Database Performance Optimization Service
Optimize the Performance of Your Environment.
Database Performance Optimization Overview
Datalink’s database performance optimization service enables your organization to quickly identify issues that are slowing down the performance of your Oracle or SQL Server databases and the surrounding IT infrastructure. Based on our comprehensive analysis, we’ll provide you with in-depth recommendations for solving the problems we’ve identified and ensuring your environment operates at its full potential. Rather than exhausting valuable resources troubleshooting and testing solutions to improve database performance, you can spend your efforts on more strategic business initiatives.

Benefits are Immediate
In most IT environments, it can take months to correctly identify and diagnose bottlenecks—only to have the proposed solution push the problem elsewhere. Utilizing a software-driven tool that leverages a built-in, proprietary knowledge database, Datalink’s performance optimization service helps you avoid this fate.
  • Identify problems—Remove the guesswork by quickly and accurately pinpointing and solving issues that are affecting database infrastructure performance.
  • Gain access to key information—You’ll know how long it will take to solve each problem identified and what the outcome of the proposed solution will be.
  • Increase performance—With bottlenecks eliminated, avoid issues such as slow system response time and missed service level agreements.
Quick and Comprehensive Results
The database performance optimization service provides you with detailed analysis and an action plan that you can execute immediately. The entire process is quick and easy, occurring in just four days.
  • Day 1: Over a 24-hour period, Datalink will non-obtrusively collect data from the database infrastructure. We will then analyze this data, using an in-depth knowledge database that contains comprehensive information on all the major IT hardware and software technologies.
  • Days 2 & 3: We’ll compile a list of performance issues identified in your environment. The issues are categorized as hardware-based or software-based.
  • Day 4: We’ll recommend changes for improvement, detailing the impact of each change as well as the risks involved with implementation.
Broad in Scope
The performance optimization service will identify issues related to how your database interacts with all areas of your IT infrastructure, including:
  • Applications
  • File Systems
  • Oracle or SQL Server database
  • Network
  • Operating System
  • Server
  • Security
  • Storage
  • Volume Managers
Service Deliverables
At the conclusion of the service engagement, you’ll have an in-depth report that includes:
  • Detailed listing of performance issues—Problems typically span a variety of areas, from network to security. We present our comprehensive analysis in a thorough report.
  • Proposed “fixes” for each problem identified—This includes the time and resources associated with implementing the solution and what the outcome of the solution will be—so you can effectively weigh the pros and cons of all options. Solutions range in scope from simple, such as changing an operating system parameter, to more complex, such as rebalancing the LUNs.
  • Background information—We’ll provide you with the data that drove our recommendations, including best practices from the technology vendors represented in your infrastructure.
  • Presentation of findings—We’ll spend several hours going through the results with you and your team on-site. Our expert guidance, combined with the software-driven analysis, will give you the information you need to maximize the performance of your environment, utilizing as few resources as possible.
