Importance of Database Tuning on Oracle VMware
Oracle database management software is the number one choice for enterprise-level database management. IT organizations both big and small use Oracle database management software by the tens of thousands. It is the number one choice for performance, reliability, and scalability.Discover how important database can be
With
that being said, Oracle Database performs even better in a virtualized
environment. With this knowledge, more and more IT organizations are
virtualizing their Oracle database environments. They are using VMware,
the industry leading virtualization software, to help with the
transition to virtual environments. VMware’s cloud-based infrastructure
provides cost-cutting benefits while simultaneously giving businesses
more ability to adapt to quickly changing business situations.
And,
in a world where successes are measured by bottom line results, VMware
provides Oracle administrators with measurable time-to-markets and total
cost of ownership improvements over existing physical environments.
Oracle VMware Database Tuning with IgniteVM
Moving
to a virtual environment to reduce hardware management expenses
requires a systematic plan to monitor database performance. Virtual
environments require the same type reliable and accurate performance
monitoring and database tuning as with physical machines. IgniteVM is
the only Oracle monitoring tool that links database response performance
with the multiple layers of the virtual server architecture. IgniteVM
gives DBAs and application administrators the unparalleled ability to
see exactly where physical and virtual performance issues are occurring.
This enables them to hone in problems areas with their database tuning efforts. They can easily detect, locate, and repair issues that affect end-user performance.
Ignite monitors the inter operation of Oracle and VMware, which helps remove
much of the risk of migrating Oracle databases to virtual environments.
IT organizations have been reluctant to migrate to an Oracle VMware platform because
of hidden I/O and CPU bottlenecks that other monitoring solutions
simply can’t see. Once DBAs can see these bottlenecks they can create
database tuning plans that address and repair them before they create
further problems.
