Cost-Effective Performance
“The system is so slow today.” How many times have we heard this basic expression of customer discontent? Because of its unique position in the enterprise architecture, the RDBMS is often the culprit, failing to deliver answers as fast as customers request them.
While application servers and web servers can easily be replicated to improve performance, the RDBMS can not. It is the repository of the single copy of record of the data. For very good data quality reasons, the database itself can rarely be replicated, and then only using complex, heavy weight replication technology.
So how do you make an RDBMS run faster? There are basically three ways:
- Tuning
- Upgrade
- WireCache
Tuning an RDBMS is an arcane science. It requires highly skilled professionals, and even they cannot tell you how long it will take, how much it will cost, or what the results will be.
An upgrade is complex, time-consuming, intrusive and expensive. Even an upgrade does not come with an iron-clad guarantee that it will solve the problem
WireCache offers a simple alternative that can reduce response times by a factor of 3-12 times. Delivery, configuration, installation and operation can all be accomplished in less than 30 days. And the WireCache performance is guaranteed up front.
