Leading Mortgage Provider Upgrades to latest Oracle Stack with Zero-downtime & Zero-risk

A leading Mortgage Provider was looking to modernize their stack footprint; specifically moving away from legacy AIX Unix system to a Virtualized Linux platform; as well as upgrading from Oracle Database 9.2.0.8 to 11gR2. The Mortgage Provider could not afford for this top mission critical system to be un- available for any period of time, especially during prime mortgage lending season. For several years, the Mortgage Provider had planned to modernize this key application; however, there was always too much risk associated with doing the migration, since any missed dates would mean millions of dollars in expected revenue.

McAfee achieves a zero downtime migration of their most mission critical system

For several years, McAfee had planned to move their CRM database from DB2 on AIX to Oracle on Linux, but there was always too much risk associated with doing the migration. In an effort to ensure the highest performance of their CRM system, McAfee’s IT leadership team consulted with several consulting companies to determine scope, costs and associated risks of doing the migration. They also had a firm go-live date as the migration had to coincide with a new release of Siebel and if that date was missed, the next opportunity would be six months later.
