Case Study: Informationsverarbeitung für Versicherungen (ivv) achieves 1.8x faster applications, 10x lower compliance reporting overhead, and higher customer satisfaction with Oracle SPARC T7-2 and Oracle Solaris 11.3

Informationsverarbeitung für Versicherungen Runs Applications 1.8x Faster, Cuts Compliance Reporting Overhead 10x, and Boosts Customer Satisfaction

Informationsverarbeitung für Versicherungen (ivv) is a Hannover-based IT provider for public insurers in Germany that designs, develops, and hosts Java and COBOL insurance applications and SAP systems for about 7,000 agents across 1,000 locations. ivv needed a secure, high-performance, multi-tenant platform to support real-time operations, protect sensitive customer data, and reduce compliance and operational overhead.

ivv deployed Oracle SPARC T7-2 servers with Oracle Solaris 11.3, using SPARC encryption, Solaris security and compliance tools, read-only virtualization/Kernel Zones, and role-based controls. The new platform delivered up to 1.9x faster encryption, 2x memory-bandwidth for Java (improving GC and response times), 1.8x faster SAP CPU/I/O, 2x faster DB2 install and queries, and a tenfold reduction in compliance reporting overhead—resulting in faster applications, stronger data protection, and higher customer satisfaction.
