Oracle Database Health Check

Database servers are more critical than ever. Your data platform powers day-to-day operations, delivers valuable insights, and provides a competitive advantage.

Our Oracle Database Health Check is designed to assess the performance, stability, and availability of your Oracle-based systems. The goal is to identify and address potential issues before they occur or escalate into major problems. The analysis can focus on performance, capacity planning, configuration issues, or specific areas of concern.

Our objective is to help your business prevent downtime and maintain consistent, predictable performance across your database servers.

Capacity Planning Health Check

Capacity Planning is the process of determining the hardware and software configuration required to meet your application demands.

The capacity module identifies what your system needs, and when it needs it, to maintain performance during both steady-state and peak usage periods, while also accounting for your data growth patterns.

Build Your Own Module

Our modules are designed as turnkey solutions, but if they don’t meet your specific needs, you can work with us to create a customized module. Every environment is unique, so for optimal results, your Health Check should be tailored to your systems.

We’re happy to select individual health check items and build them into a module customized specifically for your environment.

Making the most of your investment...

Database servers represent a major investment for most organizations, so getting the most value from that investment is critical. We help ensure your systems are performing at their best by measuring the efficiency of your database servers—essentially, determining whether they’re running at full capacity.

System efficiency takes into account factors such as:

  • Is the database and operating system properly tuned?
  • Are there sufficient hardware resources for the various applications?
  • Is your high availability and DR working and fit for purpose?
  • Have the proper indexes been created?
  • Are critical administrative utilities run regularly?
  • Is there adequate support and documentation of the system?
In a complex computing environment, how these and other factors are managed directly impacts the overall efficiency and effectiveness of your systems. The Oracle Database Health Check tackles these challenges by having an experienced Oracle engineer evaluate your Oracle-based environment.

Each report clearly presents our findings to you and details:

  • The criticality of the problem
  • What the problem is and why it is an issue
  • Next steps & recommendations to take to resolve the problem
DSP-Eclipsys are deeply invested in the well-being of our clients, and as such, we have designed these module options to align with the most common issues seen by our customers. Our simple targeted health check helps our clients tailor their package to any specific issue(s) they wish to address.

Step 1 – Speak to us

Tell us what type of problems your company are experiencing. Do any of the below sound familiar?

  • Application freezes during peak trading hours
  • Are you experiencing bad performance after an upgrade?
  • Exponential database growth, but you can’t understand why
  • Concerned that you’re backup and recovery options are no longer fit for purpose
  • Need to certify that your database follows best practices

Step 2 – Choose your modules

If the above sounds familiar, we’ll ensure the modules you choose address the problems you need fixing.

  • Application freezes during peak trading hours (Performance module)
  • Exponential database growth, but you can’t understand why (Capacity Module)
  • Need to certify that your database follows best practices (General Health Check)

Step 3 – Engage and Report

We will engage to complete the Health Check, before presenting back to you a clear comprehensive report that breaking down all our findings. Any problems will be identified and sorted by:

  • Criticality of issue
  • Reasons why we have identified the problem
  • Steps to take to resolve the issue

Step 4 – Make recommended changes

This is where the rubber hits the road and we can start really improving your system. Our report will provide you the blue prints; it's then up to you to either engage us to complete the recommendations or complete them yourself.

Step 5 – Review Improvements

DSP can provide a continuous service where we come back to review the improvements that were made, and perform a refresh of the health check to measure the performance & stability improvements.

That way you know your Health Check was a success, and you can even plan ahead to proactively identify areas that may in future be at risk
