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

Simplyhealth boosts database performance 11x with FlashGrid

Simplyhealth, a UK-based provider of everyday health cash plans, was experiencing significant performance bottlenecks with its Oracle RAC database clusters. Generating critical reports was taking over an hour, causing delays in data processing. Their challenge was to achieve a higher level of database availability and performance without increasing infrastructure costs. They approached FlashGrid for a solution.

FlashGrid implemented its Storage Fabric software, enabling Simplyhealth to migrate its virtualized Oracle RAC clusters to commodity servers equipped with high-performance NVMe SSDs. This solution leveraged FlashGrid's Read-Local™ technology to unleash the full power of the storage. The result was an 11x improvement in performance, reducing the time for a 125GB full table scan from over an hour to just 6 seconds, which eliminated processing delays and increased productivity.
