Parallels RAS Deployment : Cloud
Replacing a complex mirrored database design with RAS really saves money: You avoid the cost of having multiple compute instances,
multiple operating systems, multiple database licenses, and complex configuration of mirroring, communication, backups and
monitoring. This typically results in a huge cost savings and reduction in complexity of 25% to 50% depending upon database size and
complexity, to say nothing of the operational savings that come from doing configuration systematically through a Web interface.
