Problem
A major pain point for Samsung Electronics was that its Oracle Coherence based back-end failed, causing its global authentication service to stop for several hours. For its app users totaling near 100 million, Oracle Coherence’s disaster caused huge frustration, attrition and immeasurable opportunity loss.
Furthering the problem, Samsung Electronics could not fully recover critical data after the Oracle Coherence crash because of irretrievable data loss. Samsung Electronics needed a solution that seamlessly recovered data even in the event of a total system failure.
Samsung Electronics sought a high performance, reliable and robust global authentication service for its fast growing number of users. Concurrent to its high performance (hot data) needs, Samsung Electronics needed a solution for storing large historical data (cold data). The company needed the speed of RAM and the volume of on-disk storage.
