Oracle RAC is one of the most resilient database configurations available utilising multiple Oracle database servers as a cluster to deliver high performance and resilience for your database applications.
Oracle RAC is available in Oracle Standard Edition up to and including Oracle 18c providing that only 2 nodes are present and the total number of CPU sockets is limited to 2. With Oracle 19c onwards RAC is no longer available in standard edition and is an Oracle Enterprise Edition feature only however 3rd party products are available instead to continue using Oracle standard edition with an element of disaster recovery if desired.
Vinters have experience on working with highly resilient Oracle databases with multiple points of failure possible whether that be on Oracle Standard or Enterprise edition and have numerous offerings for Oracle Standard Edition 19c and above where replacing Oracle RAC is required without an upgrade to enterprise edition.
Vinters are also able to offer stretch clusters utilising two or more of our geographically diverse data centres to provide disaster recovery of Oracle based infrastructure over distances up to 4700 miles apart utilising our proprietary disaster recovery and high availability solutions.

Oracle RAC Hosting FAQ’s
Oracle RAC (Real Application Clusters) hosting is the deployment of Oracle’s database clustering components across multiple servers in a hosted environment to create a highly available and load distributed database platform. An Oracle RAC setup contains multiple database nodes, allowing workloads to run in a parallel, which under normal operation provides load distribution, however if one node fails the others continue running without interruption.
Oracle RAC is not currently supported on non-Oracle public cloud environments such as AWS or Azure. Both platforms can run standalone Oracle databases or clustered alternatives however only OCI, on-premise deployments and private cloud deployments where full control of the underlying infrastructure is available can meet the requirements to be officially supported.
You should consider Oracle RAC hosting when your workloads demand continuous availability, have a low tolerance for downtime, or require the ability to scale database performance horizontally. We most commonly see Oracle RAC hosting in mission‑critical sectors such as finance, healthcare, SaaS and e‑commerce where outages directly impact revenue or compliance.
Oracle RAC provides several major advantages. It delivers high availability through automatic failover, it offers scalability allowing multiple nodes to process workloads in parallel and it helps to enhance performance by distributing work across the cluster.
