Lou: Please consider DBVision from PLATINUM technology, inc. DBVision provides 7x24 monitoring of Informix performance with configurable alarming, notification, and automatic problem resolution. DBVision allows administrators the ability to monitor an unlimited number of databases anywhere on the enterprise network from a single workstation. Built-in knowledge makes it possible to predict most of the problems that are commonly experienced by Informix users and to correct them before service is interrupted. An online advisor function gives DBAs detailed recommendations for maintenance and tuning operations based on analysis of performance over time. The routine effort required to manage databases is greatly reduced while reliability and performance are dramatically improved. There are five dimensions to the strategic impact of DBVision in an Informix-dependent operation: 1. Enabling of remote DBA operation 2. Enabling of 7 x 24 support 3. Quantifiable improvement in DBA effectiveness 4. Quantifiable acceleration of DBA apprenticeship 5. Quantifiable improvement in reliability and performance of Informix-based applications Cheers, Craig S. Mullins PLATINUM technology, inc.
