How long will it take to install?

Get started in 5 minutes

DBTuna is easy to use and you can deploy it immediately. It does not required any agents to be installed on the monitored database server and in fact does not require any additional database objects. Everything resides on the machine running DBTuna, which is all contained in a small easy to install package.

A single installation of DBTuna can be used to monitor any number of MySQL, SQL Server, Sybase ASE and Oracle database instances, as well as any NetApp Filer.

Find root cause in 15 minutes

In a matter of minutes you can:
  • Find out who or what is consuming resources on your database server
  • Find which SQL Statement or Stored Procedures are showing slow response time
  • Uncover detailed performance data on your NetApp storage

Is the trial version fully functional?

Yes! The trial version is the same as the commercial version, with the exception that it is time limitted.

N.B. A single installation of DBTuna can be used to monitor any number of MySQL, SQL Server, Sybase ASE and Oracle database instances, as well as any NetApp Filer.

You can monitor as many different platforms as you like during the trial period!

Which Platforms does DBTuna Support?

The DBTuna software itself can run on either Windows (XP or later) or Linux (Any version including 32bit and 64bit). All pre-requisites are contained within the DBTuna package therefore you do not have to install any additional components.

To try out the software you can run it on a desktop machine or laptop, but for an enterprise deployment we recommend installing on a central dedicated server.

DBTuna does not require any software to be installed on the monitored platforms which means that it can monitor databases running on ANY Hardware or OS.

How Long does the trial last?

Once you complete the download form, you will receive an email containing a license key valid for 7 days.

The License key starts as soon as you fill out the form.

DBTuna is a very powerful product, and many people solve big problems just within the trial period. If you do need longer to fully evaluate the product though, just get in touch and we will arrange an extended key.

At the end of your trial period, the DBTuna collector will stop monitoring, but you can still view the historical data in the Web Based User Interface.

1

Low Overhead Production Safe Monitoring

DBTuna typically consumes less than 1% of CPU when monitoring 24x7, therefore you can be assured that it will never impact your busy production databases.
2

Simplicity - Get to the root cause fast

The DBTuna user interface is simple to use, and quickly focusses the user on where and when issues are ocurring and what the root cause of the problem is.
3

Granularity of Data

DBTuna is able to collect the fine grain data which is essential to locating the root cause of many of today's types of application performance problems which are often short and sporadic, but costly to the business.
4

Remote Monitoring Architecture

As DBTuna will monitor performance remotely via standard secure API's, there is no need to deploy any agents or make any changes, to the monitored database platforms.
5

Value to all levels of IT

DBTuna has value throughout the application lifecycle from development to production. It is a tool which can be used by development, QA, operational support as well as the DBA team.
6

Highly Scalable Solution

DBTuna monitors some of the worlds busiest databases without impact; and the low overhead, agentless technology means that you can monitor many databases all from a central server.
7

Big Value in QA/Load Testing

DBTuna has the features required to facilitate load testing procedures. As well as having the detailed, granular data required to investigate scalability issues, it also has reports which can compare two test runs and highlight the differences between them. Using DBTuna in pre-production saves time and effort and drastically reduces the risk of introducing new code to production.
8

Support for MySQL, SQL Server, Sybase ASE and Oracle from a central installation

DBTuna is the only product which supports monitoring of MySQL, SQL Server and Oracle all from a single installation. Information collected from the 3 supported platforms is presented exactly the same way in the DBTuna GUI, which means that a user who learns to use DBTuna on Oracle can then transfer their skills to investigate SQL Server or MySQL performance.
9

100% Web Based User Interface

DBTuna is 100% web based, which means there is no need to deploy client software to the users desktop machines. Also, information can easily be passed throughout the organisation by sending in-context URL bookmarks.
10

Low Cost and Rapid ROI

DBTuna is priced much lower than traditional Enterprise Database Performance Management solutions. As a result, clients gain a simplified sales process, quick time to deployment and an ROI that can be realized well within the first year of deployment.
