DATABASE TUNING

Database tuning, also known as Database Optimization, is the process of identifying the root causes of performance issues and resolving them to achieve optimal database speed and memory usage. Without proper tuning, a database can cause slow processing and unnecessary memory consumption.

Our tuning services include, but are not limited to:

• Analysis and tuning of database objects.
• Review and adjustment of processes and applications.
• Evaluation and optimization of database network performance.
• Tuning of backup and recovery procedures.

Why Perform Database Tuning??

Although there are many reasons why a database can present performance problems, one of the most frequent is in reference to the design, which can be identified at the moment of putting an information system into production. At an initial moment the information can be small, but as the database grows in volume due to the business activity, the performance starts to degrade progressively.

Many factors can contribute to database performance issues, with design flaws being among the most common. Initially, data volume may be manageable, but as the database grows with business activity, performance can gradually degrade.

Problems can sometimes be found in I/O due to database overages (missing or inadequate indexes), slow or misconfigured disks.

Our tuning service includes a customized plan for each database server based on an analysis that adapts to the specific needs and measurements of each client.
