Infinity Rewards ensures uninterrupted trading with Oracle Cloud Infrastructure

Ensuring business resilience ahead of peak trading periods

With a critical need to ensure business continuity and data integrity, and a limited on-premises disaster recovery system, Infinity Rewards looked to design and build a more resilient, cloud-based solution using Oracle Cloud Infrastructure (OCI). They wanted the new infrastructure to be operational in time for them to transition their disaster recovery workloads to OCI before the festive period in December, as they needed to maintain high availability and performance to handle peak workloads effectively during their most critical business season.

A secure disaster recovery environment for retail rewards

We worked with the Infinity Rewards team to design a solution that would support their current and future needs, enabling them to manage peak loads at busy times and support future growth. Our cloud-based disaster recovery solution leverages Oracle OCI to enhance resilience, data integrity and business continuity.

Getting the DR environment up and running on OCI was of utmost importance, as they couldn’t risk any outages over their peak December trading period. A migration plan was created to ensure the secure migration of critical disaster recovery applications and database instances without compromising production workload availability.

The disaster recovery environment was tested rigorously to ensure it met operational requirements and security measures. Working together, the NTT DATA and Infinity Reward teams were able to complete the migration on schedule, within tight timeframes.

A successful migration sets the stage for growth and stability

Implementing the OCI disaster recovery solution for Infinity Rewards before the December festive season was a turning point in their operational resilience.

This scalable, cloud-based disaster recovery solution minimizes the risks of data loss and downtime, ensuring business as usual even during high-demand periods. It ensures that they can handle peak trading volumes with improved data integrity and business continuity.

The project exceeded expectations and demonstrated a forward-looking approach to leveraging cloud technology for business growth and stability.

Following the successful implementation of the disaster recovery workloads, Infinity Rewards is considering its readiness for migrating production workloads to cater for future expansion. The Infinity Rewards and NTT DATA architecture teams are collaborating to assess the production workloads and understand future workload requirements.
