Edgenet case: R2/Edgenet/Data-Services-Provider-Upgrades-Operating-System-to-Boost-IT- Management-Efficiency/
Before digging in deeper on Mission Critical Performance lets take a look at how a customer has seen business benefits by utilizing the SQL Server 2014 mission critical performance capabilities.
Edgenet is a Software as a Service Provider the provides the decision buying guide with specific product recommendations for online retail storefronts for many large retailers. Given the sheer volume of inventory they are managing across the retailers they were in the past only able to accommodate daily inventory refreshes, which lead to some customer disatisfactions situations where customers could be presented with an ideal product based on the decision buying guide and not having it be available for purchase as inventory was updated daily. The business challenge Edgenet had was how to improve performance without increasing infrastructure costs.
Their solutions was SQL Server 2014’s new In-Memory OLTP capability, which without refreshing hardware increased their transaction speed by 7x resulting in near real time inventory updates and in addition they also increased the throughput of the system allowing for greater number of customers to hit an instance of SQL Server improve both retail sales and customer satisfaction.
TPP’s SystmOne software, used by health professionals across England, documents medical records & appointments for about half the patients in the country. Doctors in the U.K. typically only get five minutes with a patient, so in some cases, if a doctor can’t access the system fast enough, patients’ lives could be at stake. Because TPP was preparing to expand to China, India, and other densely populated countries, its challenge was to make sure SystmOne could scale up from handling a peak concurrency of over 72,000 users while also maintaining or improving the system’s average response time of 250 milliseconds per record.
TPP migrated from Microsoft SQL Server 2008 R2 to the new in-memory online transaction processing (OLTP) solution in SQL Server The new solution provides seven times faster performance and can scale to hundreds of thousands of requests per second. The company was glad to save time and money by not having to create its own database system, but the best benefit is that in situations where quick access to patient records is crucial, such as a prescription drug overdose, SystmOne saves lives.
