AUSTIN, Texas, March 24, 2021 /PRNewswire/ -- TIM Brasil,
one of the largest telecommunications providers in Brazil with more than 61 million customers,
today said that it has selected Oracle and Microsoft to migrate all
of its on-premises workloads to the cloud. TIM Brasil is one of the
first telecommunications companies in the country to move 100
percent of its workloads to the cloud. As part of its
multi-faceted modernization project, TIM Brasil will use Oracle and
Microsoft clouds to improve customer support as well as billing,
collection, and management applications.
As Covid-19 reshaped the way the world does business, TIM Brasil
realized that it needed to accelerate its digital transformation,
by verifying changes in consumer behavior to better meet evolving
needs quickly and maintain its excellent standard of customer
service. With the adoption of Oracle Cloud Infrastructure (OCI) and
Microsoft Azure, TIM Brasil is moving its mission-critical
applications to the cloud, optimizing and simplifying management of
its IT infrastructure, as well as improving scalability and agility
to support changing business demands.
As part of this migration, TIM will use the Oracle-Microsoft
Azure Interconnect in Brazil to
leverage the best of both OCI and Microsoft Azure. With the
interconnect, TIM Brasil will run critical workloads on Oracle
Exadata Cloud Service, Oracle Database Cloud Service and OCI's
Oracle Cloud VMware Service, while running SAP HANA and VDI
workloads on Azure, with 40 Gbps connection and federated identity
between the two clouds. TIM Brasil will migrate a combined 7,000
servers, 35K cores, 1.2K databases, and 15 petabytes of storage.
This project is part of TIM's commitment to better
environmental, social and governance practices. In addition to the
new platform using renewable energy, migration to the cloud
automatically reduces emissions directly associated with storing
data in physical spaces, an important step towards the carrier's
goal of being carbon neutral by 2030.
"Our proposal is to take the customer's experience to a new
level with more efficiency and agility, and always with the highest
levels of security. We are the first carrier to promote a change
with this dimension, also anticipating initiatives related to
governance and sustainability, within a larger project related to
an ESG agenda across all of TIM's operations. We are following the
market movement and investing in areas such as Analytics and
Digital, which are fundamental for the expansion of the company's
business; and we have partners that meet the highest levels of
quality to highlight our pioneering spirit and reference for the
Telecommunications sector," said Pietro
Labriola, CEO, TIM Brasil.
"This is a milestone for the market. Movements like this happen
more frequently in large companies. We are extremely proud to have
been chosen, together with Microsoft, to carry out this innovative
project to migrate 100 percent of TIM data centers to the cloud.
This will bring more innovation, agility and, without a doubt,
better services for customers. We are going to create an even
greater world of possibilities together," said Rodrigo Galvão,
managing director, Oracle Brazil.
"We were very proud to be chosen together with Oracle to conduct
such an ambitious project. The migration of all TIM datacenters to
the cloud will ensure security, scalability, simplification of IT
infrastructure management and allow the operator to focus on
constantly improving the experience of its customers. It also gives
me great satisfaction to see Microsoft technology being used as a
vector for sustainability, helping TIM in reducing the carbon
emissions of its operations," said Tânia Cosentino,
general manager, Microsoft Brazil.
