In-Memory Database Solution

+ ProblemsChina Telecom utilized Oracle TimesTen DBMS to operate its Account Balance Management (ABM) system to administer subscriber accounts.

In 2009, China Telecom grew increasingly uncomfortable with its Oracle platform for two crucial reasons:

High TCO: China Telecom found that Oracle's pricing was undeservingly high.

Poor Service: China Telecom was dissatisfied with Oracle's support staff and related service

In-Memory Database Solution

+ SolutionChina Telecom gauged the top, high-performance in-memory DBMS vendors and conducted benchmark testing on Oracle TimesTen, IBM Solid and ALTIBASE HDB1.

After the benchmark test, China Telecom chose ALTIBASE HDB for the following reasons:￭ Zero incidence of data loss

￭ Highest reliability among the leading systems

￭ The ability to simultaneously realize high performance and high availability

￭ Low Total Cost of Ownership (TCO)

￭ Industry-Leading Support
