Case Study: Kingold Group cuts costs by 44% with Oracle Exadata Cloud@Customer

Kingold cuts costs by 44% with Oracle Exadata Cloud@Customer

Kingold, a diversified conglomerate headquartered in Guangzhou with operations across China, Australia, and Europe, needed to accelerate its digital transformation while ensuring data security, locality, and sovereignty for customer information. The company sought a cloud solution that would cut costs, speed key workloads, and keep sensitive data on-premises behind its firewall.

Kingold migrated critical databases from Microsoft Azure to Oracle Exadata Cloud@Customer in seven days and moved financial reporting workloads from IBM systems to Exadata, achieving up to 18× faster performance (reports improved from ~720 seconds to ~40 seconds) and reducing costs by 44% versus Azure. The move preserved private customer data in Kingold’s data center while enabling cloud automation and pay-per-use economics, freeing IT to focus on innovation rather than manual system management.
