My main use case for FlashGrid Cluster for Oracle RAC is cloud migrations and active-active high availability across multiple availability zones. I use FlashGrid Cluster for Oracle RAC for spreading database nodes across distinct cloud data centers, which guarantees the uptime SLA of 99.99%, achieving zero RPO and nearly zero RTO. RPO and RTO are crucial for any database, and this capability has been very helpful. I also use FlashGrid Cluster for Oracle RAC for automated Infrastructure as Code deployment. For SQL Server DBAs, it is used for Always On Availability Group setups, and for Oracle, it simplifies manual RAC installation, which has been very helpful.
My main use case for FlashGrid Cluster for Oracle RAC is where I need a high availability solution for Oracle databases and where I have the requirement to migrate to the cloud. When I have an on-premise RAC cluster, I do not need FlashGrid. When I need to install Oracle RAC in the cloud, then I need FlashGrid. FlashGrid Cluster for Oracle RAC enables Oracle RAC in the public cloud, which can be AWS, Azure, or GCP. It reduces the migration risk from on-premise to cloud because FlashGrid provides that shared block storage in the cloud.
High Availability Clustering ensures continuous service availability by distributing workloads across multiple servers. This technology prevents downtime by enabling failover capabilities, which automatically switch tasks to operational servers if one fails.
High Availability Clustering is essential for organizations looking to maintain uninterrupted services. It uses multiple servers that work together, enhancing system reliability and performance. During a server failure, workloads...

I tested the product as a proof of concept for Oracle RAC and Database High Availability in a non-production environment.
