| 3:15-4:15 | Presentation: 8 Years of UDB Performance Solutions: Life Lessons from the Field (continued) Presented by Scott Hayes, Database-Brothers Inc. Abstract |
Eight years of crisis and fine tuning DB2 UDB and its applications (SAP, Siebel, PeopleSoft, Lawson, Websphere, and I2 to name a few) have yielded many valuable life lessons and performance tuning solutions.
This session is loaded with practical, technical, and usable lessons for achieving dramatic and measurable performance improvements on any DB2 UDB Multi-Platform database, with emphasis on V8.1 and V8.2+. Attendees will hear anecdotes and stories from actual customer situations and learn the physical design and/or configuration solutions that provided remarkable performance results, and will also take home a checklist to verify performance integrity in their own shops. Loaded with laughter and practical wisdom for all DBAs at all experience levels, this session is keynote material - not to be missed by anyone who loves DB2 and takes performance seriously.
About the Speaker - Scott Hayes, Database-Brothers Inc.
Scott Hayes is a well known DB2 UDB performance expert. He is a regular speaker at International DB2 User Group conferences, IBM DB2/Data Management conferences, and is frequently sought as a guest speaker for regional DB2 user group meetings. Scott has authored several published articles on DB2 UDB performance, is an IBM DB2 GOLD Consultant (an elite, exclusive group of IBM recognized top DB2 advocates), has obtained Advanced IBM DB2 Certifications, and is widely regarded by the worldwide DB2 community as the top performance expert for DB2 on distributed (UNIX, Linux, and Windows) platforms. Scott graduated from SUNY Geneseo with a Management Science Major and Computer Science Minor, and - as he was recently reminded during a conference presentation - he is, not was, an Eagle Scout.
Scott started Database-GUYS Inc (DGI) in May of 1998 as a DB2 UDB performance consulting company. As clients quickly embraced his methods, metrics, techniques, teachings, and tools, DGI was transformed into a software company providing best of breed tools (Wise-GUY™, Space-GUY™, Pool-GUY™, SQL-GUY™, Connection-MINER™, and Flight Deck for DB2 UDB - now owned by BMC Software) and consulting services for DB2 UDB. This company was sold to BMC Software on June 20, 2003.
During his two year tenure at BMC Software, Scott was Director of Product Marketing and continued to provide field consulting services, training, education, and sales assistance for BMC customers. Scott also contributed ideas to the BMC Software development team to ensure that SmartDBA® for DB2 UDB had valuable features and functions.
In July 2005, Scott started Database-Brothers Inc (DBI) to enable him to optimally serve the DB2 UDB and Oracle database communities with deeply focused attention. And, as he'll tell you at conferences, he likes signing his own expense reports too.
