The FASTEST way to find and fix Oracle performance bottlenecksSpotlight® on OracleYour hardware budget might not be growing, but your data volume sure is. And today's economic environment puts IT cost savings front and center. What can a DBA do? Save time detecting and diagnosing performance issues in your Oracle database environment quickly to reduce downtime and IT costs.
Spotlight on Oracle enables real-time diagnostics, providing the fastest way to find and fix performance bottlenecks in Oracle and Oracle RAC database environments. Show your boss the improvements you can make to managing performance issues and the corresponding ROI with Spotlight on Oracle. Key Benefits - Eliminate guesswork in identifying and fixing issues in the Oracle database
- Instant visual comprehension, via an intuitive GUI, of performance bottlenecks for quick time to resolution
- Prevent or minimize unplanned downtime of the database
- Full diagnostic capabilities whether at the node, cluster or interconnect level for Oracle Real Application Cluster (RAC) environments
 Spotlight on Oracle includes a comprehensive home page which displays all critical database components at a glance for easy detection of bottlenecks and quick diagnosis. |  Spotlight on Oracle with RAC Diagnostics graphically represents your RAC cluster displaying the essential components including: individual nodes, the interconnect, the IO subsystem and the flows between all of these components. |
See which Spotlight on Oracle Edition is right for you:- Spotlight on Oracle Standard Edition
Identify and diagnose thousands of performance issues—whether it’s a specific user, resource-intensive SQL transaction, I/O bottleneck, lock wait or other exact source. Automatically set baselines, thresholds and display alerts. (RAC option available). - Spotlight on Oracle Professional Edition
Get all of the Standard Edition’s capabilities plus: OS diagnostics to quickly correct performance problems in Linux, Unix and Windows; and a new feature called "predictive diagnostics" which goes beyond detecting and diagnosing immediate performance problems to anticipating future performance issues before they impact the database. (RAC option available). - Spotlight on Oracle Xpert Edition
Get all of the capabilities from the Standard and Professional Editions, plus: automated SQL tuning to maximize SQL performance; and diagnostics for Oracle RAC (Real Application Cluster) environments detecting performance bottlenecks from the node to the cluster level and the interconnect.
