Improving Application Performance with Solix Database Archiving Solutions
1) What are the problems if no data file?
Databases have grown much larger than expected by their creators and are filled with useless data. Many companies, therefore, seek to reduce the bulk and content archives little used.
"The data are increasingly 125 per cent per year, but up 80 per cent of these data remains inactive in production systems where performance is paralyzed, "sad Charlie Garry, senior program director at META Group. "Compounding this problem, many companies in the midst of compliance initiatives that require keeping more data for long periods of time as well as consolidation projects that results in significant data growth. "
The systems database that have not adopted the data file are facing many problems such as rising costs storage and reduced performance. They continue storage of unnecessary data that has no value after a certain time. They keep these unwanted data, This includes maintaining the server which increases the cost of storage.
Here is an example of a company that uses data to improve performance and copy itself to the rigors of global compliance issues: Tektronix Inc., Beaverton, Oregon, focuses on the extent of testing and monitoring products. Everyone financial data companies is a huge Oracle database. Previously, Tektronix 486 different legacy systems operating internationally. Countries like Japan, India and China use complex systems and unique character sets. "All existing systems requires its own equipment, software and resources, "said Lois Hughes, Senior Systems Analyst Business Tektronix." While we continue to add countries, the complexity is amplified.
Tektronix current production environment is running Oracle 10.7 in all countries. This means only two instances of Oracle:
1) Oracle Financials for accounts payable (AP) General Ledger (GL), and other transactional systems running a database server processors UE5000 dim., 8 x 336 MHz and 3 GB of memory. This instance is 35 GB
Oracle Compliance 2) Customer Service - the billing, accounts receivable (AR), etc. The database production is about 85GB and consists of a box of Sun UE6000 processor 12 x 248 MHz and 6 GB of memory. It also includes a forms server - a Sun S2000 Processors 10 x 60 MHz and 2 GB of memory.
This system suffers traffic volume fairly constant around 800 concurrent sessions during the day and night. Ms. Hughes said that unless the number of cases Oracle Finance, reduce the cost. The Standardization also means the company could improve its level of customer responsiveness, increase visibility of inventory in the world whole and reduce IT spending worldwide. The monthly closing of Finance can now be done in three days and a half.
However, this philosophy conducted its own set of problems. The database quickly expanded to 60 GB, increasing at a rate of 1.25 GB per month. Yield began to suffer. "Despite the years of tuning and upgrading equipment, increasing the pace of growth caused a decline in functioning," said Hughes. "Execution time of batch programs increased despite fewer executions.
Faced with rising costs lower performance storage, the company has investigated the use of data patterns. He realized that the execution of all data all periods of time on the same system has slowed traffic transactional courses. Over time, data usage declines. However, the Users have reported that simple queries age current account - the time to go for a coffee, chat for a while and then return to your terminal to see the results.
2) different solutions:
Data can be organized or stored for backup. Through tiered storage, snapshots, disk backup, and / or virtual tape libraries, backup and recovery data has improved dramatically with the old standard process to save directly on the main disk of the film (and I hope can we get slap on the disk if necessary).
Data can be archived, where records are deleted production systems and are stored or is kept for easy access and reference to the retention has expired or data had not more business value.
The following is the solution adopted by the company to resolve the problem: Tektronix has compared the costs and potential outcomes of the two roads to get ahead,
a) continue to buy records, networks, servers, processes and people or
best practices b) Putting in place to manage data growth through intelligent archiving.
And b) seems to be the most attractive, the first movement of the department used its own resources and programs. They looked at the drain as the best option to reduce the footprint of the data.
However, international financial regulations mean that debugging should be accompanied per file. Hughes reports that Oracle itself has committed several errors in its purging function. The company has tried to develop its own purge / software archiving. However, when management realized that it could take two years, looked elsewhere. The goal was to be able to manage country data, while at the same time, centralizing it. Just as different languages and character sets, many countries have completely different data retention regulations.
The company has adopted a system of data file, which worked closely with Oracle to purge and archive data. Hughes has successfully undertaken a pilot project to apply for registration for companies adopting International.
Accordingly, the Company performs the archiving of transactional data every three months. Initially, information has been upgraded (lower priority in the same instance of Oracle, then moved to a less expensive infrastructure. Users, they are able to access all data on a screen without headaches. Results: Efficacy improved database from the perspective of end users in terms of consultation and reporting requirements reduced storage, data retention is now fully supported by countries, and reducing backup times. "Consultations are instantaneous," Hughes. "Overall, they designed an improvement of 46 percent of our financial results through the implementation file. "
3) What is the Solix solution and why it is the best?
The objective of Solix Data File
The Solix Technologies Enterprise Data Management Suite advantage of common metadata repository to organize, preserve, protect and manage business information. The EDMS is the foundation of the company Metadata Manager, which captures metadata of packaged enterprise applications, and various databases. This allows administrators to databases to map metadata between applications and define the conversion rules used as a basis for policy-based file. Build mapping also ensures that the information stored there is still access the first application and database. A central location metadata provides organizations with the necessary foundation for managing information more effectively, especially databases and related applications, allowing administrators to define policies for conservation and quickly locate content that has been archived and secured.
The core of Solix Enterprise Metadata Manager creates a knowledge base by analyzing the environmental center client, which can be completely modular pre-filled tables provided by the data representation Solix file for Oracle E-Business Suite and other applications commercial. For example, Solix enables Oracle customers to see growth rates of various data for all application modules such as general balance or accounts payable. After this initial assessment, clients can determine the classification of specific policies and models to be created to manage information more effectively.
Solix enterprise data archiving solutions include retention for Oracle E-Business Suite PeopleSoft, Oracle, JD Edwards and custom applications. This wide range of support allows transparent retrieval and circulation of information database between all levels of data storage, while ensuring that data can be viewed for consultation or information by applications.
Conclusion:
It became clear that organizations are aware of the importance of archives and adopt the technology of data storage, which not only has many advantages such as reduced costs, safety information, but can also increase your productivity.

What is the maximum number of connections database SQL Server can do?
We are working on an online system. We expect that millions of users simultaneously use this online system. We are currently working on designing the online system. We evaluate two scenarios Scenario 1: To maintain the servers and databases: In this scenario, we will increase the number of servers and databases. The maximum number of connections A database allows is about 65,000. Thus, when the number of users exceeds the number will start to send users to another server so that the system works quickly, without downtime. Scenario 2: For the treatment of the night: In this approach, a process is executed in the night that will create static pages for that high load times when many users are shown sitting static pages and databases used only when necessary. Please comment on what is the best scenario.
It is not easy to choose a solution. We must assess all the requirements of your project. All solutions have advantages and disadvantages - Budget - Downtime - To update the information I havent made a site that has millions of users simultaneously the conditions ..... But probably consider clustering, replication of database Load Balancing
