VMware Converter Helps Increase Oracle Performance

You can take great strides toward simplifying your IT infrastructure by converting physical machines to a virtual environment. Meet the increased demands and sophistication of your customers with a physical to virtual (P2V) conversion of your server environment. You can achieve both increased Oracle performance and lowest cost of ownership through virtualization, which will result in decreased capital expenditures on hardware purchases and maintenance.

 The best choice for performing your P2V conversion is VMware Converter, the industry-leading choice for moving database servers to virtual environments.

 With VMware Converter you can:

-           Convert Microsoft Windows and Linux-based physical machines to VMware

-           Migrate most other virtual machine formats like Microsoft Hyper-V, Microsoft Virtual PC and Microsoft Virtual Server or backup images of physical machines such as Symantec Backup Exec System Recovery or Norton Ghost

-           Perform simultaneous conversions of multiple machines

 Virtualization and Oracle Performance

Making the choice to migrate your Oracle databases to virtual servers is no small decision for your IT organization. You need to ensure the success of that transition with Oracle performance monitoring software that is up to the challenge of managing dynamic virtual environments.

You will need monitoring software that:

-           Accelerate cost-savings realized from moving to Oracle VMware

-           Detect and avoid service interruptions created by unseen server/Oracle interactions

-           Monitor and link physical machine performance to multiple layers of the virtual server environment

 The biggest performance issue associated with virtual environments are the I/O and CPU bottlenecks that occur. Even though this issue is common, it is often overlooked because system resources are commonly unmonitored on virtual layers. Properly integrated Oracle performance monitoring software will measure I/O and CPU/memory response times on physical machines and correlate them to the virtual layers, providing an accurate picture of where performance bottlenecks are occurring.

 Virtual Oracle performance can only be truly measured when DBAs have visibility into the virtual server layer. DBAs are then free to accurately measure Oracle VMware statistics without having to gain access through VMware administrators.

 A useful Oracle performance monitoring solution enables DBAs to successfully monitor the constantly changing resource allocations of virtual machines. You will then be able to fully capture all of the benefits and cost savings of a P2V conversion of your IT infrastructure.
