Installation and

and configuration options. Some of these configuration

with the client's staff to migrate existing applications
or data to other major database vendors such as from
MS SQL Server or IBM DB2 to an Oracle platform, or

type conversions and database settings as well as,
among other things, implementing the appropriate database
and tablespace configurations.
Performance
Audits & Tuning
Cylogy's performance enhancement services focus on
maximizing the efficiency of your existing hardware
and software resources.

of your database systems and the applications that
run against them. We evaluate your storage infrastructure,
database structures, application utilization patterns,
memory sizing and consumption, and carefully examine
your use of database indicies and the appropriateness
of your index types.
Once we've carried out a full analysis, we work with
your system administrators, DBA's, and developers
to come to a cost effective and expedient performance
enhancing solution. Additionally we offer customized
training session for your DBA and/or development staff,
focusing on proper index tuning, SQL evaluation, and
SQL tuning techniques.
Disaster Readiness Audits
After working with a number Fortune
100 in "down database" situations Cylogy
staff have come to appreciate the severe financial
and personal impacts such a scenario can directly
create. With a background of performing numerous such
database recoveries, we have developed a critical
eye for weaknesses and/or missing links in the typical
back-up and recovery approaches. We apply this perspective
and over 6 years of intense fire-fighting experience
towards analyzing your configurations, assumptions,
and plans.
Once our analysis is complete, we deliver a written
statement of findings and thoughtful recommendation
for addressing each client's unique needs.
Back-up & Recovery
The Back-up and Recovery Service entails one or more
Cylogy consultants working either onsite or remotely
to implement an enterprise quality and Oracle recommended
procedure for ensuring that, in the event of a catastrophe,
your data can be quickly, safely, and fully recovered.
Cylogy first reviews exactly how the database is being
used by existing applications and how it might be
used by future applications. Analysis of existing
IT resources and backup strategies is undertaken next.
Once all relevant information has been collected,
Cylogy will design and implement a custom-tailored,
multi-tiered Oracle Backup and Recovery strategy.
Finally, before calling the job complete, Cylogy performs
rigorous failure and recovery testing, ensuring that
all implemented recovery processes in fact hold up
under actual failure scenarios.
It is suggested that the customer contract with Cylogy
on a semi-annual basis so that the backup solution
can be reviewed and tested for continued efficacy.
