Yep I saw that product and that would have probably been the one I chose.

However, client isnt wanting  to stay on Oracle much longer, not pay for
anything extra.

Thanks

Hi Chris,

Another option for zero RPO within a region is FlashGrid Cluster. Can be
failover HA for a single-instance DB or RAC. It will do synchronous data
mirroring across two or three availability zones using Normal/High
redundancy ASM disk groups. When one AZ goes down, you still have one or
two mirrored copies of all your data in the other AZ(s).

Disclaimer: I work for FlashGrid

Thanks,
Mikhail

Hey guys, recently started working at a new company that's moving their
Oracle database to AWS.

One of the things they want is a near-0 RPO.

I was looking into AWS snapshot and replication to accomplish this which
seems pretty doable.
Either in the same region or into another region in case the region was
down/unavailable.

So I'm looking for two things:
1.) Other options?  Active-Passive setup in 2 different regions?  (Like
Failover but non-RAC)
2.) Anyone using AWS and snapshot copies & replication for Oracle in AWS?
