Case Study: Korea Telecom achieves 10× faster MMS delivery and 40% hardware reduction with Altibase

Korea Telecom uses Altibase for its multimedia messaging service Korea Telecom switched to Altibase from Oracle

Korea Telecom, the largest telecommunications company in South Korea, faced growing customer complaints that its legacy Oracle databases could not process multimedia messaging (MMS) fast enough in the LMSC text/MMS service. To restore real‑time delivery and retain customer confidence, Korea Telecom switched its MMS backend to Altibase’s database solution.

Korea Telecom adopted Altibase in 2009 to replace Oracle in its LMSC environment; after deployment Altibase delivered about 10× faster message transmission for the same message volume and reduced required hardware by roughly 40%, allowing KT to maintain competitiveness in text and multimedia messaging. Altibase’s database implementation provided these measurable performance and efficiency gains for Korea Telecom.
