Voltaire Ltd. (NASDAQ: VOLT), a leading provider of scale-out data center fabrics, today announced that Istanbul-based mobile telecommunications and technology company Turkcell (Turkcell İletişim Hizmetleri A.Ş.) selected Voltaire’s InfiniBand-based I/O fabric. Turkcell used Voltaire 20 Gb/s InfiniBand switches to successfully consolidate more than 18 Oracle® Database 11g instances onto a single Oracle Real Application Cluster enabling more efficient delivery of value-added services to customers and lowering computing costs.

Turkcell is the leading telecommunications and technology provider in Turkey and the second largest GSM operator in Europe in terms of subscriber numbers. As a fast growing company that prides itself in offering hundreds of value-added services ranging from text messaging to photo sharing and customized ring tones to its more than 37 million subscribers, Turkcell had created enough new applications to boost the number of database servers. Before the infrastructure upgrade, every time Turkcell added a new service, a new database had to be created, each with its own server running a proprietary operating system, with individual backup nodes for high availability. The result was a lot of costly, high-end server infrastructure that was running at only 10% to 20% utilization.

Turkcell deployed Oracle Database 11g and Oracle Real Applications Clusters on a six-node Linux cluster consisting of HP ProLiant DL580 servers interconnected with Voltaire 20 Gb/s InfiniBand switches. Using the solution, Turkcell created a more streamlined system for launching new services and lowered their computing costs by using fewer servers and less power.

“We selected Oracle Database 11g and Oracle Real Applications Clusters with Voltaire InfiniBand with the intent to consolidate many of our service databases and use just one platform to launch new value-added services to our customers,” said Hüsnü Şensoy, Turkcell Database Architect. “Not only have we saved money by reducing the number of servers in our data center, but we now have a much more utilized, highly available and flexible system that will allow us to scale to meet future requirements.”

“Using Voltaire InfiniBand for the solution’s I/O fabric is a key factor in the improved scalability and cost reduction enabled by moving to an Oracle Real Application Cluster environment. Voltaire InfiniBand also supplied the high bandwidth and low latency we needed to make applications migration run smoothly,” Şensoy added.

“Voltaire InfiniBand with HP servers running Oracle Database 11g and Oracle Real Applications Clusters enable Turkcell to transparently deploy a single database across a cluster of servers providing high availability and scalability, while lowering computing costs,” said Asaf Somekh, vice president of marketing, Voltaire. “We’re pleased to deliver Turkcell a future-proof, high performing, resilient system that helps them deliver highly profitable value-added services to their customers throughout Europe.”

“Customers moving from mainframes to a scale-out infrastructure model want increased server utilization, high availability and improved efficiency of the overall system in order to maintain business continuity,” said Ed Turkel, manager, business development, Scalable Computing & Infrastructure, HP. “HP ProLiant servers interconnected with the Voltaire InfiniBand fabric creates a high performance, cost effective platform to operate mission-critical applications like an Oracle RAC Database.”
