Oracle Cloud VMware Solution and Oracle
Exadata Database Service help ensure fast and reliable cloud
migration of mission-critical systems
The company has reduced operating costs by 20
percent while improving performance in other key areas
AUSTIN,
Texas, July 1, 2024 /PRNewswire/ -- Oracle today
announced that Hitachi Construction Machinery Co., Ltd. has
selected Oracle Cloud Infrastructure (OCI) to migrate its
large-scale, mission-critical business systems for accounting,
development, production, design, sales, parts, export, human
resources, and services. By selecting Oracle Cloud VMware Solution
and Oracle Exadata Database Service on OCI, the company has
achieved a fast and reliable cloud migration with minimal changes
to applications and databases from previous on-premises
environments.
Hitachi Construction Machinery develops, manufactures,
sells, rents, and services hydraulic excavators, wheel loaders,
road equipment, and mining equipment, with more than 400,000 units
of construction equipment in operation worldwide. As part of its
digital transformation effort (DX), it's migrating its large-scale
core system to the public cloud to unify data from mission-critical
systems and construction equipment and prepare for future AI
implementation.
Hitachi Construction Machinery selected OCI because it enabled a
safe and secure migration strategy without requiring application
changes. Additionally, the company benefits from improved business
continuity and a reduced total cost of ownership (TCO). By moving
to the cloud, Hitachi Construction Machinery has quickly and
dynamically scaled its resources, increased flexibility as its
business grows and changes, and reduced its infrastructure
operating costs by 20 percent. In addition, online transaction
processing performance has improved by 50 percent, and batch
processing performance has enhanced by 60 percent on several core
business systems.
"OCI is the only public cloud that can securely migrate
mission-critical databases running on Oracle Exadata and VMware
virtualization environments since we can migrate quickly without
configuration changes and reduce costs. Other clouds would have
increased our costs due to having to rebuild applications," said
Noriko Momoki, senior officer and
president, DX Promotion Group, Hitachi Construction Machinery. "The
increased performance has significantly improved business
processing time while reducing operational and management tasks,
meaning our IT department can now focus on new projects to
strengthen our business competitiveness."
Hitachi Construction Machinery is migrating approximately 500
virtual servers from an on-premises VMware virtualization
environment and 100 databases to Oracle Cloud VMware Solution and
Oracle Exadata Database Service on OCI. The migration will allow
the company to benefit from better architecture, enhanced
automation, improved performance, availability, data security
configurations, and optimized costs without making application
changes. In addition, Hitachi Construction Machinery is
implementing a new disaster recovery environment using Oracle Cloud
Tokyo and Osaka regions to
strengthen business continuity.
"Organizations across all industries worldwide have realized
that moving to the cloud can help them accelerate digital
transformation," said Ashish Ray,
vice president, Mission-Critical Database Technologies, Oracle.
"Exadata Database Service and Oracle Cloud VMware Solution on OCI
enable Hitachi Construction Machinery to quickly and reliably
migrate mission-critical systems to the cloud, capture the cloud's
economic benefits, and deliver on high-performance expectations
from customers and employees. Both these services extend
on-premises environments with cloud elasticity and leverage
existing knowledge, skills, processes, and tooling — and having
both applications and databases on OCI simplifies operations and
increases performance."
Hitachi Construction Machinery plans to modernize applications
to cloud-native OCI and migrate its remaining databases from
on-premises environments. By consolidating its business data into
OCI to develop a DX platform, the company plans to leverage
multicloud and AI capabilities.
