Oracle Database Tuning
After your investment in Oracle, it is important to get the most out of your hardware and software. This is where database tuning can be invaluable.
Before upgrading hardware, it is always a good practice to review your database to ensure it is running at peak efficiency. We can help.
Not only does tuning reduce hardware costs, it also reduces software licensing costs as less cores are required for optimal performance. Database tuning keeps the information moving at the fastest speed possible. We offer expert tuning on Oracle databases with and without partitioning, single instance, and with Real Application Clusters. Our experience includes OLTP databases from 30GB through to several terabytes, with larger sizes for data warehouses.
Specializations
- Tuning your database regardless of size to run as efficiently as possible
- Tuning using a variety of tools and advanced Oracle features, such as partitioning and Oracle SQL's Tuning Advisor
- Optimization of indexes
Oracle Database Partitioning
Large databases can be a challenge to maintain peak efficiency of information retrieval. Faster query results are achieved through Oracle partitioning. With Oracle partitioning, data is divided logically so that information in the database can be quickly accessed as if it resided in a much smaller database. Partitioning can also be used to allow obsolete data to be removed in large portions without the overhead of delete statements.
We offer partitioning for performance and data management through truncation and dropped partitions.
Specializations
- Partitioning for performance
- Partitioning for reports
- Partitioning for truncation
Oracle Database Security
Data security is a necessity in today’s world and the importance of implementing and fine tuning Oracle’s Advanced Security features cannot be overstated.
At Philtam Corporation, we have been working with Oracle’s Advanced Security features for several years to ensure our clients’ databases are fully protected.
Our expert consultants can set up Oracle Fine Grained Auditing (to ensure you know who is doing what in your database), Oracle Transparent Data Encryption (so stolen data cannot be read), Oracle Secure Backup (to ensure your backups are encrypted), Oracle Data Masking & Subsetting (so that sensitive information such as credit cards or social insurance/security numbers can be replaced with realistic values, allowing production data to be safely used for non-production purposes), and Oracle Label Security (allowing data to be categorized and access to be restricted by various levels).
Philtam Corporation also offers custom levels of security through other coding options.
Oracle Database Backup & Recovery
You have valuable data in your database that is essential for your business. Backup is the most important part of administering a database and the most overlooked because DBAs are constantly challenged to do more in less time.
At Philtam, we understand the importance of your data and take this responsibility very seriously. We know that you have spent years building your data to gain a competitive advantage for your company and any loss is unacceptable. We regularly check backups to ensure that we can recover your database. We not only look at scripts and log files, but also perform the recovery on your test servers to ensure that, in the event you lose your data on your server, it can be immediately restored. We create appropriate schedules for your backups, write backup scripts, and determine the optimum retention time to help you adhere to regulatory and business requirements.
Specializations
- RMAN backup and recovery scripts
- Data pump exports
Oracle Database Disaster Recovery
We all hope that disaster recovery will be unnecessary, but we also know that the unexpected can happen. Natural disasters, fires, or sabotage can cripple a business’s IT department. This is where a disaster recovery plan is critical.
Philtam Corporation will help you create and implement a disaster recovery plan for your company’s Oracle databases so that your business can continue seamlessly with its operations in the event of a crisis. We will put a plan in place that allows you to be up and running in minutes using standby databases or other proven and secure technology. We will help ensure that your data is always available when you need it.
Specializations
- DR plans and implementations
