FlashGrid Cluster
for Oracle DB on Azure

3X higher storage throughput than Azure disks alone

Infrastructure-as-Code deployment with a few mouse clicks

24/7 support for entire infrastructure stack

3X Storage Throughput

Do not let storage throughput limit performance of your Oracle databases. Compared to a single VM, FlashGrid enables up to 3X storage throughput by adding two additional VMs as storage servers.

12,000 MB/s

360,000 IOPS

Engineered Cloud System

FlashGrid Cluster includes both the database and the storage servers. It is delivered as an Azure Resource Manager (ARM) template. All components of the stack are selected and tested for performance, reliability, and compatibility. But you still have full control of the VMs, OS, and the database software. You can customize OS settings or install third-party software.

Just 30 minutes to deploy your Oracle server

FlashGrid Launcher lets you deploy a database server and storage in your Azure account with just a few mouse clicks. Save time on configuring the storage, OS, and Grid Infrastructure software. The deployment process is fully automated and repeatable.

Optional Failover HA clustering

Increase database uptime with failover HA clustering (optional).

Switch-over to the second DB server for planned maintenance.

Automatic failover to the second DB server in case of an unexpected failure of the primary DB server.

Zero RPO achieved by having shared storage between the two database servers.
