IBM has made migrating from Oracle to DB2 LUW 9.7 rather easy with significant automation. However, if your Oracle database/application had performance flaws or "opportunities for improvement ", then these, too, will be migrated to DB2 LUW! DBI's newest customer was suffering from an I/O bound database that was migrated from Oracle. We helped this customer avoid a large and unnecessary hardware upgrade expense --- in just a couple of days!!! If you have migrated from Oracle to DB2 LUW, or if you are considering it, please CONTACT DBI BEFORE spending money on hardware!! Don't waste your money! Please look for DBI's new ad in IBM Data Management Magazine. Our ad is on the inside back cover. Look for instructions on how you can get a new white paper "IBM DB2 LUW Critical Performance Measurements " which provides SQL commands and actionable tuning advice! Our #1 Job is helping you look great! Our #2 Job is giving you the documentation to prove it!Contact DBI and find out how our DB2 LUW Performance Solutions can truly help you optimize performance and lower IT costs. |
