Customer success story
Global semiconductor leader unlocked regional expansion with Oracle modernization
Oracle database modernization accelerated contractor access and regional scaling.
Pythian modernized database infrastructure and improved directory replication.
A global semiconductor and software design company used Oracle Unified Directory (OUD) to manage bespoke access for external contractors across more than 100 read-only servers on AWS, Google Cloud, and Azure, plus more than 10 regional spokes. As the environment grew, synchronization could take up to 12 hours and the existing star topology became difficult to scale. Pythian audited the OUD environment, delivered an assessment report, and designed a hub-and-spoke migration plan featuring automated, optimized directory replication. In parallel, Pythian managed the upgrade to Oracle 19c (19.32) and provided 24/7 monitoring, on-call support, patching, and operational services for the customer’s Oracle database environment—slashing access delays to near real-time, eliminating operational bottlenecks, and ensuring seamless regional scaling for its global workforce.
Pythian's expert redesign and 24/7 support turned our slow, complex database system into a fast, reliable network built for growth."

Synchronization delays hindered access
Directory synchronization taking up to 12 hours slowed the distribution of bespoke access rights to external contractors across multi-cloud environments, delaying project implementations.
Rigid topology stalled multi-cloud growth
Managing over 100 read-only servers and 10+ spokes across AWS, Google Cloud, and Azure, combined with dependencies on NFS, encrypted storage, and schemas, made the environment difficult to administer and scale.
Operational support demanded specialist capacity
Managing continuous monitoring, patching, incident response, and performance tuning across a diverse database fleet pulled critical internal focus away from strategic initiatives.
Legacy versions increased support complexity
Body copy: Operating legacy databases created operational risks, requiring structured upgrades, regular release updates, and ongoing managed support.
How it works
- 01 Architecture planning
- 02 Operational optimization
- 03 Continuous support
- 04 Oracle 19c modernization and support
Eliminated replication lags to accelerate workforce access and multi-cloud scaling.
By auditing the OUD topology, access controls, NFS, encrypted storage, schemas, and replication needs, Pythian designed a migration strategy to a hub-and-spoke model. Adding automation and optimized synchronization equips the company to onboard global contractor teams without delay and expand its regional computing footprint seamlessly.
Streamlined day-to-day database administration to eliminate operational overhead.
Our delivery team executes routine administration and technical requests across the customer’s database estate, from access management and backup and restore requests to refreshes, maintenance, and proactive health reporting. By offloading routine upkeep and complex performance tuning to elite specialists, Pythian stabilized daily operations and freed internal teams to drive strategic initiatives.
Ensured uninterrupted system availability and peak performance across multi-cloud infrastructure.
With 24/7 monitoring of availability, storage, backups, jobs, and error logs, combined with round-the-clock incident response, Pythian maintained maximum uptime across multi-cloud environments, freeing internal engineering capacity to focus on business innovation instead of routine database management.
Safeguarded core Oracle database operations with continuous support and proactive security.
Pythian combined round-the-clock Oracle database support with structured patching—first upgrading core systems to Oracle 19c before successfully rolling out and verifying a 19.32 Release Update—alongside on-demand engineering services. Managing regular upgrades and performance tuning without operational disruption maintained strict enterprise compliance, reduced vulnerability risks, and relieved internal teams of specialized maintenance burdens.
