Nidec Motor reduces provisioning time 70% with Oracle Cloud Infrastructure
Business challenges
Nidec Motor is a global motor manufacturer with operations in the US, Canada, and Mexico. In February 2017, Nidec made one of the largest acquisitions in its history, acquiring business entities that ran Oracle E-Business Suite applications on-premises. Nidec needed to migrate to a new data center within a relatively short time period, just 16 weeks. The company asked system integration partners to propose migration options to a private or public cloud that fit into Nidec’s cloud strategy.
Why Nidec Motor Chose Oracle
Results
After the smooth migration, Nidec also has reduced Oracle Database license and operational costs, and reduced storage costs and database backup times. Critical, long-running batch job performance improved by more than 15% through the implementation of Oracle Cloud Infrastructure services on Oracle Linux.
Nidec consolidated Oracle Database from 40 cores on each node down to 12 or 24 cores on Oracle Exadata Cloud Service. Additionally, provisioning time was reduced by 70% using Oracle Linux images on Oracle Cloud Infrastructure. Nidec also increased CPU response time by about 20%, CPU utilization by about 30%, and reduced backup time by about 15%.
