Case Study: JSC Bank of Georgia achieves maximum availability and 5x faster end-of-day processing with Oracle Exadata

Bank of Georgia Strengthens Market Leading Position with Maximum Availability and Engineered Architecture

JSC Bank of Georgia is the country’s market leader in financial services, serving more than 1.3 million customers through branches, ATMs, online channels, and call centers. Facing growing demand and legacy Sun/Hitachi infrastructure, the bank needed to guarantee high availability and performance across all customer touch points, shorten end‑of‑day processing so systems are ready by 8:00 a.m., and complete a complex hardware/software migration within a six‑hour downtime window.

BOG replaced its legacy servers and storage with two Oracle Exadata Database Machine X4‑2 half racks and deployed Oracle RAC with Active Data Guard as a Maximum Availability Architecture, using Oracle Database and Premier Support for Systems to migrate 5,000 users, 70 applications and a 5‑TB database within the planned six‑hour window. The upgrade cut end‑of‑day processing from 15 hours to 3, reduced CPU load from ~80% to 15% per node, offloaded reporting to a synchronized replica, improved availability and compliance, and freed DBAs from overnight interventions while accelerating analytics and decision‑making.
