Consulting Services
Our services are database focused and include inexpensive 4-day assessments moving you down the path to:• Reducing your overall costs. • Achieving high availability and scalability. • Meeting or exceeding your service level
requirements. • Allowing you to put off server and storage
purchase because of better utilization of what you have.
• Enabling server and database consolidations. • Using our data expertise surgically for short
bursts with highly skilled and experienced data professionals.
• Optimally designing and architecting your data to meet your company's needs.
Packaged Services
Using our Performance & Tuning Tools and a proven methodology, we are extending our database-focused services:• Available through a secured connection• Top database experts available as needed using a pool of hours
• Remote Physical Database Design:We have designed and deployed all kinds of systems, from OLTP databases to Decision support systems (Data warehouse, Business Intelligence and OLAP cube technologies). Our intervention quite often involves using advanced techniques such as data replication, clustering, and database mirroring.
• Remote Performance and Tuning:As part of any Performance & Tuning engagement, we use a detailed performance and tuning methodology that has been developed over many years to offer predefined deliverables that maximize the end-result of our customers.Typically, our results include an improvement in database throughput ranging from 100% to 750% as well as a massive reduction in response times.

Strengths:• Designed and developed by the top Database
experts• Highly “Graphic-Oriented” interactive design
drill-down through the graphs!• Easily isolate performance issues in seconds• Optimization strategies can be implemented
and verified• Safe “production” monitoring in real time• Performance counters utilized include OS level
Database Performance Monitoring Tools
Strengths:• Plug-and-play - no change to your IT
architecture• Monitor, Isolate, Drill-down approach• Also runs in off-line mode with easy data
export• Track Record – 10 years of SQL and
Database performance and tuning tools• Log only needed and comprehensive
information (DABs can set up what and when queries are recorded)
• Work on the log files with SQL Shot with the same features and ease as in the live mode.

We are using Database Architechs' Performance and Tuning tools in all our production and test environments. Thanks to these tools we can anticipate and fix any performance issues. Isolating and fixing performance issues is now 16 times faster (down from 2 days to 1 hour). We can also log all the database performance metrics and information to isolate any past performance issue and produce some monthly reports on specific metrics. In addition, Database Architechs Performance and Tuning tools are helping us in identifying users' behavior, anticipating the required tuning to optimize response time.
We are using Database Architechs' Performance and Tuning tools for the following: 1) Monitor applications' response time before moving to production. 2) Isolate poor performing SQL queries, stored procedures, triggers ... on production databases. Thanks to Database Architechs' Performance and Tuning tools we've been able to improve SQL queries performances from few minutes to few seconds. Database Architechs' Performance and Tuning tools has also helped us to isolate performance issues during our database migration process.
I'm using Database Architechs' Performance and Tuning tools since several years. I appreciate very much these tools for real-time database server monitoring. I appreciate particularly: - The GUI, to visualize and isolate any performance issue in seconds. - How easy and fast it is, to install the tools and start monitoring any database server. - The logging feature, to analyze past performance issues. - The batch mode, to log performance metrics automatically based on events.
Clients’ Testimonials
Overall send rate 41 % faster (2005 vs. 2008)Overall restore rate 52% faster (2005 vs. 2008)
Overall availability topology inherits the restore rate ~ 50% more available
Example:• 743 ms Transaction (in 2005 mirroring configuration)• 379 ms Transaction (in 2008 mirroring configuration)
In failover, what would have been 20 seconds before mirror becomes principal turns into
roughly 8-10 seconds (or 3 seconds turns into 1.5 seconds, so on).
Database Mirroring BenchmarkSQL Server 2005 vs. 2008
Overall send rate 26 % faster (2008 Conventional versus SSD)Overall restore rate 17% faster (2008 Conventional versus SSD)
Overall Database mirroring topology garners ~ 20% more availability
Examples:10 min 17 seconds to complete• 4:32:37am 4:43:00am (principal send’s)• 4:32:48 am 4:43:05am (mirror restore’s)
8 min 38 seconds to complete• 3:45:19am 3:53:20am (principal send’s)• 3:45:20am 3:53:20am (mirror restore’s)
100% Transparent (zero DB & Application changes) !
