A national insurer had databases scattered across mismatched hardware and licences. We consolidated 12 of them onto Exadata Cloud Service on OCI, cutting the footprint and the licensing drag.
The insurer had grown by acquisition, and its database estate showed it. Twelve production databases ran on a patchwork of hardware with inconsistent versions, overlapping licences, and no single view of health. Each one carried its own maintenance window and its own cost, and capacity planning was guesswork.
They wanted to consolidate without disrupting the regulated workloads those databases served, and to bring the licensing position under control in the process.
Consolidation onto a single engineered platform removed the patchwork and gave every database consistent performance, patching, and availability.
| Element | What we used | Why |
|---|---|---|
| Database platform | Exadata Cloud Service | One engineered platform for all 12 databases |
| High availability | Data Guard standby | Protected the regulated workloads through cutover and after |
| Backup | Managed backup to object storage | Consistent retention and recovery across the estate |
| Operations | Unified monitoring and reporting | One view of health, audit ready evidence |
We anonymise every client by sector, but the method behind these results is the same one we would bring to your estate. Book an assessment and get a written plan with options and a price.
