Performance Intelligence is technology that uses historical trend data to resolve current database performance problems. We have been testing a free download of Ignite 8 from Confio Software. The marketing propaganda says that Ignite uses Performance Intelligence to analyze millions of data points, captured in the Data Warehouse along multiple dimensions, and identify which issues have most impact on the IT end user. They go on to say “Ignite presents the results in a way that leads the user directly to the most critical problems and the correlated evidence showing the root cause.” We are always skeptical of marketing and sales data sheets but so far our observations are positive. We will be using Ignite 8 on some real live problems and get back with you on the results.
We try to stay away from recommending products unless we have done some extensive testing. Stay tuned for future feedback!
