Case Study: NSK Network and Systems Co. Ltd. achieves up to 60% faster sales and production and 60% lower IT costs with Oracle Exadata

NSK Increases Sales and Production System Performance by up to 60%, Reduces IT Costs by 60%, and Strengthens IT Governance with Engineered Systems

NSK Ltd., a 109‑year‑old global bearing manufacturer with 210 sites and multi‑billion‑dollar revenue, needed to strengthen IT governance, meet strict industry compliance, and consolidate dozens of disparate database servers to improve performance and availability for critical sales and production systems while supporting business expansion toward a US$10 billion turnover.

NSK migrated up to 40 databases to Oracle Exadata with Oracle Active Data Guard, cutting initial installation and ongoing IT costs by about 60%, accelerating global sales transactions by up to 60% and production transactions by ~40% (batch >20%), and improving governance, high availability, and disaster recovery across sites 1,500 km apart—enabling faster product development, reduced IT workload, and continuous manufacturing operations.
