Overview

Petrobras is the biggest Brazilian energy company, producing approximately 1.8 million barrels per day. The company wanted to provide its users with a database platform able to support massive data increases due to the company's rapid growth and meet the requirements of performance and services level expected by users. The challenge was to create an environment with high availability database in order to prevent system downtime and its effect on service levels and standardize and reduce the cost of database administration by consolidating applications on a server grid. Petrobras implemented Oracle Database with Real Application Clusters, a high-availability solution that provides users with non-stop access to its critical applications.
