KTF Improves Transaction Speed by 1,000% With Integrated Authentication Service System

Overview

Established in 1997, Korea Telecom FreeTel (KTF) is Korea's second largest mobile operator with a subscriber base of approximately 12 - 13 million. KTF required a system that could be developed quickly and was compliant with existing databases. KTF's Service Infrastructure Research Centre, part of its Research & Development Institute, has deployed Oracle TimesTen In-Memory Database and Oracle Real Application Clusters (RAC) 10g to develop a fast, integrated subscriber and service authentication system for its wired and wireless services. This feature creates a cache for Oracle data in the application tier in real time, offloading computing cycles from backend systems and resulting in reduced development time and improved application performance.
