What are the benefits of running an Oracle RAC database with FlashGrid in a public cloud?
Public cloud uptime SLA covers only VM instance uptime. It does not cover software or OS patching, crashes, or corruption. FlashGrid with Oracle RAC provides true database high availability with active-active redundancy between two or more database node VMs. If zero RTO and zero RPO are your targets then you should look at running FlashGrid with Oracle RAC.
How many RAC nodes per cluster can be supported?
The FlashGrid architecture does not impose strict limits on the number of RAC nodes. In most cases we recommend two or three nodes. To reduce network overhead we recommend increasing the size of the nodes (up to 224 cores) before adding more nodes. 2+2 redundancy across two availability zones may be used for extra HA. Clusters with 4+ nodes are possible for extra-large capacities.
