This paper summarizes the results of two performance evaluations where EMC DatabaseXtender was used in Oracle application environments to address overburdened production databases. The test environments included a multi-national manufacturing firm and a large telco firm—each running Oracle E-Business Suite.

These enterprises used DatabaseXtender for intelligent policy-based data movement from their production databases across tiered storage environments—circumventing the need for upgraded hardware or additional storage. The paper reports performance improvements in logical I/O, CPU time, and wall-clock time.
