GridwiseTech shares database speedup know-how

Today, GridwiseTech released Effective Manager’s Guide: Database Speedup. It is a comprehensive analysis of the most efficient techniques and methods for speeding up data processing, described with reference to their potential business benefits. It can be downloaded at www.gridwisetech.com/database_speedup.

The “Database Speedup” white paper summarizes GridwiseTech’s six years’ of experience in dealing with application bottlenecks and scalability challenges for its clients. It presents methodologies for improving database performance with detailed commentary on possible approaches, including:

• internal database optimization
• database distribution/clustering
• in-memory databases
• in-memory caching techniques.                                          

Using real world examples, the author explains how to combine these solutions and adjust them to customers’ individual needs.

In Database Speedup, GridwiseTech’s engineers demonstrate how to mitigate limitations on existing technologies or how to use new techniques to extend servers’ capacity and efficiency. In some cases, database performance after optimization can be increased as much as ten-fold. The paper demonstrates that a well implemented IT enhancement project can result in significant savings to a company.
