Confio Ignite for Oracle performance tool offers DBAs unparalleled insight into the true sources of Oracle database performance issues that affect IT systems and customer service levels. Unlike other Oracle performance management solutions that take a snapshot of a single session at one point in time, Ignite for Oracle shows all sessions all of the time, monitoring databases from a single repository on a 24/7 basis. Analysis is based on Wait-time methodology so problems can be isolated to specific SQL statements, which provide the deepest and most actionable level of performance detail. Performance impacts can also be investigated without needing to re-create the problem. DBAs can access trend reports spanning weeks, months or years to conclusively demonstrate performance changes, improvements, and impacts of new applications.

Precise Problem Origination

Ignite for Oracle performance management provides a level of visibility into Oracle performance problems that eliminates vagueness and ambiguity regarding the root cause and owner of inefficiencies. Oracle performance issues can be traced to a departmental level so the appropriate owners can be engaged, such as the application owners, developers, DBAs, system and network admins, consultants or outside vendors.

Optimized customized impact

Unlike traditional Oracle performance management tools that focus only on internal IT impact, Ignite for Oracle's proactive monitoring is designed to optimize the impact on the customer experience, the most relevant goal of performance analysis. Custom alerts and notifications empower DBA's to quickly address mission-critical problems and minimize or eliminate customer impact.

Confio Ignite for Oracle's Wait-Time approach to analysis measures the time spent waiting on each Oracle resource, illuminating causes of database and SQL statement delays. By isolating bottlenecks inside the statement layer, improvements can be quickly identified and addressed. Impacts can be tracked over time to gauge effectiveness of modifications.

Agentless Operation

Ignite for Oracle performance management requires no installed software on the production server so performance tool contributes no load or process burden on the server.

Based on wait-time methodology, Ignite for Oracle complements OEM by providing essential levels for performance data that allows DBA teams to identify and solve sophisticated performance ploblems that cannot be detected by OEM monitoring alone.
