Ignite™ for Oracle Performance
Confio Software is revolutionizing the way enterprises monitor, analyze and optimize their databases and applications. Developed for Oracle DBA?s, managers and developers, Confio's Ignite for Oracle performance solution enables organizations to optimize service levels for IT end-users and reduce total cost of operating infrastructure.
Actionable Data At An SQL Statement Level
Confio Ignite for Oracle performance tool offers DBAs unparalleled insight into the true sources of Oracle database performance issues that affect IT systems and customer service levels. Unlike other Oracle performance management solutions that take a snapshot of a single session at one point in time, Ignite for Oracle shows all sessions all of the time, monitoring databases from a single repository on a 24/7 basis. Analysis is based on Wait-time methodology so problems can be isolated to specific SQL statements, which provide the deepest and most actionable level of performance detail. Performance impacts can also be investigated without needing to re-create the problem. DBAs can access trend reports spanning weeks, months or years to conclusively demonstrate performance changes, improvements, and impacts of new applications.
Precise Problem Origination
Ignite for Oracle performance management provides a level of visibility into Oracle performance problems that eliminates vagueness and ambiguity regarding the root cause and owner of inefficiencies. Oracle performance issues can be traced to a departmental level so the appropriate owners can be engaged, such as the application owners, developers, DBAs, system and network admins, consultants or outside vendors.
Optimized customized impact
Unlike traditional Oracle performance management tools that focus only on internal IT impact, Ignite for Oracle?s proactive monitoring is designed to optimize the impact on the customer experience, the most relevant goal of performance analysis. Custom alerts and notifications empower DBA?s to quickly address mission-critical problems and minimize or eliminate customer impact.
Confio Ignite for Oracle's Wait-Time approach to analysis measures the time spent waiting on each Oracle resource, illuminating causes of database and SQL statement delays. By isolating bottlenecks inside the statement layer, improvements can be quickly identified and addressed. Impacts can be tracked over time to gauge effectiveness of modifications.
Agentless Operation
Ignite for Oracle performance management requires no installed software on the production server so performance tool contributes no load or process burden on the server.

Bigger Monitor, Same Space
I could have an EIGHT-foot monitor, and I still wouldn't have anywhere to fit my MSN Messenger window!
zabbix - 1.4
ZABBIX offers functionality that will make your IT resources look more transparent, and it will also help to easily identify performance and availability problems. ZABBIX greatly increases the productivity of system administrators by providing simple-to-use monitoring system.
IT Services
ZABBIX's unique technology allows you to relate your applications and underlying servers or network to a IT Service such as application, location, server, network device, region, etc. This technology allows you to correlate your business to your IT infrastructure and identify the impact of your IT infrastructure to the delivery of business service to your customers.
Data visualisation
ZABBIX provides excellent visualisation of statistical and real-time information, ranging from simple graphs to complex views containing graphs, maps and text information. All graphical information is accessible from WEB interface. The wealth of information available such as the trend analysis (days to threshold), the historical graphs and histograms allow you to make informed decisions about the weaknesses and performance of your IT infrastructure.
Application monitoring
Enterprise applications such as Oracle, WebSphere, WebLogic, Exchange, Apache, etc. can be monitored using SNMP. In many cases, agentless technology can be used, cutting down on the deployment and management costs.
ZABBIX agents can be easily extended to perform monitoring of any aspect of your applications. It is matter of writing a shell script which would return required data back to the agent.
Server monitoring
Virtually all server platforms are supported including but not limited to UNIX, Win32 and Novell Netware. ZABBIX native agents take care of CPU utilisation, memory utilisation, disk usage, network I/O, temperature of CPUs and mainboards, status of processes, etc. All real-time performance data is immediately available by WEB interface.
Network monitoring
ZABBIX supports monitoring of Cisco, Juniper, 3Com, Nortel, Foundry and other routers as well as firewalls from Netscreen, Fortinet, Cisco or Checkpoint. Any network devices (routers, hubs, printers, etc) having SNMP support can be easily monitored by ZABBIX.
ZABBIX makes possible creation of network maps which give very clear representation of monitored network infrastructure. The maps show network devices, connections, statuses of the devices, and reasons if a device is not available or has any problems.
Integration of Fault and Performance Management
The need to effectively integrate fault and performance management is becoming increasingly apparent to IT organizations seeking to ensure quality delivery of business services. ZABBIX generates real-time notification of threshold violations based on scheduled performance tests.

Tam Tam Knowledge Browser
Tam Tam Knowledge Browser is Twiki on SharePoint Portal Server .
The Knowledge Browser is a customized knowledge base for SharePoint Portal Server 2003 that accommodates high-level navigating through a large collection of information by means of metadata.
One of the major advantages of SharePoint is that you can store various kinds of information (documents, lists, links and discussions) and establish relevant properties (metadata) to describe these information items for future retrieval. Unfortunately, the user interface of SharePoint 2003 doesn't make much use of this metadata yet for high-level navigation. Metadata is mainly used in the search function and on the lowest navigation level (inside a list or document library).

KPI’s in Microsoft Office SharePoint Server 2007
Key Performance Indicators (KPI’s) are metrics used to quantify objectives to reflect an organization's strategic performance. See the article at http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Key_performance_indicators for more information about KPIs.
Microsoft Office SharePoint Server 2007 has built in features that allow you to manage and display KPI information in various ways. KPI indicators can be derived from a SharePoint list, an Excel Workbook, data in Microsoft SQL Server 2005 Analysis Services and manually entered information. I'm going to show you how to create a KPI list and manually populate it with data.
Lets create a Sales Analysis KPI list and see what results can be displayed. To get started, choose a site that's currently not in production use, such as a private sub-site.

If you have an apple and I have an apple and we exchange apples, then you and I will still each have one apple. But if you have an idea and I have an idea and we exchange these ideas, then each of us will have two ideas.
