DBI's Shameless Marketing Moment
During today's quick commercial break, DBI demonstrated Brother-Panther® and showed how easy it is to obtain historical performance trend charts. JB discussed Concurrent I/O, and DBI showed how tablespace I/O times can be graphed over time to verify and validate performance benefit or degradation from using Concurrent I/O. Brother-Panther has the ability to graph database trends, partition trends, bufferpool trends, tablespace trends, table trends, and even trends for individual unique SQL statements!
