Nature's Sunshine
Migrates Workloads to
Oracle Cloud Infrastructure
Optimizing Costs, Enhancing Security, and Reducing TCO
Nature’s Sunshine, a Utah-based manufacturer and marketer of dietary supplements and personal care products since 1972, recently undertook a significant cloud migration project. With the goal of optimizing costs, enhancing security, achieving greater operational efficiency, and reducing Total Cost of Ownership (TCO), Nature’s Sunshine sought to move its on-premises infrastructure to the cloud.
Facing a Complex Migration with an Experienced Partner
To address these challenges, Nature’s Sunshine partnered with Vigilant, who provided an experienced-based roadmap with a robust and flexible solution. Vigilant’s approach included considerations for security, network configuration, disaster recovery, identity integration, and cost management, ensuring a comprehensive and efficient migration to Oracle Cloud Infrastructure (OCI). The customer’s existing environment, which included Oracle EBS, Oracle ASCP, Oracle Business Intelligence (OBIEE), Oracle Agile, and Oracle Demantra, required careful handling to ensure seamless transition and minimal disruption.
Vigilant successfully managed the complex lift-and-reshape migration process in a remarkably short time, transferring several terabytes of data from the on-premise data center to OCI. The migration also included replicating non-cloneable Oracle environments without the need for reinstallation, configurations, or extensive testing.
Significant Performance Boost, Enhanced Security, and Cost Savings Realized Post-Migration
The business impact of this migration was substantial. Nature’s Sunshine experienced high-performance outcomes, improved operational efficiency, reduced risk and testing times, enhanced security and compliance, and better hybrid cloud configuration support. Additionally, significant cost savings were realized. The scalability of the cloud environment allowed Nature’s Sunshine to use and pay for services only when needed, which was a key factor in their decision to migrate. By leveraging Oracle IaaS services, the company eliminated the need to refresh end-of-life data center hardware and reduced day-to-day maintenance costs. The decision to move to the cloud not only provided immediate financial benefits but also ensured the sustainability and added value of their powerful applications for the foreseeable future.
The benefits of moving to the cloud extended beyond cost savings. Nature’s Sunshine gained greater scalability, allowing them to easily adjust resources based on demand. The enhanced security measures offered by OCI provided peace of mind, knowing their sensitive data was protected. Improved disaster recovery capabilities ensured business continuity in case of unforeseen events. The cloud environment also supported better collaboration and accessibility, enabling their global workforce to work more efficiently. Overall, the transition to the cloud positioned Nature’s Sunshine for continued growth and success in a competitive market.
