The leader in Wait-time based Application Performance Management, Confio Software is revolutionizing the way enterprises monitor, analyze and optimize their databases and applications. The Ignite for DB2 performance solution is designed specifically for organizations with mixed DB2 and Oracle Database environments. Developed for DBA’s, managers and developers, the Confio Igniter Suite enables organizations to optimize service levels for IT end-users and reduce total cost of operating infrastructure.

Actionable results based on proven Wait-Time Analysis

Wait-Time analysis, a best-practice method widely used for optimizing Oracle database performance, is now available for IBM DB2 performance tuning. Since analysis is based on Wait-time methodology, problems can be isolated down to the specific SQL statements causing delays, providing the deepest and most actionable level of DB2 performance detail. This level of data offers DBAs unparalleled insight into the true sources of database issues that affect IT system performance and customer service levels within heterogeneous DB2, SQL Server and Oracle database environments.

Common platform to monitor mixed DB2 and Oracle environments

With the growth of mixed database environments, DBAs require tools that provide a universal view of the performance of database management systems (i.e. IBM or Oracle). Ignite for DB2 performance provides a single architecture from which to monitor DB2 Version 9 for Linux, Unix and Windows environments . Ignite for DB2 performance provides a common repository for capturing both types of data, a single desktop client for reporting, and monitors any application that is dependent on DB2, Oracle, or SQL Server.

Unlike tools that take a snapshot of a single session at one point in time, Ignite for DB2 performance shows all sessions all of the time, monitoring databases from a common repository on 24/7 basis. Problems can then be isolated within the database and down to specific SQL statements.

Precise Problem Origination

Ignite for DB2 performance provides a level of visibility into performance problems that eliminates ambiguity regarding the root cause and owner of inefficiencies.

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 Impact On End Users

Unlike traditional system management tools that focus only on internal IT impact, Ignite for DB2 performance includes proactive monitoring 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’s Wait-Time approach to analysis measures the time spent waiting on each Oracle and SQL resource, illuminating causes of both database and SQL statement delays. By isolating bottlenecks between database instances as well as 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 DB2 requires no installed software on the production server so performance tool contributes no load or process burden on the server. Requires an Oracle database for installation of the Repository to monitor both DB2 and Oracle databases.   Ignite supports DB2 9 for Linux, Unix and Windows, as well as earlier DB2 UDB open systems versions. 

Immediate results (download and monitor in 30 minutes)

Waiting for installation, complex integration and results only compounds the frustration of existing delays and performance bottlenecks.  Ignite for DB2 performance can be downloaded, installed and providing data within 30 minutes.
