About Oracle Real Application Clusters (RAC)
Oracle Real Application Clusters (RAC) is a unique, scale-everything, highly available database architecture that transparently scales both reads and writes for all workloads, including OLTP, analytics, AI vectors, SaaS, JSON, batch, text, graph, IoT, and in-memory. It effortlessly scales complex applications such as SAP, Oracle Fusion Applications, and Salesforce workloads. Oracle RAC delivers the lowest latency and highest throughput for all data needs through its unique fused cache across servers, ensuring ultrafast local data access. Parallelized workloads across all CPUs guarantee maximum throughput, and the integration of Oracle’s storage design enables seamless online storage expansion. Unlike other databases that depend on public cloud infrastructures, sharding, or read replicas for scalability, Oracle RAC guarantees the lowest latency and highest throughput out of the box.
