Singapore government ensures uninterrupted operation of customs with FlashGrid for Oracle RAC on AWS

In 2018 the Singapore government launched its new National Trading Platform that provides customs services to traders, logistics companies, and carriers. The new platform was implemented by Accenture and deployed on AWS. Uninterrupted operation of the new platform and of the backend database powering the platform was a critical requirement. Accenture selected FlashGrid for Oracle RAC for its ability to provide active-active high availability with database nodes spread across two availability zones. Such multi-AZ configuration allows leveraging the 99.99% uptime SLA offered by AWS and non-stop operation even in the case of a local disaster or an outage affecting an entire availability zone.
