high availability

Overview Public Power Corporation wanted to optimize the value of Public Power Corporation's strategic investment in Oracle Database and Oracle applications by ensuring fast and smooth upgrades to new versions of the software and maintain high availability of Oracle Financials for the company's more than 2,000 users of the software. The challenge was to ensure that Oracle Financials delivers optimum performance even at peak user times, such as during monthly financial closing and reporting periods. The company contracted with Oracle Advanced Customer Services for proactive, 24/7 support for Public Power Corporation's Oracle database and applications infrastructure. It ensured business continuity by completing an upgrade from Oracle Financials version 11.5.7 to version 11.5.9 in just three business days with no problems.
