Oracle recently announced that Hitachi Construction Machinery Co., Ltd. has chosen Oracle Cloud Infrastructure (OCI) to migrate its mission-critical enterprise systems. By utilizing Oracle Cloud VMware Solution and Oracle Exadata Database Service at OCI, Hitachi Construction Machinery was able to achieve a fast and reliable cloud migration process with minimal changes to its applications and databases from the previous on-premises environment.
Hitachi Construction Machinery, known for developing, manufacturing, and servicing construction equipment globally, made the decision to migrate its core systems to the public cloud in order to centralize data and prepare for future AI integration as part of its digital transformation efforts. The company’s selection of OCI was based on its ability to provide a secure migration strategy without requiring changes to applications, ultimately resulting in improved business continuity and reduced total cost of ownership.
The migration to the cloud allowed Hitachi Construction Machinery to scale its resources quickly, enhance flexibility for future growth, and reduce infrastructure operating costs by 20 percent. In addition, online transaction processing and batch processing performance both saw significant improvements across multiple core business systems.
Noriko Momoki, CEO and President of Hitachi Construction Machinery’s DX Promotion Group, highlighted how OCI’s unique capabilities allowed for a seamless migration of mission-critical databases, running on Oracle Exadata and VMware virtualization environments, leading to performance enhancements and cost savings. The increased efficiency has enabled the IT department to focus on new projects that strengthen the company’s competitiveness.
Hitachi Construction Machinery is in the process of migrating approximately 500 virtual servers and 100 databases to Oracle Cloud VMware Solution and Oracle Exadata Database Service on OCI. This migration will provide the company with improved architecture, automation, performance, availability, data security, and cost optimization without necessitating any changes to applications. Furthermore, the implementation of a disaster recovery environment using Oracle Cloud in Tokyo and Osaka regions will bolster business continuity.
Ashish Ray, Vice President of Mission Critical Database Technologies at Oracle, emphasized how services like Exadata Database Service and Oracle Cloud VMware Solution on OCI empower companies like Hitachi Construction Machinery to successfully migrate mission-critical systems to the cloud, resulting in economic benefits and enhanced performance. By consolidating business data on OCI and leveraging AI and multicloud capabilities, Hitachi Construction Machinery aims to modernize its applications and further its digital transformation goals.
