Since there is some interest in this newsgroup on topics related to performance, I decided to post info introducing our Dbsizr product. You can get more info from our web page (http://www.technovations.com) and associated links. You can also take DbSizr for a spin by downloading a free eval copy from our web page. Feel free to send me any comments and questions. -- Ramsesh Kalkunte Technovations International Inc. http://www.technovations.com ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- Performance Analysis/Load Testing Frameworks for Lotus Notes, Web and Database Applications ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- Introducing Technovations' DbSizr .. Performance Analysis/Synthesis Framework for Relational Databases DbSizr (Db-Sizer) can help you - Get a visual understanding of performance issues interactively (as test executes). - Measure performance and scalability of customers' database server/application. - Measure reliability and security of customers' servers under load. - Load customers' database server up with hundreds of users using a single PC. - Develop custom benchmarks using customers' own Application/Database logs. - Get coarse/fine grain timing data on every query made by every user. - Document test results using the Report Writer facility. Other DbSizr features: - Is easy to use (there is literally very little to learn) - Produces reproducible results - provides flexibility of scripting, which allows you to even benchmark stored procedures. - works against any hardware platform, any OS (UNIX, NT, others) and any leading relational database platform (SYBASE, ORACLE, SQLServer, INFORMIX, etc) DbSizr Usage scenarios: - Database Performance Trouble-shooting - Acceptance/Load/Regression Testing and QA of Database applicatons - Database Tuning DbSizr Usage Demographics: -Performance Analysts - who are trying to benchmark an application/server -DBAs - who need to understand performance issues and effects of tuning variables -System Architects - who need to deploy a new application into production -Application developers and QA Engineers - who need to performance engineer their application or test the application under load. DbSizr is part of a new generation of benchmarking tools that Technovations has introduced over the last few months. Technovations was founded (in 1995) by engineers who originally worked on notable industry standard performance benchmarks (SPEC and TPC). Technovations also produces frameworks to analyze and synthesize performance issues relating to Web and Lotus Notes applications. Each of our tools are tailored for the target test environments and we can also develop/supply scripts which can be used to do standard benchmarking through our professional services organization.
