Why need Performance Tuning

It is the most effective way to reduce your IT operating costs by maximizing the processing efficiency of your existing resources.

From the end user point of view, the technology is merely an enabler of a business process and all that matters is the availability, performance and functionality of the application.

In general, fire-fighting is a standard support approach. This kind of reactive support will cause significant impact on the efficiency of an IT organization because support is an isolated function instead of an integrated process.

To control this reactivity, we need an efficient and effective problem management that could provide early problem identification, fast problem solving and automation of manually intensive processes.

As a matter of fact, the more you know the way your system processes your data, the greater your ability to tune your system, targeting high cost areas. It is frequently seen that a system design caters for the majority of data profiles, but the 10% that it handles in a clumsy fashion is costing 90% of the system resources.

It is only by the use of performance tuning probes in batch jobs or detailed analysis of online transactions that you can fully understand where this type of processing is occurring. This new knowledge also brings with it new ideas that can be tested against captured statistics to test their feasibility before implementation. Immediately, you have a target that you can aim for in the production environment.
