Fortune 500 Global Technology Giant Soars with ExaCC Cloud Migration Led By INFOLOB
Location – North America
Key Highlights of the Migration
- Existing legacy database limitations have constrained enterprise operations across global landscape.
- INFOLOB architected and implemented Oracle Exadata Cloud@Customer (ExaCC) with elastic scaling capabilities.
- The solution reduced TCO and enabled 99.99% system availability with cloud-first foundation for accelerated innovation.
Processing speeds are happening at milliseconds; system reliability is correlating with market reputation; and infrastructure transformation is having its own core competency. A Fortune 500 technology giant, a cutting-edge software solutions industry has its base in North America and realized that their legacy infrastructure has become a competitive Achille’s heel.
This forward-thinking global leader, known for delivering mission-critical applications to Fortune 500 clients, found themselves at an inflection point. Their on-premises Oracle environment, once state-of-the-art, was now constraining their ability to scale, innovate, and meet the demanding performance expectations of their enterprise clientele. The solution? A strategic leap into Oracle’s most advanced cloud database platform: Exadata Cloud at Customer (ExaCC).
Core Challenge: Excellence Constrained by Infrastructure
The giant technologies player had built their reputation on delivering high-performance software solutions that enterprises depend on for critical operations. However, success brought its own challenges, creating a fascinating paradox where their growing excellence was being throttled by infrastructure limitations.
Challenge #1: As client portfolios expanded and application complexity increased, this global technology leader’s existing Oracle database environment began showing stress fractures. Peak usage periods resulted in response time degradation that threatened SLA compliance and client satisfaction. The infrastructure that once supported 50 concurrent enterprise applications was now struggling with 200+ simultaneous workloads.
Challenge #2: The Fortune 500 company’s development teams were hamstrung by lengthy database provisioning cycles, limited testing environments, and rigid infrastructure that couldn’t adapt to rapid deployment schedules. New client onboarding that should have taken days was stretching into weeks.
Challenge #3: Enterprise clients demanded bulletproof security and compliance frameworks. Legacy infrastructure lacked modern security features, creating potential vulnerabilities that could jeopardize client trust and regulatory compliance in an increasingly scrutinized business environment.
Challenge #4: Maintaining on-premises Oracle infrastructure required specialized expertise, hardware refresh cycles, and operational overhead that was consuming budget better invested in product innovation. The total cost of ownership was spiraling beyond acceptable parameters while delivering diminishing returns.
Challenge #5: Business continuity planning revealed critical gaps in their existing setup. Recovery time objectives that clients expected couldn’t be met with current infrastructure, creating unacceptable business risk for both Caliber and their enterprise customers.
Our Strategic Cloud Architecture: Peaks of Engineering Excellence
INFOLOB approached this global technology giant’s challenge as a comprehensive cloud transformation that would redefine their technological capabilities and competitive positioning.
INFOLOB’s Oracle Certified Cloud specialists architected an ExaCC solution that leveraged Oracle’s most advanced database cloud technology while maintaining the control and security requirements of enterprise environments. The design balanced performance optimization with cost efficiency through intelligent resource allocation and automated scaling capabilities.
We developed an innovative migration approach using Oracle’s advanced replication technologies. The strategy included parallel system operation, comprehensive data validation, and seamless cutover procedures that maintained 24/7 service availability throughout the transition. This implementation of ExaCC, powered by advanced features including Smar Scan technology for accelerated analytics, storage indexes for optimized I/O operations, and Hybrid Columnar Compression for enhanced storage efficiency. Custom performance tuning ensured that the Fortune 500 client’s applications would exceed previous performance benchmarks.
Incorporating the Oracle’s built-in security stack – Transparent Data Encryption, Oracle Database Vault for privileged access management, and advanced audit capabilities – we configured multi-layered security controls that exceeded enterprise security standards while maintaining operational flexibility.
Our teams have established intelligent monitoring frameworks using Oracle Enterprise Manager Cloud Control, automated backup and recovery procedures, and predictive maintenance capabilities that would minimize operational overhead while maximizing system reliability.
Quantified Results of Transformation
The ExaCC implementation delivered transformational improvements across every critical performance dimension:
- Performance Breakthrough: Database query response times improved by an average of 60%, with complex analytical workloads experiencing up to 300% performance gains. Peak-hour system bottlenecks were eliminated, enabling consistent performance regardless of concurrent user loads.
- Operational Efficiency Revolution: Database administration tasks that previously required full-time dedicated resources became automated processes. System provisioning time decreased from weeks to hours, while maintenance overhead dropped by 70%, allowing technical teams to focus on innovation rather than infrastructure management.
- Cost Optimization Success: Total cost of ownership decreased by 35% through elimination of hardware refresh cycles, reduced power and cooling costs, and optimized licensing through Oracle’s cloud economics. The predictable monthly operational expense model improved budget planning and financial forecasting accuracy.
- Business Continuity Assurance: Recovery time objectives improved from hours to minutes through Oracle Data Guard implementation and automated failover capabilities. The solution now provides 99.99% availability with comprehensive disaster recovery across geographically distributed data centers.
