Sanya Education Bureau Cuts 60% Annual IT Costs with Oracle Engineered Systems

Sanya Education Bureau, the municipal education authority in Sanya, China, wanted to build a private cloud to deliver digital learning resources and online services to schools, teachers, and students while simplifying administration and reducing maintenance costs. To meet these needs, the bureau turned to Oracle Exadata and Oracle Engineered Systems, along with Oracle WebLogic Suite, to support a large-scale education platform.

Oracle Exadata helped Sanya Education Bureau deploy a high-performing, scalable cloud in just three months, serving more than 100,000 concurrent users across 175 portals and 1,500 virtual desktops. The solution reduced maintenance tasks by 80%, cut annual IT costs by 60%, improved processing speed by up to 8x, and lowered data center space needs by 80% while saving US$30,000 in annual energy costs.
