German term or phrase: ein großes Stück näher bringt
XXXXXX hat den DB LiveMonitor programmiert, der Oracle Datenbanken den ständigen Zielen „Verfügbarkeit und Performance“ ***ein großes Stück näher bringt***. Das effiziente und verlässliche Frühwarnsystem sorgt dafür, dass zeitraubende Reparaturen und Recovery durch vorausschauende Wartung abgelöst werden. Neben performancerelevanten Aspekten werden insbesondere betriebsrelevante Ressourcen wie z. B. Festplattenplatz, verfügbare Flash Recovery-Areas, ASM-Plattennutzungen etc. überwacht, damit eine Meldung erfolgt, bevor die Datenbank ihren Dienst beendet.
