With FlashGrid for Oracle DB on AWS Database Users Unlocking 3X Storage Performance Boost on AWS

Occasionally, the required storage throughput can exceed the limits of a single Amazon EC2 instance, causing delays in data processing.

To solve this problem, FlashGrid, Inc. has created FlashGrid for Oracle DB on AWS. Building on the FlashGrid Cluster for Oracle RAC on AWS, it has developed a technology to extend database storage to additional EC2 instances and deliver up to 22,000MB/s and 1,250,000 IO/s at 0.036ms read latency. In effect, tripling what a single EC2 instance can deliver.

Also baked into the product is the tech that powers FlashGrid Cluster for Oracle Failover HA on AWS. This system increases database uptime and allows switch-over to the second DB server for planned maintenance. Also, if there is an unexpected failure of the primary DB server, the automatic failover switches to the second DB server, and by having shared storage between the two, Zero RPO is achieved.

“FlashGrid has already helped many Oracle customers who need high availability on AWS. Now we are also bringing high performance to users of single-instance Oracle databases, removing one of the last barriers in migrating to the cloud.”, said Art Danielov, CEO.

Setup is straightforward thanks to the infrastructure-as-code deployment. Users generate a CloudFormation template using FlashGrid Launcher, upload it to their AWS account, and with a few clicks, deploy a virtual infrastructure appliance suited to their specific requirements. It’s easy and repeatable.

All solution components have been vetted and tested for performance, reliability, and compatibility. The company also provide 24/7 technical support with SLAs covering analysis, deployment, and maintenance of the entire infrastructure stack.

Because FlashGrid for Oracle DB is a virtual appliance, admins retain control of their EC2 instances, OS, and database software. The firm has no access to the data so a high level of security is maintained.

FlashGrid for Oracle DB is billed via AWS Marketplace, in all regions, including U.S. Government Cloud and China.
