No, switching to the New Exalate experience is not immediately required and you can transition when ready. Your existing integrations in Classic continue operating normally with full support maintained during the transition period. Exalate provides flexibility to migrate at your own pace based on operational needs and team readiness.
Organizations can evaluate the new experience, test features like Aida and Test Run, and plan migration timelines that align with business cycles or project schedules. There is no forced cutover date, allowing teams to prepare adequately and choose appropriate timing for moving production integrations.
At subscription renewal, you will have the option to select a plan under the new pricing structure based on active items in sync. This renewal point provides a natural transition opportunity, but the decision about when to move to the unified console remains under your control.
The new experience offers compelling improvements including unified management, AI-assisted configuration with Aida, versioning and rollback capabilities, and Test Run functionality. These enhancements can significantly improve integration management efficiency, but you can adopt them according to your organization's timeline and priorities. Teams with complex deployments or specific concerns can work with Exalate support to develop appropriate migration strategies.
