  • Patent number: 11157664
    Abstract: A method of modeling a prospective database migration between database systems may include collecting performance data associated with a plurality databases in a first database system. The method may also include receiving a selection of a set of databases in the plurality of databases to migrate to a second database system. The method may additionally include computing, using at least some of the performance data, combined performance data that estimates how the set of databases will perform on the second database system. The method may further include providing one or more indications as to whether the set of databases should be migrated to the second database system. In some embodiments, the one or more indications may be based on the combined performance data.

  • Patent number: 10691654
    Abstract: A method of migrating data from one or more source databases to one or more target databases may include generating a pre-migration analysis for a plurality of objects stored in the one or more source databases, and generating a plurality of migration scripts that transfer the plurality of objects from the one or more source databases to the one or more target databases. The method may also include generating a migration plan that defines an execution order for the plurality of migration scripts, and migrating the plurality of objects from the one or more source databases to one or more target databases according to the migration plan. The method may further include validating the plurality of objects on the one or more target databases.

  • Patent number: 9762461
    Abstract: Embodiments of the invention provide systems and methods for providing services related to managing computer systems. More specifically, embodiments of the present invention provide for providing performance tuning and benchmarking services to remote computer systems. Generally speaking, the service can provide functions to help customers maintain a consistent performance of their databases with minimal downtime by pro-actively addressing issues or bottlenecks with periodic assessments, monitoring of performance metrics that are causing stress throughout the term of the service, reporting violations of agreed upon thresholds for performance, and reactively helping customers address performance issues that arise with reactive tuning.

  • Patent number: 6181412
    Abstract: The invention relates to an incoherent Doppler laser detection and ranging system of the Lidar type comprising an emission laser and a receiver device including at least one telescope, an edge filter, and processor means responsive to the power PT transmitted by the filter. The processor means has data inputs relating to the power PT and to the power PR and outputs a normalized signal &Dgr;PN, where: Δ ⁢   ⁢ P N = P T - P R P T + P R PR designating the power reflected by the edge filter.
