Oracle Linux validation lab completed validation of a cluster configuration based on FlashGrid Storage Fabric. The validation is done using Oracle Linux Test (OLT) kit consisting of 55 tests with total duration of more than 100 hours. Validation tests Oracle Database installation: single-instance and RAC...
Microsoft Azure cloud offers agility and cost savings over on-premise IT infrastructure. Oracle RAC offers unsurpassed database HA for mission-critical databases. But how do you use the two together? Until now this has not been possible due to certain technical limitations of the public cloud...
One of the main questions that our customers ask us about running RAC in AWS is whether storage performance will be sufficient. With EBS storage it is possible to provision over 100K IOPS and over 3 GB/s of bandwidth per cluster, which is comparable to...
Our first results of measuring performance of a 3-node Oracle RAC on Oracle's own Bare Metal Cloud (BMCS) with FlashGrid software are quite spectacular! We focus our testing on the I/O performance because CPU performance is generally the same whether the servers are on-premise or in...
Great news! Our new white paper is out: Mission-Critical Databases in the Cloud: Oracle RAC on Amazon EC2 Enabled by FlashGrid® Software. It is now referenced by AWS. Also, we now provide an automated cluster provisioning tool for AWS and an AMI for it based...
