                  future updates to existing records, just to name a few of its
                  capabilities
                    
                 
                - Allows rapid "what-if" scenarios for the tuning

            Rdb Controller provides the necessary tuning and
            impact analysis functions to improve your end-user response times
            and maximize your application availability. 
            Rdb Controller performs many  actions to improve
            application performance and availability. This includes tuning
            entire or partial databases, re-sizing individual storage areas,
            sizing indexes, recommending index conversions, and balancing I/O to
            ensure your applications provide optimal end-user response times and
            maximum availability for your business functions.
            
            Extensive Tuning Capabilities
            Typically improving application performance levels by up to 60%,  Rdb
            Controller provides you with tuning capabilities for your database
            applications and the supporting database structure. This ensures
            that you quickly resolve the most common problems with application
            performance and availability to minimize end-user impact.
            Rdb Controller  provides comprehensive database tuning, including
            full or partial tuning capabilities, I/O tuning, and even provides a
            post-tuning analysis, so you can view the results of your efforts.
            Only  Rdb Controller  provides this much functionality to improve
            performance.
            Pre-Tuning Parameters
            To ensure results are defined and predictable,  Rdb Controller
            enables you to completely control your database tuning process. By
            adjusting multiple parameters, customizing improvements to your
            specific applications, and reviewing the results before they are
            implemented, you can ensure the results are tailored to your
            specific environment. Input can also be obtained from direct usage
            measurements of YOUR database by using our DBXact 
            tool which  helps to take the "guesswork" out of the
            tuning process. 
            In-Depth User Analysis
            
            Rdb Controller analyzes application use by "drilling down"
            to specific storage areas, tables, and indexes. You can view
            detailed information and analysis on every active user of the
            application and view information on their and system resource
            consumption. 
            Post-Tuning Analysis
            Upon the completion of tuning your supporting databases,  Rdb
            Controller enables you to re view your overall results and
            improvements. You can view information on storage areas, extents,
            records, and blocks, so you can quickly and effectively identify the
            improvements you have made to your application and database
            structure. No other tuning product provides this level of
            functionality. You can also use our analysis tool DBAnalyzer
            to create a "post-tune" analysis to gain additional
            information. 
            Proactive Database Tuning
            
            Rdb Controller will tune the entire physical structure of your
            application's database (storage areas, tables, indexes, and records)
            or simply tune a few tablespaces that require immediate tuning. This
            includes generating all the necessary tuning scripts, reviewing
            multiple pre-tuning parameters (growth, extent allocations, etc.),
            tuning the entire database, placing the correct storage areas on the
            appropriate disks, and more to ensure maximum application
            performance levels.
            Rdb Controller helps you plan for the growth levels of your
            databases so you are not continuously reorganizing various storage
            areas.  Rdb Controller  analyzes your current application activity and
            determines the optimal amount of extent allocations, to ensure your
            supporting databases are healthy for months. This reduces
            maintenance requirements and ensures your databases are available
            when your users need them.
            I/O Tuning
            
            Rdb Controller  will also distribute your application's database
            optimally across your available disks, to ensure your users have the
            quickest access to their information. This will improve your
            application response times and enable you to meet your service level
            objectives.
