Overview

When the customer needed to migrate and upgrade, they found the vendor-provided support didn’t have the breadth of knowledge required for such a complicated move. After working with Pythian on the initial upgrade and cloud migration, the customer enrolled in managed services to ensure continued high-performing support.

What we did

While Oracle manages many aspects of the underlying cloud infrastructure (OCI) and associated software services, a managed service provider (MSP) such as Pythian was needed to administer many parts of the database and application software, including customized components that resided on that infrastructure.

Pythian migrated and upgraded the customer’s on-premises database workload to OCI, allowing the company to tap into key strategic technology, which Pythian supports the administration of.

    

Technologies used

  • Oracle 11g
  • Oracle 12cR2
  • OCI Exadata Cloud Service (ExaCS)
  • Oracle Cloud Infrastructure (OCI)
        

Key Outcomes

Pythian and the CPG customer’s collaboration contributed to the following outcomes:

  • A stabilized workload achieved through a supported and managed migration.
  • Minimized downtime by solving specific infrastructure challenges.
  • Continued optimization of performance through managed services for database.
  • Enhanced ability for the customer  to take control of their patching and upgrades schedule.
  • Maximized system availability by validating outage readiness.
  • Reduced risk by applying patches and upgrades to stay informed on potential vulnerabilities.
“Wayfair has thousands of SQL applications and petabytes of data across our architecture. As we thought about modernization and leveraging Google Cloud, we relied on Pythian to be the experts on how to do it from an architectural perspective and then execute with our data team in actually getting it done.”
