The latest version of Oracle FLEXCUBE Core Banking is pre-tuned to optimize performance, scalability, as well as transaction speed, and includes features that help banks strengthen existing fund management capabilities, compile a flexible lending portfolio, and quickly adopt new delivery channels.
Benchmarked on two Oracle Exadata X3-2 Full Racks and one Oracle Exalogic X3-2 Half Rack, Oracle FLEXCUBE Core Banking Release 5 achieved an online throughput of 24,377 transactions per second, and completed end of day batch processing for 100 million accounts in 128 minutes (2:08 hours) and end of period batch processing in 236 minutes (3:56 hours).
This release reinforces Oracle-s continued commitment to Asia-s rapidly growing banking sector with new functionality that supports loan-backed overdrafts, asset classification norms, and positions accounting to meet Chinese bank business requirements.
