Cairns City Council
Overview By implementing enterprise-class computing technology, Cairns City Council knew it could provide better community support for the 120,000 residents who make use of its facilities and services. The challenge—build a computing infrastructure that delivers on the Council's promise to the community, do it quickly and with a reduced budget. The Council worked closely with Oracle, Dell and their integrator of choice to upgrade their applications set to the Oracle E-business suite on Oracle 9i RAC, designed for inexpensive Dell clustered servers running Red Hat Linux.The Oracle 9i RAC platform will reduce Council's ongoing maintenance costs for software and hardware by almost 75% over the next two or three years while providing mission-critical availability, greater reliability and increased speed, all of which result in better service to their constituents.
