Business Needs

The customer was facing a scalability challenge with their Oracle Database Cluster. They had approximately 1.5 TB (600 million rows) of data and 200+ lines query which were run on Oracle database 11g cluster. Due to complicated report queries, it took 40 – 50 minutes for the system to run. The data was expected to grow 10 times in the next 2 – 3 years, it was vital that the client enhance the query performance from 40-50 minutes down to only 4-5 minutes to create headroom for the upcoming growth. A major implementation was of Oracle relational database to AWS’ Redshift capability. Project goals were to massively improve performance, and also reduce cost.

Solutions
