We recommended migrating the client’s Oracle database to AWS Postgres RDS
About The Customer
Our client, a leading FinTech company specializing in digital payment solutions and investment management services, was using Oracle databases hosted in an on-premises data center. As the business grew, they encountered challenges including high operational costs, limited scalability, and performance bottlenecks. To overcome these hurdles, the company sought a more scalable, cost-efficient, and performance-optimized cloud solution.
Key Challenge
Maintaining an Oracle database in an on-premises data center was increasingly expensive due to hardware, software licenses, and personnel requirements, leading to high operational costs. As the company expanded, their Oracle infrastructure could not scale efficiently to accommodate growing transaction volumes and data, resulting in limited scalability. The legacy infrastructure also struggled to consistently handle peak demands, causing slower transaction processing times and performance constraints. Additionally, managing updates, backups, and disaster recovery for the Oracle database in a traditional data center required substantial IT effort, contributing to significant database management overhead.
Our Solution
To address the client's challenges, Ananta Cloud recommended migrating from the on-premises Oracle database to AWS Postgres RDS, leveraging a combination of AWS managed services for cost optimization, performance enhancement, and operational efficiency. The following services were utilized during the migration and post-migration process:
