Precise for Storage Tiering
Precise for Storage Tiering helps customers optimize storage for both cost and performance.  Precise tracks the path of transactions from end-to-end, storing both the business context and performance details from each tier to the Performance Management Database (PMDB™).  By correlating these requests with the files, devices, or disks being accessed, Precise enables:

• Transaction Performance Management (TPM) — Precise TPM detects performance or contention problems anywhere in the transaction. Detailed diagnostics from every tier pinpoint root cause to accelerate resolution.
• Business storage tiering for EMC storage arrays — The Storage Tiering Simulator feeds PMDB data into models of EMC performance. This allows you to predict the impact data migration to different EMC storage tiers (SATA or EFDs) would have on business transaction performance.

DBclassify™
Zettapoint delivers database optimization solutions that reduce the total cost of ownership (TCO) of database storage subsystems while enhancing business application performance. Zettapoint’s DBclassify™ provides usage-based classification for optimizing Oracle® databases and their associated multi-tier storage environments through a process known as “Right-Tiering”.

DBclassify is ideal for IT organizations facing management, performance, and budgetary challenges associated with ever-growing and increasingly complex Oracle database environments.

DBclassify and EMC Enterprise Flash Drives (EFDs) provide customers with the ability to accurately and confidently apply Right-Tiering to their valuable database assets, resulting in optimized database object placement, peak performance, and acceptable price.
