Keep databases fast today and ready for tomorrow through continuous tuning.

Performance is a moving target

Workloads shift, statistics age, and new releases introduce hidden waits. One-time tuning delivers a boost, but without ongoing attention the gains fade and cost creeps back in. House of Brick’s Ongoing Performance Tuning service tracks Oracle and SQL Server metrics week over week, pinpoints emerging hotspots, and applies targeted fixes before users feel the slowdown.
