Hello everyone,

Our company is planning to set up a resilient IFS Remote Cloud on AWS, and we need redundancy at every possible point of failure.

  • MT Server: According to IFS documentation, it's recommended to have at least three nodes with a load balancer for high availability (IFS High Availability Overview). Has anyone implemented this architecture?
    If so, could you share your experience and any tips?
  • Oracle Database Server: IFS supports Oracle 19c Enterprise Edition/Standard Edition 2. However, relying on a single database instance seems risky due to the potential for a single point of failure. Has anyone used Oracle Cluster or other redundancy solutions for the database? Any insights on setting up Oracle Standard Edition High Availability or Oracle Real Application Clusters (RAC) would be greatly appreciated. 

Thank you in advance for your help!

 

For the database side I’ve used RAC as well as Dataguard and even Oracle’s Golden Gate product in the past.  All worked well. 

There’s some overhead, and they add some complexity to management, but they are all worthwhile implementing if you’re looking for HA improvements IMO.

Ok that is fine news, do you have any knowledge of HA with Amazon RDS for Oracle ?


Unfortunately not
