Panasonic Group's IT subsidiary completes
migration of one of its largest internal systems, its sales data
analytics system, to Exadata Database Service
Successfully reduces database infrastructure
cost by 50 percent in the first phase
AUSTIN,
Texas, June 13, 2024 /PRNewswire/ --
Panasonic Information Systems Co., Ltd. (Panasonic IS), the IT
subsidiary of Panasonic Holdings Corporation, has selected Oracle
Exadata Database Service on Oracle Cloud Infrastructure
(OCI) as the cloud database platform to support the internal
systems used by all companies within the Panasonic Group. This
entails migrating more than 2,000 database environments from
hundreds of internal systems to Oracle Exadata Database Service on
OCI. In the first phase of the project, Panasonic IS has
successfully migrated 30 systems from on-premises to the cloud,
resulting in a reduction of approximately 50 percent in database
infrastructure costs.
Panasonic Group is a global leader in developing
innovative technologies and solutions for a wide-range of consumer
electronic appliances. To sustain its competitive edge, the
Panasonic Group is modernizing its on-premises IT environment and
traditional business processes. To achieve this, Panasonic IS is
establishing an infrastructure called "Panasonic Transformation
(PX) Best Hybrid Platform," which is leveraging multiple public
clouds to adopt the most suitable cloud for each system. To
consolidate a large number of databases in the public cloud,
Panasonic IS chose Oracle Exadata Database Service on OCI for its
exceptional performance, availability, and ability. As the major
project milestone, Panasonic IS has successfully migrated one of
the Panasonic Group's largest systems—the sales data analytics
system, containing 30TB of data and used by 18,000 employees—to
centrally manage its consumer electronics sales information in
Japan.
"While migrating our internal systems, we select the optimal
environment for each system in order to maintain or improve
performance. In addition to the benefits of using the advanced
database functionalities of Oracle Database in the cloud, Oracle
Exadata Database Service also delivered the best performance for
larger systems amongst all the other cloud vendors during the
initial performance testing," said Takeshi
Yokosuka, director, platform service division, Panasonic
Information Systems Co., Ltd. "We have only completed
migrating a small portion of the hundreds of internal systems, but
we are already seeing significant benefits. We look forward to
continuing to work with Oracle to migrate the rest of the systems
and collaborate on future data utilization initiatives.
Additionally, we are planning to leverage this seamless migration
experience to support not only companies within the Panasonic
Group, but also any companies considering migrating to Oracle
Exadata Database Service."
"This sales data analytics system was our largest system
migration to OCI. Preliminary results showed that our stringent
requirements, such as performance, were met satisfactorily and the
project was a great success," said Tomoyuki
Sakai, senior managing executive officer, Panasonic
Information Systems Co., Ltd. "Oracle Consulting's dedication to
the project was exceptional and played a tremendous role in helping
us quickly resolve any issues during deployment. We look forward to
deepening our relationship with Oracle on various migration
projects, which will help us reduce operational workload and
benefit from early adoption of the latest technology. We are
confident that this collaboration will lead us to develop the best
hybrid cloud environment that meets our needs."
Oracle Exadata Database Service delivers the versatility
of Oracle Database on purpose-built, optimized

"The electronics sector has weathered turbulent years marked by

landscape, companies must embrace technology to leverage the full
benefits of cloud and strengthen their competitive profile," said
Ashish Ray, vice president,

performance, security, and availability to facilitate the
