Oracle is the world’s most robust and complex
database, and along with this tremendous power and
flexibility comes great complexity.
Tuning an Oracle database has been
likened to working on a car while it flies down the
highway at 70 miles per hour.
|
Thousands of transactions are processed
every second and it’s extremely difficult to isolate
and repair an Oracle performance problem.
Oracle tuning takes years to master and
the internals of SQL optimization have become so complicated
that only a seasoned expert can make sense of Oracle tuning.
Oracle is like a large machine. Thousands of
moving parts and transactions flying through it at breakneck
speeds! Things move so fast in Oracle that tuning an
instance is like working on a car while it flies down the freeway at
eighty miles per hour. How do we work on such a dynamic
environment? What’s the secret to effective performance tuning?
Just deploy Ion for Oracle!
Ion for Oracle is a revolutionary new tool that
encapsulates the tuning techniques used by the world’s top Oracle
tuning experts. Using
applied artificial intelligence, Ion for Oracle employs decision support
system technology to relieve you of the tedium of querying dozens of
cryptic internal tables, placing the salient data right at your
fingertips.
Today’s DBA’s often manage dozens of instances,
and they need tools that get right to the heart of the systems,
tools that reveal hidden signatures and trends that define the
workload of the instance.
I’ve been a full-time DBA for more than 25
years, and I’ve learned that it takes specialized scripts to
separate the wheat from the chaff and see exactly what’s going on
inside my database.
Just as Socrates said “Know Thyself”, the motto
of a DBA should be “Know they database”.
-
Do you know what
your database bottleneck is?
Every database has one, you know!
-
Do you know what
your “hot” tables are?
-
Do you know how
your table and indexes are accessed?
-
Do you know when
your system is doing large-table full scans?
If the answer to these questions is “no”, then you
need a window into the internals of your database.
Enter Ion for Oracle
Ion for Oracle is a revolutionary new tool
that encapsulates the tuning techniques used by the world’s
top Oracle tuning experts.
Using applied artificial intelligence, Ion for Oracle
employs decision support system technology to relieve you of
the tedium of querying dozens of cryptic internal tables,
placing the salient data right at your fingertips.
Custom Recommendations:
Your database has relatively high
logical I/O at 164,756 reads per second. Logical I/O
includes data block reads from both memory and disk.
Consider tuning your application to reduce unnecessary
data buffer touches (SQL
Tuning or
PL/SQL bulking), using
faster
CPU?s or adding
more CPU?s to your system. |
How Does Ion work?
The Ion for Oracle architecture was over a
decade in the making, designed by Donald K. Burleson, a
five-time Oracle Press author and one of the world’s most
respected Oracle tuning experts.
Real-time performance
monitors have a serious shortcoming in that it is not easy to
isolate a single performance metric in a busy database, and
even harder to repair a problem while the database is
experiencing an acute performance problem.
Ion for Oracle spots hidden workload trends
Ion for Oracle adopts a proactive approach to
performance tuning.
By automatic the analysis of past trends, predictive
models can be generated that allow you to spot and repair
pending performance problems before they cripple your
database.
Ion for Oracle has true predictive analytics
Best of all, Ion has a built-in
knowledgebase that explains the root cause of any performance
problem and points you to supplemental information so that you
thoroughly understand the reason for any slowdown.
Ion is perfect for Oracle capacity planning
Ion makes it easy to understand your
database workload.
By aggregating important metrics by hour of the day and
day of the week, important workload “signatures” emerge, and
these hidden trends are the keystone for a proven Oracle
tuning methodology.
Ion for Oracle shows you how your tables are accessed
Ion removes the guesswork from Oracle
tuning. You see
exactly which tables are the most popular, how they are
accessed, and how changes will improve your database
throughput!
Ion for Oracle allows you to visualize hidden trends
A professional tool for the professional DBA
Ion for Oracle is not for beginners and
dilettantes. Ion
is a sophisticated tool for the professional DBA, a proactive
tool for successful database tuning.
