Case Study: Asia Commercial Bank achieves up to 4x faster daily closings, 3x storage capacity, and 30% lower hardware costs with Oracle

Asia Commercial Bank Processes Daily Closing up to 4x Faster, Increases Storage Capacity by 3x, and Cuts Hardware Investment Costs by 30%

Asia Commercial Bank (ACB), one of Vietnam’s largest private banks with 346 branches and more than 4 million customers, needed to speed ETL and reporting from core banking systems, expand storage to handle rapid transaction growth, and reduce three‑year IT investment costs while enabling a scalable virtualized environment.

After a two‑month proof of concept, ACB replaced legacy IBM systems with Oracle SPARC T5‑8 servers, Oracle ZFS Storage Appliance, Oracle Database and Oracle VM for SPARC. The solution cut hardware investment by 30%, tripled storage capacity (8 TB to 24 TB), sped daily batch closing up to 4x (15 minutes vs up to an hour), delivered up to 10x faster ETL and 2x faster BI reporting, halved virtualization costs, and achieved over 5x data compression—enabling timely daily reports and smoother operations.
