A common concern for businesses is optimizing database speed and performance, without raising costs.
Nav Canada supports flight planning with aviation weather, aeronautical information, and online flight planning. To address a need for a more cost-efficient environment for their critical flight planning data, while optimizing performance they decided to migrate from an on-premises Oracle system to Microsoft Azure SQL Database. They turned to the database and cloud experts at Pythian to assist them.
“Pythian’s breadth of expertise spans both traditional on-premises and cloud environments, making Pythian the perfect partner as we migrated critical workloads to the cloud.”
Pascal Chamma, Manager, Nav Canada Database Technology Services.
Pythian was tasked with creating a Proof of Concept (PoC) on an Azure database, while simulating the central SQL database. The project team demonstrated that the same level of performance could be achieved within a more cost-effective cloud environment. The PoC proved that the new system could run a process (3000 lines of PL/SQL code) every 20 seconds, performing calculations on up to 3 minutes of collected data.
Nav Canada is currently implementing the system across a production environment, with Pythian advising them as needed.
