Oracle Utilities Meter Data Management 2.0.1 Demonstrates Extreme Performance On Oracle Exadata/Exalogic

New utilities technologies are bringing with them huge increases in data volumes. Residential smart meters alone will increase the consumption data processed for billing purposes from 12 meter reads per year to 35,000 or more. As a consequence, utility business managers and executives are asking: Does hardware and software technology currently exist that is capable of handling the large quantity of data from smart meters? Can today's technology process the data and produce the results needed to drive the meter-to-cash process in a timely manner? The tests described in this white paper answer these questions affirmatively. They demonstrate that Oracle Utilities Meter Data Management 2.0.1, running on a full rack Oracle Exadata Database Machine X2-2 and Exalogic X2-2, can easily handle smart metering data for any size of utility.
