Case Study: Yuanta Securities cuts hardware costs 70% and gains near‑real‑time data synchronization with Oracle (Database Appliance & GoldenGate)

Yuanta Securities Slashes Hardware Costs by 70% and Gains Near-Real-Time Data Synchronization with Database System Deployed in Just Hours

Yuanta Securities, a leading Taiwanese brokerage and investment-banking firm, faced a critical challenge after merging with Polaris Securities: retain Polaris’s popular transaction system (which ran on a different database platform) while avoiding disruption to time-sensitive trades. The company also needed to consolidate six database services, boost performance and availability to handle higher transaction volumes, and reduce the complexity and cost of managing multiple vendors and hardware platforms.

Yuanta deployed Oracle Database Appliance to consolidate databases and Oracle GoldenGate for seamless, near-real-time data replication between systems. The solution enabled database deployment in hours, cut hardware costs by 70%, reduced maintenance effort by about 90%, lowered licensing costs with capacity-on-demand, supported 40 million monthly trade transactions, and achieved near-real-time synchronization (about 1 second), ensuring high availability and an uninterrupted customer experience.
