Webcast #4: “Goal! Success through Storage Tuning”

Years ago when storage systems were simply a bank of drives, DBAs had to give a lot of thought to how data was written to disk. But with the widespread adoption of RAID arrays—and now with automated storage management (ASM)—DBAs largely focus their attention elsewhere. However, storage can have a significant impact on database performance. Find out how to add this important dimension to your game by viewing this webcast.

Learn how to:

• Find the optimal block size
• Match striping parameters to I/O
• Fix fragmented indexes
• Partition data to improve performance
• Understand the underlying structure of ASM
