Virtual-DBA Implementation Details

Virtual-DBA's On-site System Review

The on-site consulting engagement is designed to meet the following objectives:

Install and configure the Virtual-DBA data gathering and message transmission software.
Review the current database platform configuration in order to recommend any tuning and optimization adjustments that may be indicated.
Establish an initial set of system configuration and tuning parameter settings and allowable operating ranges for critical system resources.
Understand the type of application and user environment.

During the service implementaion, the Virtual-DBA specialist will look at performance measurements such as memory caching rates, checkpoint frequency and duration, and database write activity. Disk utilization will be analyzed for I/O balancing as well as to detect table and index fragmentation. A review of logical log backup and archive procedures will be performed to ensure recoverability in the event of a system failure.

After implementation, then data gathering, analysis, and follow-up occur with your assigned Virtual-DBA specialist.
