Deploying an Oracle database of 11 GB improves the competitiveness of medium-sized enterprises

Oracle has launched the 11g database for more than a year. With the overall testing and evaluation of the 11g database by customers in various industries, the number of users who begin to upgrade to or deploy the Oracle 11g database is also increasing. Some enterprises have already achieved great returns by deploying the Oracle 11g Database.

 

"Oracle Database 11GEnables us to punch abve our weight in a highly competitive industry. It underpins our strategy to become the leading company in our sector ."

Volume Ltd is a world-leading market research agency that provides services such as sales strategy and market channel management for some world-class companies such as Dell, Linde Group, and Yahoo. Volume is responsible for providing the best availability and performance for customer-oriented applications.

 

After the company was founded for more than 10 years, Volume began to implement business intelligence services for its customers, which led to the increase in the company's business data volume at a rate of 43% per year, in addition, the company's web applications interact 20,000,000 times a day. The. NET and SQL Server architectures and development tools implemented by the company earlier cannot meet such expansion. To maximize the performance, availability, feasibility, and security of customers' important commercial applications, Volume began to look for a technical platform, this platform needs to be able to make flexible changes based on the dynamic changes in the market and provide creative development features, minimize service unavailability and risks, and be able to communicate with existing ones.. NET application seamless integration. Finally, they chose to migrate to the Oracle 11g database.

 

Six months after implementation, volume has migrated more than 50% of its businesses to the Oracle Database 11g grid architecture, the seamless operability of Oracle and various development tools enables all existing businesses to operate normally during migration.

 

In the months after implementation, the virtualization environment, advanced storage, compression attributes, and Data Partition features of the Oracle database 11g quickly reduced the hardware and resource consumption of the volume IT system, server resources are reduced by 50%, and disk capacity is reduced by 40%. Automated System Management (Enterprise Manager Grid Control) reduces routine O & M personnel of the volume IT system by more than half, in addition, Volume ensures that applications can be used by customers at any time in 99.8% cases, and it O & M personnel are not required when the volume system is extended; volume selects the securefiles of the Oracle 11g database as a platform for storing, managing, and backing up customer data of various structures, "Oracle securefiles means that we no longer need a separate container to store information assets and support more types of data for faster access, the information backup, management, failover, and cluster operations are more convenient, "said Alvarez, IT Director of volume.

 

Currently, volume is evaluating other features provided by the Oracle database 11g, including offline backup (off-site) and load replay to ensure continuous performance improvement.

 

Before the official start of deployment, volume is expected to spend four months implementing the Oracle Database 11 GB, but they only spent two months to complete the implementation and data migration, other consulting service providers are not required to provide services.

 

In addition to volume, there are also other companies such as Hebei lanbei liquor group and Novartis pharmaceuticals. They all integrate enterprise information and optimize their business processes by implementing the Oracle database 11g, achieve "re-engineering management" of enterprises to further enhance core competitiveness and business scale. Many of these companies that have deployed Oracle Database 11G are medium-sized enterprises of small size, which means implementing Oracle Database 11g is far less expensive than people think.
