In one of the highest stakes fincorp projects in the history of INFOLOB’s tech implementation and management deliveries, a thriving personal & SMB financing joint venture urgently needed a data center exit.
The fincorp required engineering a data center exit strategy from its current colocation, demanded the ability to scale its infrastructure seamlessly, and sought robust disaster recovery solutions for its Oracle Database running on Exadata.
Meanwhile — given the size of the project, and the fact, that it can easily get out of hand — the solution needed to be not just efficient but also economical.
Executing Due Diligence on the Challenges
- Rapid Data Center Exit: The foremost challenge was the pressing need to exit fincorp’s current data center facility. Strict compliance requirements mandated a swift and well-executed exit, with the deadline looming in December 2022.
- Scale OTG: The organization required the capability to scale its resources horizontally and vertically, ensuring it could meet fluctuating workloads and dynamic business demands.
- T&C on Disaster Recovery: Establishing a robust disaster recovery system was paramount for the organization to ensure uninterrupted business operations and safeguard critical data.
- Least Network Bandwidth: The project had to be executed with minimal network bandwidth, necessitating the implementation of innovative data transfer and synchronization strategies.
- Dealing with Massive Data Volumes: With approximately 15 terabytes of data residing on a high-transaction Online Transaction Processing (OLTP) database, handling data migration and synchronization complexities posed a significant hurdle.
- Safe Onboarding to Exadata Cloud Service (ExaCS): Safely integrating the disaster recovery solutions with Exadata Cloud Service (ExaCS) added another layer of complexity to the project.
- Close Deadline: The fincorp was working against a stringent deadline, requiring an accelerated and efficient execution of the project to meet compliance requirements.
