal impact on systems and network resources.

This helps organizations move from assumption to verification.

Modernize on a real-time, AI-ready data foundation

Oracle GoldenGate connects heterogenous environments by continuously capturing, moving, and delivering data in real time directly from source systems to distributed target systems.  This enables organizations to make operational data available where it is needed, when it is needed for real-time analytics, event-driven applications, AI and machine learning pipelines, reporting offload, data distribution, hybrid cloud architectures, and multicloud strategies.

AI depends on data. Not stale data. Not fragmented data. Not data trapped in one system while the business needs it somewhere else.

AI agents, analytics platforms, operational applications, and automated workflows increasingly need access to current, trusted information from across the enterprise. That data may live in Oracle databases, non-Oracle databases, cloud services, on-premises systems, data warehouses, data lakes, or distributed application environments.

That matters for AI because the value of AI often depends on how quickly and reliably it can act on business events. A customer interaction, payment update, inventory movement, fraud signal, service request, or supply chain event may lose value if it arrives too late or cannot be trusted.

With Oracle GoldenGate and GoldenGate Veridata, you can build verification into your data architecture by design not an afterthought with flexible deployment options on-premises, cloud, multiclouds, hybrid clouds and virtually anywhere your data resides.

Conclusion

AI is transforming business. It is also compressing security timelines and raising the cost of operational delay. Organizations need to secure data at the source, move at speed, and build resilience into the systems that power their business.  GoldenGate and Veridata directly support the second and third priorities by helping organizations reduce or eliminate downtime during patching and upgrade operations by enabling validated switchovers to synchronized environments. 

With Oracle GoldenGate and Oracle GoldenGate Veridata available at 90% off for a limited time for eligible upgrade and patching use cases, customers have a clear reason to act now rather than later.

In the AI era, waiting carries risk. Moving securely, quickly, and confidently is the better strategy.
