Case Study: Emirates Nuclear Energy Corporation achieves dramatic performance gains and US$500,000 technology cost savings with Oracle Exadata (Oracle)

Emirates Nuclear Energy Corporation Boosts Performance is Set to Cut Technology Ownership Costs by US$500,000 in Five Years

Emirates Nuclear Energy Corporation (ENEC), established in 2009 to deliver nuclear-generated electricity for the UAE, faced rapid IT growth and stringent availability requirements as the country’s energy demand surged. ENEC needed to sustain 50–100% year‑on‑year data growth for finance and HR, absorb a projected 150% load increase when its first reactor became operational, cut batch and cloning times, increase storage, reduce data‑center space and power, and lower technology total cost of ownership by US$500,000 over five years.

ENEC’s DBAs migrated Oracle E‑Business Suite to an Oracle Exadata platform in under six months, using Oracle’s engineered hardware and software to consolidate databases and streamline management. The deployment cut monthly payroll processing from 90 to 8 minutes, reduced an HR interface from 90 minutes to 1 minute, sped pay‑slip opening from 50 to 3 seconds, doubled cloning speed, increased storage capacity, reduced rack space and energy use, and delivered immediate ROI—putting ENEC on track to meet its US$500,000 TCO savings target while improving availability, performance, and agility.
