BANGALORE and SAN FRANCISCO, October 27, 2015 /PRNewswire/ --

In the test, which was observed and reviewed by the global advisory firm Ernst & Young, the solution supported more than 2.0 billion bank accounts with near linear scalability. The results showcase Finacle's capabilities to manage extraordinarily large transaction volumes to help banks cater to their growing business demands at reduced costs.
The tests were conducted across a mix of delivery channel transactions that could originate from branches, ATMs, online and mobile channels. Finacle Core Banking version 11.1.2 was tested on Oracle SuperCluster M7, Oracle's SPARC T7/M7 servers running Oracle Solaris 11.3 with Oracle Database 12c along with Oracle WebLogic 12c to determine its performance and scalability parameters. PCI DSS security compliance on Oracle Solaris 11.3 was carried out as reported by Oracle. (1)
Key performance highlights:
- The test was simulated on the Finacle database of more than 65 terabytes having more than 210,026 branches
- Finacle processed 279 million business transactions per hour (i.e. 446.76 million effective transactions per hour) which is equivalent to more than 77,000 business transactions per second (i.e. more than 124,000 effective transactions per second), to manage workloads comprising customer touch points across delivery channels and third-party systems
Quotes:
Michael Reh, Executive Vice President, Infosys and CEO (designate), EdgeVerve:
