The Issue
Zenith, the UK’s leading independent leasing, vehicle outsourcing and fleet management provider, decided to move its Oracle data and migrate databases into the cloud and were looking for cloud migration support.
Zenith operates a series of Oracle databases which were hosted on-site on an ageing HP/UX server.
One of these databases was particularly large and contained all their business-critical contract notes.
The project had a tight deadline due to the imminent expiry of several licences.
Solution
WellData researched a number of cloud solutions and found that Microsoft’s Azure platform would suit Zenith’s needs the best.
We prepared a detailed statement of work and action-plan, and liaised with Zenith’s existing Azure support supplier.
We built a secure VPN link between the Azure platform and the remaining on-site application systems.
Meticulous planning of the data-transfer enabled the upload to happen via existing internet infrastructure.
We staged the migration and used Oracle’s data pump tool to effect the transfer.
All advice and consultancy for the project were included as part of our standard support contract.
Results
The databases were moved securely and efficiently in groups over a series of weekends.
The whole project was completed within the agreed timescale and within budget (as WellData always quotes a guaranteed fixed price), resulting in a satisfied customer.
WellData continue to look after Zeniths systems.
