Leading organisations in Asia Pacific, including AIA Malaysia and Bangkok Metropolitan Administration, continue to rely on Oracle Exadata Cloud@Customer to run their businesses and help them adapt to volatile business environments. They chose Exadata, the world's fastest database platform, to run mission-critical core banking systems and IT infrastructure workloads. This is due to the platform's ability to help customers quickly get more value from their data while meeting strict data sovereignty and security requirements.
Fitri Abdullah, Managing Director, Oracle Malaysia: “Malaysia is increasingly embracing digital connectivity in all aspects of our lives. This is leading to an exponential growth of data and organisations of all types looking to adopt cloud and other emerging technologies to modernise their operations and drive innovation. However, conventional data processing approaches can’t keep up with larger data volumes and processing and compliance requirements. Exadata is fast becoming the platform of choice to support their requirements for process automation, advanced analytics driven by machine learning (ML), and to accelerate their digital transformation securely. No other platform, do-it-yourself infrastructure, database, or cloud service comes close to the cost/performance or simplicity that Exadata offers or is available everywhere—in the public cloud, Cloud@Customer, and on-premises. Oracle is working closely with both private and public organisations across the region to share the benefits of Cloud@Customer.”
Oracle Exadata Database Machine X9M—the Core Platform
With the release of the latest version, the Oracle Exadata X9M platforms, the industry's fastest and most affordable systems for running Oracle Database continue to get faster. This builds on the core Exadata platform's unique scale-out architecture, which is optimised to accelerate analytics applications and the processing of low-level SQL queries, analytics, and machine learning algorithms. It aids in the simplification of IT operations by allowing any combination of OLTP, analytics, machine learning, in-memory, and mixed workloads to complete faster and with fewer resources. Exadata X9M customers can also consolidate even more Oracle Databases on a single Exadata system, reducing cost and complexity.
It also serves as a platform for customers to begin using Oracle's most advanced cloud database and cloud automation technologies, such as Oracle Autonomous Database, both in the cloud and in their data centres. This is due to the fact that it is available for deployment in Oracle Cloud Infrastructure, Oracle Cloud@Customer, and on-premises. Customers can thus modernise database infrastructure, migrate enterprise applications to the cloud, and rapidly implement digital transformations while meeting data sovereignty, security, and latency requirements.
In the customers’ words
Today, 87% of the Global Fortune 100 and thousands of smaller enterprises rely on Oracle Exadata Cloud@Customer to run mission-critical Oracle Databases, consolidate database infrastructure, and help reduce costs.
Gary Goh, AIA Bhd.’s Chief Technology Officer said: “Moving our enterprise data management platform which powers AIA’s key customer engagement and servicing capabilities to Oracle Exadata Cloud@Customer X9M further underlines our strategic priority of putting customers first. It remains crucial to us that we continue to deliver faster, more secure, yet deeply personalised service to our customers as we help them live healthier, longer and better. Not only does this upgrade improve the performance of our data, analytics and servicing applications, it also allows us to experience both time and cost efficiencies as we look to accommodate technology infrastructure expansion in the future.”
Suthathip Soniam, Director, General Strategy and Evaluation Department, Bangkok Metropolitan Administration: “With the implementation of Oracle Exadata Cloud@Customer as our primary IT platform for all of the key applications running our operations, we can provide more mobile-friendly services to residents. Having one single, integrated cloud platform can help us gain data-driven insights. Additionally, higher system efficiency and speed in collecting and analysing information can help reduce the wait time to be served and citizens’ service requests or inquiries can be attended to in a shorter time than ever before.”
