Case Study: Paragon Data achieves 50% lower IT management effort with Oracle Exadata Database Machine

Paragon Data Enhances Its Customer and Employee Experience Across 450 Bookstores Following 10-Day Migration

Paragon Data GmbH, which runs the data center for Deutsche Buch Handels and supports more than 450 bookstores, needed to eliminate frequent outages from its aging NetApp storage, improve Oracle database performance, and reduce the time spent on system administration and migration. The company chose Oracle Exadata Database Machine, along with Oracle Enterprise Manager 12c, to stabilize critical ERP and CRM systems and support a fast, low-downtime transition.

Oracle Exadata replaced the overloaded storage units, enabled Paragon Data to migrate its ERP system and data warehouse quickly, and went live just 10 days after shipment. The solution improved availability and performance, supported more than 4,000 concurrent store workstations, and cut overall management effort by more than 50%, while Oracle’s support and monitoring helped ensure business continuity.
