Programme context
Vodafone consolidated distributed legacy computing platforms across 40 data centres into six Oracle Cloud Infrastructure Dedicated Regions in three countries, migrating thousands of database workloads and associated applications.
Why this matters: This record identifies a named Irish or UK organisation, a bounded predecessor state, a destination platform, an affected workload and a source-stated operational stage.
Migration timeline
| Date or stage | Milestone | What changed | Evidence status |
|---|---|---|---|
| Source publication date not stated | completed | Oracle's customer story describes the completed consolidation from 40 data centres to six OCI Dedicated Regions and the migration of thousands of database workloads and associated applications. | Confirmed |
Workload migration matrix
| Workload | Predecessor | Destination | Status by 28 Jul 2026 |

Implementation and architecture
- OCI Dedicated Region provides cloud services inside Vodafone-controlled facilities across the three-country deployment.
- The programme migrated thousands of database workloads and hundreds of associated applications.
- Oracle Database@Azure forms part of the wider distributed-cloud operating model.
Known unknowns and contradictions
- The exact production cutover dates for each data-centre wave are not stated.
- The source does not enumerate every database, application or legacy platform retained after consolidation.
- The public page does not state its own publication date.
No missing fact is inferred to broaden the source-supported platform-change claim.
PlatformTrace analysis
The official Oracle source supports the bounded 40-to-six data-centre consolidation, migration of thousands of database workloads and decommissioning of redundant or unnecessary databases and applications. It does not establish retirement of every Vodafone legacy system, and the broader cloud-modernisation programme continues.
Performance, cost, uptime and operational outcomes remain attributed source claims unless independently stated otherwise.
