NZ’s Second Biggest Power Company Removes Oracle, Goes SQL Server
New Zealand’s Powerco pretty much removed its Oracle instances in favor of Microsoft’s SQL Server. There were also changes in hardware, virtualization and a drop in the number of Citrix servers. The GIS moves over this week; hopefully after a user presentation at Tech Ed, we’ll learn more about how the company was using Oracle and how it’ll be using SQL Server for spatial data (or not). The company uses Televent Miner and Miner apps built on ESRI tech (source). The money saved: $390,000 a year.
Open source was not considered as the goal was to standardize to one system from a mixed Oracle/SQL Server solution.
