Case Study: Leading International Luxury Fashion Brand achieves faster deployments and lower licensing costs with DatAvail's Azure Database for MySQL migration

Luxury Fashion Brand In Vogue with Cloud Migration to Azure Database for MySQL

Leading International Luxury Fashion Brand, an existing DatAvail customer, sought to reduce high on‑premises infrastructure and commercial database licensing costs by moving to open‑source databases. They faced limited internal resources to support open‑source platforms, heterogeneous migration challenges from SQL Server to MySQL, and the need to convert BI queries for backend compatibility.

DatAvail’s MySQL team migrated the customer’s on‑prem SQL Server databases to Azure Database for MySQL using MySQL Workbench and replication and upgraded to MySQL 5.7 to ensure schema and data compatibility, high availability and performance. As a result, DatAvail delivered faster deployments, built‑in HA and scalability, and BI workloads running on an open‑source database without compromising performance, enabling reduced licensing costs and plans to expand further open‑source migrations.
