Altibase
Altibase is provider of In-Memory
data solutions for real-time
access, analysis and distribution of
high volumes of data in mission-
critical environments.
National Agricultural
Cooperative Federation (NACF)
NACF, with 1172 branches, is the
largest and only national, agricultural
cooperative in Korea. NACF’s
Cooperative Banking Unit offers
diverse financial services such as
deposits, loans, credit cards,
insurance, FOREX, and securities.
Summary
Altibase enabled NACF to provide customers with uninterrupted, 24/7
service while increasing performance speeds by 500%.
In-Memory Database Solution

4. + Problems
NACF was spending inordinate amounts of excess capital
supporting overtime employees, extended office hours and
resulting inefficiencies.
 The vast majority of NACF’s branches were forced to prolong operating
hours on a regular basis. The culprit was performance issues with its
Financial Accounting Information System1.
 NACF’s Account Processing System could not effectively manage loading
and processing large volumes of data feeds from its 20 application servers.
Representative data feeds included tasks such as transaction
processing, branch teller support and error management.
 The underperformance wasted valuable resources in the form of needless
overtime pay, while sparking an uncontrollable deterioration of company
morale and overall productivity.

5. + Solution
In 2006, the NACF deployed ALTIBASE HDB in-memory DBMS to
buttress its Account Processing System. Realizing that the root
cause of its performance failures stemmed from the pervasive
limitations of its traditional on-disk DBMS, the NACF made the
switch to ALTIBASE HDB in-memory DBMS. ALTIBASE HDB resolved
NACF’s large volume data management deficiencies, shortening
office hours, increasing worker productivity and decreasing spend.

6. + Results
 NACF has reduced the operating hours of its 1172 branches,
respectively, by an average of over 1 hour per day.
 NACF’s Account Processing System has increased the performance of
loading and processing data feeds from its 20 application servers by
500%.
 NACF’s Account Processing System seamlessly handles 3000
transactions per second and over 50 million transactions per day.
 NACF provides customers with uninterrupted, 24/7 service leveraging
Altibase’s High Availability feature that comes out of the box and
deploys without issue.
 NACF no longer wastes capital on office overhead, overtime pay and
has repositioned itself for high productivity igniting further growth.

leveraging the key features of ALTIBASE HDB, specifically in the areas of high-
performance and high-availability.

 With a conventional on-disk DBMS in the backend, NACF’s Account Processing System could
not effectively manage loading and processing large volumes of data feeds from 20
application servers which provided different categories of services. The legacy system only
allowed data processing to execute in batch/day processing windows. The throughput
requirements of the application environment went far beyond the on-disk DBMS’s intrinsic
capacity. As the number of concurrent sessions and the volume of data increased
drastically, the performance and the stability of the on-disk DBMS suffered greatly.
 Planned and unplanned system outages became the norm, negatively impacting NACF’s
business.
 NACF deployed ALTIBASE HDB in the in-memory only DBMS mode to replace the old,
underperforming on-disk DBMS. After NACF made the switch to ALTIBASE HDB, the system
started processing of data from the application servers in real-time. The system handled
more than 4,000 concurrent sessions with ease. The system’s throughput was also
dramatically improved, delivering a minimum of 10 million retrievals per system per day.
 NACF’s Account Processing System has increased the overall performance of loading and
processing data feeds from its 20 application servers by 500%.

Performance

9. +
 Using the out of the box replication feature, NACF implemented
ALTIBASE HDB based on a 2-node, Active-Active HA architecture.
In this architecture, both ALTIBASE HDB nodes processed
transactions concurrently, with each node capable of taking over
in the case of a failure of the other node, providing non-stop
service with improved reliability and fault-tolerance.
 This architecture ensured that NACF’s mission-critical data was
never compromised by unplanned downtime - due to a system
crash, malfunction or planned downtime - due to patches or
upgrades to its DBMS.
