Using our P&T Tools and a proven methodology, we are extending our database-focused services: Available through a secured connection. Top database experts available as needed using a pool of hours.
• Remote Physical Database Design:We have designed and deployed all kinds of systems, from OLTP databases to Decision support systems (Data warehouse, Business Intelligence and OLAP cube technologies). Our intervention quite often involves using advanced techniques such as data replication, clustering, and database mirroring.
• Remote Performance and Tuning:As part of any P&T engagement, we use a detailed performance and tuning methodology that has been developed over many years to offer predefined deliverables that maximize the end-result of our customers.Typically, our results include an improvement in database throughput ranging from 100% to 750% as well as a massive reduction in response times.
Supported databases: Sybase: SQL Supervision Oracle: Database Tuning MS SQL Server: SQL Shot

down through the graphs!• Easily isolate performance issues in seconds.• Optimization strategies can be implemented and
verified.• Safe “production” monitoring in real time.• Performance counters utilized include OS level.• Plug-and-play - no change to your IT architecture.• Monitor, Isolate, Drill-down approach.• Also runs in off-line mode with easy data export.• Track Record – 10 years of SQL and Database
performance and tuning tools.
Database Performance & Tuning tools
Video Demonstration
References/Examples
We are using Database Architechs' Performance and Tuning tools in all our production and test environments. Thanks to these tools we can anticipate and fix any performance issues. Isolating and fixing performance issues is now 16 times faster (down from 2 days to 1 hour). We can also log all the database performance metrics and information to isolate any past performance issue and produce some monthly reports on specific metrics. In addition, Database Architechs Performance and Tuning tools are helping us in identifying users' behavior, anticipating the required tuning to optimize response time.
We are using Database Architechs' Performance and Tuning tools for the following: 1) Monitor applications' response time before moving to production. 2) Isolate poor performing SQL queries, stored procedures, triggers ... on production databases. Thanks to Database Architechs' Performance and Tuning tools we've been able to improve SQL queries performances from few minutes to few seconds. Database Architechs' Performance and Tuning tools has also helped us to isolate performance issues during our database migration process.
I'm using Database Architechs' Performance and Tuning tools since several years. I appreciate very much these tools for real-time database server monitoring. I appreciate particularly: - The GUI, to visualize and isolate any performance issue in seconds. - How easy and fast it is, to install the tools and start monitoring any database server. - The logging feature, to analyze past performance issues. - The batch mode, to log performance metrics automatically based on events.

Our past and current Partners
Overall send rate 41 % faster (2005 vs. 2008)Overall restore rate 52% faster (2005 vs. 2008)
Overall availability topology inherits the restore rate ~ 50% more available
Example:• 743 ms Transaction (in 2005 mirroring configuration)• 379 ms Transaction (in 2008 mirroring configuration)
In failover, what would have been 20 seconds before mirror becomes principal turns into roughly
8-10 seconds (or 3 seconds turns into 1.5 seconds, so on).
DB Mirroring Benchmark: 2005 vs. 2008
Overall send rate 26 % faster (2008 Conventional versus SSD)Overall restore rate 17% faster (2008 Conventional versus SSD)
Overall db mirroring topology garners ~ 20% more availability
Examples:10 min 17 seconds to complete• 4:32:37am 4:43:00am (principal send’s)• 4:32:48 am 4:43:05am (mirror restore’s)8 min 38 seconds to complete• 3:45:19am 3:53:20am (principal send’s)• 3:45:20am 3:53:20am (mirror restore’s)
100% Transparent (zero DB & application changes) !
