Confio Software Announces Chevron as New Customer

Global Energy Giant using DBFlash for Oracle

November 14, 2005 – Boulder, CO - Confio Software, the leading performance tool for Oracle databases serving Java applications, today announced that Chevron, the global energy company, has licensed Confio DBFlash™ for Oracle for use in optimizing database performance within Chevron operations.

DBFlash will be utilized to improve performance of critical business systems at remote production sites in Africa. The decision to license came after successful completion of a trial where the Confio Wait-Time performance methodology was used to resolve bottlenecks and restore system operations to optimal levels.

“Confio is honored to have earned the trust of Chevron as a customer, especially in this remote application where there is such a high reliance on their database systems”, said Don Bergal, Chief Operating Officer of Confio. “This underscores the ability of our tool to deliver as promised, and of the value of our Wait-Time performance tuning methodology.”

Specific licensing terms were not disclosed. DBFlash is licensed for use in monitoring and tuning Oracle databases, identifying the most critical bottlenecks affecting enduser performance and identifying steps to quickly resolve them. Confio’s agentless operation allows monitoring of up to 80 databases from a single central Repository, without installation of any executable agent on the production server. As a result, monitoring is accomplished without additional load on the monitored server.
