The clustering technology implemented at the Karachi Stock Exchange has been developed by Oracle9i Real Application Cluster, which is a feature of Oracle9i Database. This paper identifies performance-related areas of the Oracle clustering technology and collect performance statistics in order, to statistically determine the performance gains for Karachi Stock Exchange from adoption of clustering technology.
