Japanese telecom service provider KDDI has selected Oracle SuperCluster to strengthen authentication system for mobile core network and support data growth.
As part of the contract, KDDI will consolidate legacy infrastructure on Oracle SuperCluster in order to improve system performance to support increased data volume for smartphone and LTE services.
With increased demand for data transactions and traffic from 40 million subscribers as of September 2013, KDDI wants to strengthen its authentication system for managing subscriber information and connectivity information for smartphone and mobile phone users.
KDDI uses Oracle SuperCluster running Oracle Solaris and Oracle VM Server for SPARC with Oracle TimesTen In-Memory Database.
KDDI is consolidating 40 existing enterprise servers onto a single Oracle SuperCluster that will reduce its data center footprint by 83 percent and power consumption by 70 percent.
Four Oracle SuperCluster systems will help significantly improve overall system performance, and enable KDDI to scale to accommodate future growth.
Using Oracle VM Server for SPARC, KDDI can reallocate resources and more easily add capacity as business demand grows. This virtualization technology also allows sub-capacity licensing of Oracle software on Oracle SuperCluster, which can lower Oracle middleware, database and application software license costs.
