Case Study: GMO CLICK Holdings, Inc. achieves 6x faster FX trade execution and enhanced service quality with Oracle Exadata (Oracle)

GMO CLICK Holdings Executes Foreign Exchange Trades 6x Faster, Enhances Service Quality, and Supports Business Growth with Engineered Systems

GMO CLICK Holdings, a Tokyo‑based online financial services group (including GMO CLICK Securities) and a global leader in FX trading by volume, needed a high‑performance, scalable online FX system to handle massive trade volumes, improve user experience, and enable new products such as more currency pairs and larger trading units.

To meet those needs it migrated its FX platform to Oracle Exadata Database Machine (with RAC and Oracle Advanced Customer Support), consolidating databases and accelerating processing: 6x faster trade execution, 10x faster batch jobs, 5x faster REDO log writes, and 9x faster single‑block reads. The upgrade delivered real‑time rates and P/L access, supported trading units up to 5 million, eliminated single points of failure for seamless scaling, sped development with a pre‑tested platform, and ensured high availability through 24/7 remote support.
