Singapore social security fund selects FlashGrid for Oracle RAC on AWS

When the Singapore Central Provident Fund had to select a database solution to run on AWS, the choice was not hard. Since 2018 the Singapore government was already running its customs services on Oracle RAC powered by FlashGrid. Building on the success of the proven architecture, Cognizant, the government’s contractor, deployed FlashGrid for Oracle RAC with multi-AZ architecture to fully leverage the 99.99% uptime SLA offered by AWS EC2.


U.S. Department of Veteran Affairs migrates applications to a private cloud, selects FlashGrid Storage Fabric to enable shared storage for Oracle RAC.

A major applications and solutions provider approached FlashGrid Inc when they had to migrate an application they were hosting for the U.S. Department of Veteran Affairs from a traditional data center to a private cloud. The application was using Oracle RAC for its backend database. The private cloud was based on VMware Director and provided advanced VM and networking capabilities. However, the cloud lacked the shared storage capability required for running Oracle RAC. The FlashGrid Storage Fabric software was used to create highly available shared storage seamlessly integrated with Oracle Automatic Storage Management (ASM). FlashGrid Storage Fabric enabled migration to the private cloud without sacrificing the database high availability provided by Oracle RAC.


U.S. federal agency deploys FlashGrid for running multi-AZ Oracle RAC on AWS GovCloud, meets condensed project timelines.

A government contractor approached FlashGrid Inc when they needed to move applications and their backend Oracle RAC databases to AWS GovCloud. The requirement was to run the database nodes across availability zones to take advantage of the 99.99% uptime SLA provided by EC2 for multi-AZ deployments. The project was critical for the agency and the timelines were very tight, leaving no room for error. FlashGrid for Oracle RAC on AWS was the only practical solution that met the project requirements. Infrastructure-as-Code deployment automation with FlashGrid Launcher enabled quick and easy deployment of a PoC cluster, followed by a production cluster. Delivery of the FlashGrid software through AWS Marketplace allowed the contractor to focus on the technical side of the project and effortlessly establish a relationship with FlashGrid as a new vendor.


Singapore government ensures uninterrupted operation of customs with FlashGrid for Oracle RAC on AWS

In 2018 the Singapore government launched its new National Trading Platform that provides customs services to traders, logistics companies, and carriers.
