Integra LifeSciences is a biomedical corporation that’s addressing life-threatening situations with help from Oracle Cloud Infrastructure (OCI). Based in New Jersey, United States, Integra is a leading global provider of regenerative and neurosurgical devices and technologies. Integra’s products include tissue technology for wound reconstruction surgery for burn victims, nerve damage, and dura repair, systems for neurosurgery and neuromonitoring, electrosurgery, and advanced monitoring. Their products have become ubiquitous in hospitals and are relied upon by surgeons and patients around the world.
Integra has enjoyed unprecedented growth since 1989 through significant acquisitions. As a result, the infrastructure team is constantly pushing the boundaries to support this business. Unfortunately, their initial integration partner had several unsuccessful attempts at migrating workloads to the cloud. The previous vendor had resized the database platform three times during six months, causing a series of service disruptions that affected end-user experience across global teams.

That vendor’s cloud infrastructure issues included incorrect sizing, complexities with pricing, and lack of performance. At the same time, some of Integra’s technologies in colocated data centers were out-of-date and expensive to maintain. Therefore, the corporation had the following goals: Successfully migrate all mission-critical E-Business Suite applications and databases to the cloud to take advantage of the elasticity and agility cloud-based infrastructure can provide. With exceptional migration support from the cloud vendor, their implementation partners and in-house IT teams can quickly deploy and integrate new systems that can serve the global end-user base. Reliably monitor and manage cloud-based applications at all times so that issues are resolved quickly, and products required by surgeons and healthcare providers aren’t impacted. Use high-speed networking to enable comprehensive disaster recovery capabilities and large data transfer for enhanced analytics. Provide interoperability between OCI and Microsoft Azure.
