Case Study: Large Airport Retail Chain achieves improved performance and cost savings with DatAvail’s Oracle Cloud migration

Airport Retail Chain Migrates On-premise Databases to Oracle Cloud

Large Airport Retail Chain, which relied on DatAvail to manage its Oracle databases for more than a decade, faced an aging on‑prem Oracle environment (9x/10x/11x) supporting its Oracle Retail operations. The customer needed major upgrades that required extensive testing, fast transfer of large volumes of data with selective purging, and a licensing audit to enable a move to Oracle Cloud.

DatAvail coordinated with Oracle and the customer (using the customer’s ISP pipe for fast transfers), recommended Oracle Database as a Service on Oracle Cloud, and migrated the application databases to the cloud. DatAvail’s solution eliminated the need for on‑prem hardware and rack space, simplified licensing, enabled rapid server provisioning, and delivered measurable improvements in performance, ongoing automatic upgrades, and reduced cost and operational complexity.
