TriNet's swift move to OCI with Astute

The Challenge

TriNet, initially on a cloud migration path with AWS, confronted significant performance and technology obstacles, particularly when transitioning their Oracle Exadata databases. Their interactions at Oracle CloudWorld and the evident cost benefits of moving to Oracle Cloud Infrastructure (OCI) over maintaining collocated data centers further solidified their decision to pivot towards OCI.

Key Challenges for TriNet:

  • Performance and technology issues with AWS.
  • Difficulties in migrating Oracle Exadata databases to AWS hardware.
  • OpenStack infrastructure out of support and needing upgrade
  • Challenges with Kubernetes on OpenStack
  • Desire to have a complete infrastructure as code solution
