Zettapoint Inc

Concord, MA 01742
617.832.5400
www.zettapoint.com

Zettapoint delivers database optimization solutions that allow DBAs and IT Teams to plan and implement complex storage subsystems with the industry’s latest technology through a process known as Right-Tieringsm.   Our flagship solution, DBclassify™, provides non-intrusive, unparalleled I/O profiles and usage-based database object classification for optimizing Oracle® database performance and fully exploiting their associated multi-tier storage environments.
Right-Tiering takes into consideration actual, detailed data access and usage characteristics of the workloads serviced by the database, and classifies that data by its usage profile or “temperature.” Only the hottest data classified as mission-critical -- frequently accessed by high value applications and users -- should be stored on Tier 1 or Flash Drive Tier 0. Less frequently accessed but still important “warm” data with less stringent service level requirements is relegated to lower performance, higher capacity storage devices. Dormant “cold” data, typically historical or static, can be marked for archival storage, thereby, reclaiming additional space for continued growth.
