Korea Digital Exchange Ensures Data Availability and Security, Improves Agility, and Enhances Customer Confidence with Oracle PaaS
The Korean Digital Exchange (DEXKO) is a start-up company that provides a blockchain platform to trade cryptocurrency or Korean Won. Its goal is to deliver fast, secure, and convenient services to users.
DEXKO used MySQL in the early stage of development. Since over half of the 30 employees were developers, the exchange had difficulties with secure human resources for system management. DEXKO also wanted to reduce customer churn and prevent frequent system failures experienced by the other leading exchanges. By migrating to Oracle Management Cloud, DEXKO increased agility and improved its competitive edge.
