Case study
An SME in the HR solutions sector
Customer issues
A growing SME specializing in HR solutions needed to upgrade its storage infrastructure to cope with growing volumes and performance problems on Oracle applications, in particular payroll calculations in batch mode at night.
Context
An existing Oracle application, developed in the 90s, with numerous evolutions and over-layers to make it Web-compatible. A reduction in the duration of maintenance windows following the internationalization of the company - wider time zones - and the development of the Web - application accessible 24/7. An increase in the volume of payslips to be processed, and calculation times that no longer allow these operations to fit into night-time maintenance windows.
Constraints
The high cost of Oracle licenses makes it necessary to choose appropriate hardware
A small DBA team unable to engage in precise tuning of the system
Throw out more hardware in line with Oracle recommendations
There are three possible approaches:
Optimize base
Rewrite all or part of the code
Beef up equipment
This solution of beefing up the hardware was the simplest, quickest and least expensive - despite the high cost of the hardware and given the evolving performance of hardware (nVME, SSD, + RAM).
Work completed
Infrastructure analysis
Performance data collection
Definition of an evolution plan
Drawing up specifications
Consultation and choice of supplier
Handover to in-house project teams for deployment
Gains - Results
Batches can again be processed within the maintenance window. The chosen solution offers capacity extensions to add resources to grow the system for the next three years.
This solution enabled the team to gain time to consider more significant infrastructure upgrades.
