"Banca Transilvania has a long history and strong partnership with Oracle. We expect that the 30 times performance improvement of the Oracle Database Machine will enable faster access to business information and will allow us to launch new products exactly when the market needs them, which will be a direct benefit to our customers," said Marius Ursuti, Director IT, Banca Transilvania.

"We saw significant improvements in the tests we did on Exadata. The minimum improvement was 27x with an average of 470x improvement on the queries we tested compared to our current system.
