Case Study: Financial Technology Firm achieves one-hour migration of 12 Oracle databases with Quest SharePlex

Financial technology firm nails one-hour window to migrate 12 Oracle databases

A U.S. financial-technology firm (5,000–20,000 employees) faced a high-stakes migration after an acquisition: move 12 mission‑critical Oracle databases (about 4 TB), convert OS and virtualize, and relocate infrastructure thousands of miles—all within very small maintenance windows to avoid escalating financial penalties and unacceptable downtime.

Using SharePlex replication (with Quest Professional Services support) to pre‑sync and keep instances in sync, the team completed the planned 12‑database migration in one hour instead of the estimated 12–20 hours, avoiding penalties and downtime. The company now relies on SharePlex for internal replication, cloud migrations and other database tasks, dramatically shortening migration time and providing reliable cross‑infrastructure replication.
