Case Study: Infinitas Learning reduces maintenance costs 60% and boosts performance with Oracle Database Appliance (Oracle)

Infinitas Learning Moves to Engineered Systems for Cost Reduction and High Availability

Infinitas Learning, a leading European provider of teaching and learning resources serving Sweden, Belgium and the Netherlands, faced a costly, fragmented database environment: 26 Oracle databases running on 20 HP servers that cost over $400K a year to maintain, took up to eight hours to process key CRM and financial transactions, and hindered agility and standardization as the company prepared to move to Oracle Database 12c.

The company consolidated its databases onto a single Oracle Database Appliance with Oracle Real Application Clusters, migrated and standardized all databases, and created separate instances for each business unit. The move reduced the physical footprint to one appliance and cut infrastructure maintenance by about 60% (saving more than $250K annually), increased transaction throughput by 40% (from 250 to 350 TPS), improved high availability and reduced downtime, and completed full migration within nine months with support from Oracle Consulting and Transfer Solutions.
