Boulder, CO, October 18, 2006 –- Confio Software, the leading developer of Wait-Time based performance management software, today announced Confio Ignite™ for RAC, developed specifically to improve performance in applications running on Oracle RAC environments. Ignite for RAC enables DBAs to identify and eliminate the overhead associated with RAC configurations, bringing optimal performance to complex database configurations. Ignite for RAC extends the highly acclaimed Ignite for Oracle, the industry’s leading Wait-Time based database performance tool.

Real Application Clusters (RAC™) is Oracle’s widely used shared cache and clustering architecture. As it has become more popular, Confio’s customers find that managing performance of these systems is increasingly complex. “Confio finds DBAs whose organizations have spent large sums on RAC environments, and they still have performance headaches. Our newest extension to the Igniter Suite is unique in bringing Wait-Time analysis to RAC management”, said Don Bergal, Chief Operating Officer for Confio.

Confio Ignite for RAC has been certified for use with Oracle 9i and 10g RAC. It is available immediately, with free trial downloads from www.confio.com.

Ignite’s best-practice Wait-Time methodology is used to monitor and tune Oracle databases and J2EE based applications, isolating the most critical bottlenecks affecting end-user performance and identifying steps to quickly resolve them. Confio’s agentless operation allows monitoring of multiple databases from a single central Repository, without installation of any executable agent on the production server. As a result, monitoring is accomplished without additional performance load. Within 30 minutes, Confio Ignite users can install and be capturing data to solve their Oracle database bottlenecks.
