Performance Intelligence: BI for Database Performance

Overview Ignite Performance Intelligence™ is a database performance analysis technique that identifies the most important database performance problems and their resolution. Performance Intelligence takes proven business intelligence techniques and applies them to IT performance management. By capturing and analyzing data in a data warehouse, it identifies trends, reveals anomalies and correlates events to expose the true conditions impacting database end users.

Performance Intelligence is different because it allows the DBAs, developers and managers to see the entire "forest", not just the "trees". It gives a perspective based on historical trends, not just at the current point-in-time. And it is all based on the wait time data most important to delivering measurable improvements in application service.

Five key concepts of Performance Intelligence implemented in the Igniter Suite include:

• Multidimensional cube
• Wait time based data analysis
• Continuous data capture
• Historical Trend Reporting
• Data mining
