In June 2013, Edward Snowden triggered the most costly insider security leak in history, forcing organizations to completely rethink how they secure their infrastructure. Join Paul Vallée, founder of Pythian, to learn how he supervises over 200 database and system administrators as they perform work on the some of the world’s most valuable and mission-critical…

Ever wondered why one day your query is performing well and the next it is not? And you know that nothing has changed - or has it? Finding the root cause can be frustrating and sometimes the answers are subjective such as: maybe there are more data or someone must have made a change to…

Original Broadcast: 3.19.2014 Databases only perform as well as the systems they run on. Designing a system to power a true high performance database requires design choices that offer extreme performance, interoperability, availability and specific knowledge of tuning parameters that help streamline the operation of the database. The engineering resources and expertise required to design…

Oracle 12c's multitenant option incorporates new capabilities to support database consolidation, delivering economies of scale in database operations, enabling consolidation of applications in ways that would normally require expensive and error-prone application code changes. See how to make Database as a Service a reality for Oracle environments. Learn how pluggable databases can also simplify provisioning,…

The Cloud Control console simplifies database and system managemenet but sometimes you need to just jump past the GUI and do some heavy lifting. Emcli allows you to exercise OEM functionality at the command line and through shell scripts and scheduled jobs. This session introduces the core concepts, OMS and client installation procedures, and how…

Given a description of gas dynamics and the atmosphere, you would be hard to pressed forecast tornadoes. The term emergence denotes the phenomena of surprising behaviors arising in complex systems. Modern storage systems are complex, and full of emergent behavior that make forecasting application I/O performance fiendishly difficult. In collaboration with Matt Hayward, Adam Leventhal,…

There is increasing pressure to improve system availability to try to provide 5X9 service. This 99.999% availability requirement means a system can only be unavailable 5 minutes and 15 seconds a year! In other words, it needs to stay up. Using Oracle 12c features, we can now keep the system available for end users through…
