Case Study: Simplyhealth achieves 11x faster database performance with FlashGrid Storage Fabric

FlashGrid Increases Database Performance by 11x for Everyday Health Plan Provider

Simplyhealth, a major health plan provider, was facing performance issues in its Oracle RAC databases. Generating critical reports took over an hour due to a bottleneck in their mixed storage system, causing processing delays and unproductive wait times for their personnel. They approached FlashGrid for a high-availability solution that would not increase their infrastructure costs.

FlashGrid implemented its Storage Fabric software, enabling Simplyhealth to migrate its databases to commodity servers with NVMe SSDs and utilize FlashGrid Read-Local™ technology. This solution unleashed the full performance of the new hardware. The result was an 11x improvement, with a specific report's full table scan time reduced from over an hour to just 6 seconds.
