Infosys Finacle achieves New Global Benchmarks

Infosys has announced that its Finacle core banking solution running on an Oracle SuperCluster engineered system has set new global benchmarks for the number of transactions processed across key banking functions. In a test that was audited and reviewed by the global audit firm, Ernst & Young, the solution supported over 1.9 billion bank accounts with near linear scalability – a number higher than the current population of China, the most populous country in the world. The tests were conducted across a mix of 12 business critical online transactions and batch processes.  The Finacle solutionwas tested on an Oracle SuperCluster and Oracle SPARC T5 servers with Oracle Solaris 11 to determine its performance and scalability parameters.

The test also saw Finacle processing 726 million effective transactions in four hours, or over 50,000 average transactions per second, to manage workloads comprising of multiple online transactions and customer touch points as well as third party systems.This represents six times the daily volume of transactions currently processed by the entire US banking system, based on industry estimates of transaction volumes. These results highlight Finacle’s capabilities to help banks manage extremely large transaction volumes and cater to a dynamically growing customer base at lower costs.

Additionally, Infosys Finacle has earned Oracle SuperCluster Optimized status through Oracle PartnerNetwork (OPN), demonstrating that Finacle has been tested and tuned on Oracle SuperCluster to deliver speed, scalability and reliability to customers. Infosys is a Diamond level member of Oracle PartnerNetwork.
