Violin launches automated Oracle Performance Analysis Service

Violin Memory®, Inc. has announced the worldwide availability of its Oracle Performance Analysis Service (O-PAS™). This innovative and unique tool helps IT professionals remove the complexity of reporting, analysing and decision-making around Oracle databases to help dramatically lower the costs of their Oracle deployments while increasing Oracle database and associated application performance.

At no cost to the end user or the reseller, the Violin O-PAS identifies core performance bottlenecks in end users’ Oracle environments and determines the suitability of flash-based storage solutions to substantially increase IOPS, reduce latency, and lower overall costs. In order to achieve this, the tool generates comprehensive reports that identify areas in Oracle implementations where massive performance improvements can be gained by using all-flash arrays and the associated cost savings that engenders.

 

Violin O-PAS reports offer accurate insights and measurements that help database administrators, application owners, IT executives, and resellers make informed decisions and select the right solution to achieve significant performance improvements and cost savings. Some of the report insights include:

 

· CPU vs. I/O wait time: if the time spent waiting on I/O is higher than the time spent working on the CPU, the database may be impacted by the performance of the storage system, leading to under-utilised CPUs and excessive CPU costs

· I/O wait overview: an overall indication of whether the existing storage is impacting database performance, and potentially, causing poor end user experience;

· Time lost waiting on I/O: an indication of how much time is wasted waiting for I/O calls to complete during busy periods. This value directly translates into lost productivity.

 

“We have seen, first hand, where poor database and application performance has cost our enterprise customers millions of dollars in lost revenue, extra IT and database manpower expenses, and unacceptable operational and capital expenses,” said Eric Herzog, CMO and SVP of Alliances at Violin Memory. “With the worldwide availability of O-PAS, end users and resellers will greatly benefit from the ability to quickly identify opportunities for significant improvements in cost, performance, and application delivery.”
