Case Study: BitCash Inc. achieves up to 30x faster e‑money transactions and high availability with Oracle MySQL Cluster Carrier Grade Edition

BitCash Supports Future Business Growth with MySQL

BitCash Inc., a major Japanese issuer of prepaid electronic money used for online games and digital content purchases via mobile devices and convenience stores, faced intense competition and wanted to diversify into new revenue streams such as e‑sports. The company needed a highly available, high‑performance clustered database to speed up massive merchant data imports and aggregation, improve system response times, and enable remote replication and a future disaster‑recovery site.

After a three‑month selection and migration, BitCash deployed MySQL Cluster Carrier Grade Edition with Oracle Enterprise Manager and Oracle Premier Support. The in‑memory clustered solution delivered up to 30x faster system response, cut a week‑long data import to 30 minutes, reduced aggregation times to about eight hours, enabled active‑active geographic replication for DR planning, and eliminated large consulting fees—while accelerating time‑to‑market for new services.
