A global US-headquartered biopharmaceutical company decided to move from Oracle Cloud to Azure to optimize costs

While migrating most servers was easy, there was a challenge with moving Oracle RAC clusters, which needed to be retained as the database backend. After researching options for running RAC on Azure, the company’s in-house operations team did a self-serve deployment of Oracle RAC on Azure using the FlashGrid Launcher free online tool. With the cluster already running, the operations team contacted FlashGrid to discuss completing the project and going live on the new Azure infrastructure with production and disaster recovery RAC clusters. FlashGrid performed an in-depth analysis of the customer’s AWR reports, suggesting the optimal sizing and configuration options for the clusters. The project was implemented on time, removing the roadblock for cross-cloud migration.

Mobile operator in Europe meets uptime SLA for their billing systems with FlashGrid for Oracle RAC on Azure

Uptime SLA of 99.99% or better was a central requirement for a mobile operator in Europe in 2018 when they were starting deployment of a new billing system on Azure cloud. The biggest challenge was achieving the required uptime SLA for the backend Oracle Database. After discussions with the billing system vendor the only practical solution identified was running 3-node Oracle RAC clusters spread across three availability zones. With such configuration the database could survive the loss of two database nodes, or loss of an entire availability zone. FlashGrid Inc partnered with the billing system vendor, and with TCS, a global IT services provider, to deliver the complete solution that included more than 20 Oracle RAC database clusters powered by FlashGrid engineered cloud systems.
