Reliable foundation for Oracle Data Guard FSFO on Google Cloud
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 Google Cloud VMs.
Oracle Failover HA on Google Cloud
Increase uptime of Oracle single-instance databases with failover clustering on Google Cloud. Generate a Google Cloud Deployment Manager template and deploy it in your Google Cloud account in 90 minutes.
DR site with Oracle Database on Google Cloud
Easily deploy a DR site on Google Cloud even if your primary site stays on-prem. Choose the level of HA required for your application: Oracle RAC, Failover HA, or single-instance DB. FlashGrid Cluster and FlashGrid Server offer a fast and proven way to deploy Oracle databases on Google Cloud while providing full compatibility with (Active) Data Guard and various Oracle database versions and full control over the database software similar to on-prem.

Case studies
Escala 24×7 ensures non-stop operation of a money transfer application with FlashGrid Cluster and Oracle RAC database
“We considered alternatives, but because the client was in a rush, we quickly ran a POC with FlashGrid Cluster on AWS. The highlight was that we could migrate the Oracle databases without refactoring and leaving Oracle RAC.”

An award-winning finance company in Vietnam sought to expand its cloud infrastructure
An award-winning finance company in Vietnam, recognized for delivering innovative digital financial solutions and exceptional customer experience, sought to expand its cloud infrastructure to meet increasing demand. To support both production and user acceptance testing (UAT) environments, the company utilized FlashGrid Launcher to deploy FlashGrid Cluster for Oracle RAC on AWS efficiently and repeatedly. This streamlined method enabled the consistent and automated provisioning of databases in the cloud, thereby minimizing manual effort and deployment time. As a result, the company successfully scaled its Oracle RAC infrastructure on AWS, supporting business growth while maintaining high availability and performance.
EDF migrates from IBM Mainframe to Oracle RAC on Azure powered by FlashGrid Cluster
“EDF’s internal team of DBAs, engineers, and lead solution architect spearheaded the transition to cloud computing. From the beginning, we could demonstrate it was feasible and that we could rely on a highly available Oracle database on Azure thanks to FlashGrid’s technology and guidance.”

A leading aerospace company based in Brazil needed to migrate several applications from their data center to Azure
These applications relied on Oracle RAC as the backend database and were critical to the aircraft manufacturing process. The company’s IT services provider executed the migration in three phases: starting with a proof-of-concept and testing, followed by deploying test and development clusters, and finally, launching production and disaster recovery systems. Since 2020, all systems have been successfully running on FlashGrid Cluster on Azure.
A global US-headquartered biopharmaceutical company decided to move from Oracle Cloud to Azure to optimize costs
While migrating most servers was easy, there was a challenge with moving Oracle RAC clusters, which needed to be retained as the database backend. After researching options for running RAC on Azure, the company’s in-house operations team did a self-serve deployment of Oracle RAC on Azure using the FlashGrid Launcher free online tool. With the cluster already running, the operations team contacted FlashGrid to discuss completing the project and going live on the new Azure infrastructure with production and disaster recovery RAC clusters. FlashGrid performed an in-depth analysis of the customer’s AWR reports, suggesting the optimal sizing and configuration options for the clusters. The project was implemented on time, removing the roadblock for cross-cloud migration.

Leading SaaS vendor achieves High Availability on AWS with Oracle 19c SEHA and FlashGrid Cluster
“I quickly realized that with FlashGrid Cluster on AWS, my team would keep full control and use familiar Oracle tools like ASM and Clusterware. FlashGrid Cluster is a layer underneath our existing stack that makes it easier to use. Unlike DBaaS, FlashGrid allows us to use all Oracle features and keep the level of control necessary to do our jobs without imposing restrictions on the functionality and interoperability of the database system.”
