Case Study: Swiss Re doubles data warehouse performance with Oracle Exadata

Swiss Re - Customer Case Study

Swiss Re, a leading global reinsurer, needed to improve the performance of its 5 TB client markets and products data warehouse used by 4,000 direct and indirect users while also simplifying IT infrastructure and reducing operational costs. The company worked with Oracle Exadata and Oracle Database 12c to support faster reporting, better batch processing, and easier administration across its reinsurance operations.

Oracle Exadata helped Swiss Re upgrade to Oracle Exadata Database Machine X5-2 and Oracle Database 12c, consolidating systems onto a single platform and streamlining maintenance. The result was 2x faster batch processing, quicker report generation, reduced operating costs, and a full hardware/software upgrade completed in under five months, all while supporting 4,000 users with consistently high performance.
