Case Study: Nuance achieves highly available medical imaging database in Azure with FlashGrid

Conversational and Cognitive AI Leader Chooses FlashGrid for Database High Availability in Azure Cloud

Nuance, a leader in conversational and cognitive AI, faced the challenge of migrating the high-availability backend for its PowerShare medical imaging network to the Azure cloud. The company required a resilient database architecture to ensure uninterrupted service for its platform, which exchanges billions of medical images. They approached vendor FlashGrid to implement this critical infrastructure.

The solution deployed was the FlashGrid engineered cloud system from the Azure Marketplace, which utilized Oracle RAC to deliver a highly available database with zero data loss and downtime. This architecture allows for maintenance without service interruption and is deployed via automated Infrastructure-as-Code. As a result, Nuance PowerShare now operates on a flexible, agile Azure infrastructure with a continuous and uninterrupted service for its users.
