4 Performance management and optimization solutions for IBM DB2 for Linux, UNIX and Windows
Become proactive with InfoSphere Optim
Performance Manager
Improve database and application performance and reduce
costs by providing DBAs and other IT staff with the
information to detect and prevent problems early. InfoSphere
Optim Performance Manager enables administrators to
view database health summaries, isolate and analyze typical
database performance problems and use dashboards to drill
down for more details. It also delivers 24x7 end-to-end
database transaction monitoring for workloads of any type,
from online transaction processing (OLTP) to business
intelligence (BI).
InfoSphere Optim Performance Manager provides seamless
analysis of performance data from real time to any point in time.
Integrated alerts and notications inform DBAs of potential
problems. Interactive dashboards make it easy to see what
happened recently, compare activities to prior points in time
and visualize trends (see Figure 2). Reports help DBAs easily
identify costly queries for proactive tuning or capacity planning.
IdentifyingperformancebottlenecksatVisa
Visa—the global payment technology company—needed to
monitor performance of its 122-partition warehouse to identify
skews, find performance bottlenecks and manage service-
level objectives for key customer workloads. By adopting
InfoSphere Optim Performance Manager for DB2 for Linux,
UNIX and Windows, the company can now exploit the DB2
in-memory metrics infrastructure and enable monitoring
across all partitions. The solution helps administrators
visualize transaction performance and see where they were
spending time. Staff can isolate bottlenecking problems
while simplifying administration.
“Optim Performance Manager Extended
Insight makes performance troubleshooting
simple by providing the elapsed times
at each component level in multitier
architectural environments.”
