Case Study: Hongta Securities Co., Ltd. achieves 40x faster database performance and 92% fewer servers with Oracle Exadata

Hongta Securities Accelerates Database Performance 40x, Cuts Server Requirements by 92%, Minimizes Business Risk, and Supports Financial Innovation

Hongta Securities, a Kunming‑based listed securities firm founded in 2002, needed to improve database performance and reliability across more than 20 business‑critical applications (CRM, transfer agent, asset liquidation, compliance, etc.), enable resource sharing for a private cloud to support big‑data driven financial services, and cut total cost of ownership for operations and maintenance as the company expanded to 37 branches.

Hongta consolidated dispersed databases onto a single Oracle Exadata Database Machine, completing the migration in two months. The solution boosted query throughput and performance by over 40x, cut server requirements by 92% and hardware costs by 68%, increased storage capacity by 90% through 33x compression, and improved availability and disaster recovery with Oracle RAC and Active Data Guard—enabling faster service rollout, stronger risk compliance, and measurable cost and operational efficiencies.
