Reliable foundation for Oracle Data Guard FSFO on AWS
When building an HA solution with Data Guard FSFO (Fast-Start Failover), certain infrastructure failure types or OS configuration mistakes can undermine the entire HA architecture. Without proper failure isolation, the database service may freeze or experience brown-out instead of the expected failover. Only FlashGrid Server provides a reliable foundation for Data Guard FSFO on EC2.

With three database nodes spread across three availability zones, FlashGrid leverages the 99.99% uptime SLA offered by Azure for multi-AZ deployments.
Billing and payments SaaS vendor migrates to AWS, uses FlashGrid for running Oracle RAC
When the SaaS vendor decided to start new deployments on AWS instead of on-prem, they were facing the question of how to keep running the same software stack with the same uptime SLA and similar performance.

World’s top-10 bank achieves reliable operation of Oracle RAC with FlashGrid Storage Fabric
Corporate and Institutional Banking division of a global bank had challenges with their existing EMC storage system running extended-distance Oracle RAC clusters. Performance was insufficient and reliability problems were resulting in downtime, which undermined the entire purpose of Oracle RAC clustering. The bank turned to FlashGrid Storage Fabric software in combination with standard SSDs installed in the database servers. After one year of testing with a non-critical workload, the bank switched critical workloads to the new Oracle RAC clusters powered by FlashGrid Storage Fabric software.
