Database Health Check
Stay Ahead with Db2
As IBM continues to enhance the features and capabilities of Db2 for z/OS and Db2 for LUW, many organisations struggle to stay current with best practices while maximising the benefits of Db2. Rising hardware and software costs, increased demands for 24/7 operations, and pressure to reduce resource consumption add to the complexity.
Triton’s Database Health Check offers a solution by providing a comprehensive, structured review of your Db2 environment. This service identifies potential areas for improvement, ensuring your systems are optimised for performance, resilience, and efficiency.
Our Database Health Check includes various individual checks to thoroughly evaluate your Db2 environment. Regularly repeating this process allows you to quickly identify issues and ensure that your systems consistently operate at peak performance.
Optimise Your Db2 Environment
Following a comprehensive assessment, Triton’s Database Health Check delivers a detailed technical report produced by our expert consultants. Our report identifies opportunities to reduce costs, enhance efficiency, and maximise the uptime of your database.
Triton’s Database Health Check includes the following areas of focus:
Database Server Capacity: Evaluate current and future workload demands on CPU, RAM, and storage of the database server to recommend appropriate upgrades or adjustments.
Database Software: Assess the installed Db2 version and applied Fixpaks to ensure it meets current standards and includes necessary maintenance updates.
Instance & Database Configuration: Review and optimise configuration parameters for Db2 instances and databases to enhance performance and ensure data recoverability.
Housekeeping: Evaluate data organisation and system catalog statistics maintenance to optimise data access performance and overall application efficiency.
Backup & Recovery: Ensure appropriate database-level backup and recovery procedures are implemented to enable the business to quickly recover from system failures.
Data Placement: Analyse and potentially optimise the placement of user tables and indexes to enhance performance, in coordination with bufferpool configuration.
Performance Monitoring: Configure Db2 monitoring tools for proactive and reactive monitoring to improve application availability and performance.
Logging Configuration: Review and optimise logging settings to maintain data integrity and facilitate efficient data recovery in Db2.
Bufferpool Configuration: Assess and adjust bufferpool settings to optimise caching of frequently accessed data in memory, crucial for improving overall application performance.
"“We recently engaged Triton Consulting to carry out a comprehensive Health Check of our trading platform which had been developed 18 months earlier using Linux on a Db2 database. The work was completed in an extremely professional manner and a set of findings and recommendations were clearly set out in a comprehensive report.
Since then, we've engaged Triton on several occasions and have been delighted by their responsiveness and by the quality of the advice and guidance that they've provided. We're planning to add major additional functionality to our trading platform in the not too distant future and expect Triton to play a significant role in the design, implementation and ongoing support.”"
