Cloud migrations have become faster and active-active databases achieve near-zero downtime
FlashGrid Cluster for Oracle RAC is very secure regarding its AI capabilities. Most products today rely on cloud migration or are connected to AI, so I believe it is quite safe. Of course, there is room for improvement. The accuracy and reliability of FlashGrid Cluster for Oracle RAC has been excellent. In my experience, the accuracy and reliability have been all positive, and I have no negative things to say about it. It is very helpful and secure. FlashGrid Cluster for Oracle RAC is deployed in my organization in a hybrid and private cloud environment. I use Azure and AWS as my cloud providers. My advice to others looking to use FlashGrid Cluster for Oracle RAC is that I believe a trial period for every database administrator would be valuable. Everyone might love the solution if given the opportunity to try it. I rate FlashGrid Cluster for Oracle RAC eight out of ten because while there is room for improvement, it was easy to navigate and accomplish automated infrastructure deployment, which was very helpful.

The solution's most valuable feature is the ability to create a Mount Point Package
They should continue with the certificate for the consequent year as well. They must keep the product up and running for a long time as it is currently static. There are a lot of challenges as well. Sometimes, the mount point gets lost depending on link failure or census problems. The solution works on a standard script, but it has many tech issues to fix with the OS. You have to keep checking network connectivity, OS connectivity, etc. If any of these fails, then you do not get the certificate.
