Case Study: Universidad de Las Palmas de Gran Canaria achieves 10x performance and consolidates 11 servers into one with Oracle Database Appliance

Universidad de Las Palmas de Gran Canaria Consolidates 11 Servers into One While Improving Performance by 10x and Reducing Costs

Universidad de Las Palmas de Gran Canaria is a public university in the Canary Islands with six campuses and more than 23,000 students, known for innovation and online programs. Facing an inefficient, costly IT architecture, the university needed to consolidate servers, improve database performance and availability across campuses, simplify administration, and gain scalability to better manage class assignments, payments, and growing online demand.

Working with Oracle partner DESIC, the university deployed Oracle Database Appliance and Oracle Active Data Guard to consolidate 11 servers into a single, ready-to-run system. The solution delivered 10x faster query performance, faster class selection for students, more reliable payroll and payment processing for faculty and staff, simpler database administration, lower maintenance and procurement costs, and high availability and scalability across all campuses and online programs.
