What is a key benefit of OCI Virtual Machine DB Systems?

A key benefit of OCI Virtual Machine DB Systems is their support for Oracle Real Application Clusters (RAC) DB systems along with fast provisioning. This capability allows for high availability and scalability of database workloads. By utilizing RAC, multiple instances can operate on different servers while accessing a single database, enabling better performance and redundancy in case of a failure. Additionally, the fast provisioning feature allows users to quickly deploy new database instances with minimal manual intervention, facilitating rapid scaling and responsiveness to changing application demands.

This combination of high availability through RAC and efficient deployment makes OCI Virtual Machine DB Systems particularly valuable for enterprises that require robust database solutions to handle varied workloads and ensure business continuity.
