Oracle has announced that Hitachi Construction Machinery has selected Oracle Cloud Infrastructure (OCI) to migrate its large-scale, mission-critical business systems for accounting, development, production, design, sales, parts, export, human resources and services. By selecting Oracle Cloud VMware Solution and Oracle Exadata Database Service on OCI, the company has achieved a fast and reliable cloud migration with minimal changes to applications and databases from previous on-premises environments.
Hitachi Construction Machinery develops, manufactures, sells, rents, and services hydraulic excavators, wheel loaders, road equipment and mining equipment, with more than 400,000 units of construction equipment in operation worldwide. As part of its digital transformation effort (DX), it’s migrating its large-scale core system to the public cloud to unify data from mission-critical systems and construction equipment and prepare for future AI implementation.
Hitachi Construction Machinery selected OCI because it enabled a safe and secure migration strategy without requiring application changes. Additionally, the company benefits from improved business continuity and a reduced total cost of ownership (TCO). By moving to the cloud, Hitachi Construction Machinery has quickly and dynamically scaled its resources, increased flexibility as its business grows and changes, and reduced its infrastructure operating costs by 20%. In addition, online transaction processing performance has improved by 50%, and batch processing performance has enhanced by 60% on several core business systems.
“OCI is the only public cloud that can securely migrate mission-critical databases running on Oracle Exadata and VMware virtualisation environments since we can migrate quickly without configuration changes and reduce costs. Other clouds would have increased our costs due to having to rebuild applications,” said Noriko Momoki, Senior Officer and President, DX Promotion Group, Hitachi Construction Machinery. “The increased performance has significantly improved business processing time while reducing operational and management tasks, meaning our IT department can now focus on new projects to strengthen our business competitiveness.”
