Database Tuning for Oracle VMware

Oracle database management software is the standard for enterprise-wide database computing. When mission-critical database management is needed, most companies turn to Oracle. It is the de facto choice for most IT organizations looking for a solution with industry-leading performance, scalability, and security.

Learn about the importance of database tuning.

This industry leader is only improved when run in a cloud-based environment. This means that another industry leader is needed to virtualize Oracle Database. They are using VMware, the industry leading virtualization software, to help with the transition to virtual environments. Database administrators can reduce operating costs and hardware management expenses with VMware while still positioning themselves to more nimbly respond to changing business needs.

And for managers and business stakeholders who measure everything by bottom line impacts, VMware provides superior time-to-market and total cost of ownership numbers.

IgniteVM for Oracle Database Tuning

Database performance monitoring is an integral part of a successful migration to virtual environments. Just as in physical environments, databases require constant performance monitoring and database tuning. Linking database response performance with multiple layers of the virtual server architecture is only possible with IgniteVM. That link gives DBAs an accurate picture of where performance issues are occurring in both the physical and virtual levels. This enables them to hone in problems areas with their database tuning efforts. Performance issues are easily detected, located, and repaired.

Because IgniteVM monitors the interoperation of Oracle and VMware and not just physical environments, it helps reduce the risk of moving Oracle databases to virtual environments. The inability of other monitoring solutions to find these hidden I/O and CPU bottlenecks have made IT administrators reluctant to migrate to Oracle VMware environments. Once DBAs can see these bottlenecks they can create database tuning plans that address and repair them before they create further problems.
