Gap also plans to connect front-end and back-end functions by migrating them from a private cloud to Oracle Cloud Infrastructure. To achieve this, the retailer is planning to use various Oracle technologies, such as Oracle Exadata Cloud Service and Java Cloud Service as the foundation for a Retail Integration Hub, and Oracle GoldenGate for real-time data replication.
