Why Oracle

The Oracle solutions’ easy integration, compatibility with existing skill sets, and key-value data model allowed Passoker to rapidly process data for consistency, relevance, and accuracy. Passoker considered open source solutions, such as Voldemort, but chose Oracle NoSQL, in part, because it was integrated with Oracle Linux, Oracle’s MySQL, and Oracle Glassfish Server, which were already in place in Passoker’s environment. In addition, the solution offered professional support instead of having to rely on internet searches to find answers.

Oracle NoSQL Database’s scalability as demand grows is also essential, as is high availability and performance to support 24/7 gaming operations.

Oracle NoSQL provided the performance and scalability required to meet the company’s extreme requirements. For example, on the last day of the Premiership soccer season, 20 teams were playing 10 simultaneous matches, as well as all the other leagues which Passoker tracks in real time. Each match would have 400 or more events (where events were individual actions during the match that could shape the result) and Passoker would need to identify and track a specific 35 to 45 of these events, based on the different bets being placed in the system at any moment. Oracle NoSQL Database scaled out to handle all these events according to demand.

“Moving to Oracle NoSQL Database allowed us to easily replicate, scale, and manage our data infrastructure, significantly reducing our development and testing times,” said James Anthony, chief technology officer, Passoker.
