whitepaper Oracle Internet Directory Tuning and Configuration2007-09-01 Oracle
  Oracle Internet Directory (OID) is Oracle's LDAPv3 Directory Server that is highly scalable, available and manageable. OID has multi-threaded, multi-process, multi instance process architecture with Oracle Database as the directory store. This unique physical architecture enables OID to be deployed on several hardware architectures including SMP, NUMA and Cluster hardware. OID physical architecture enables linear performance scalability with hardware resources and numerous High Availability configurations that is unmatched in the industry. The out of box OID configuration is not optimal for most production or test deployments. It is hence imperative that some basic tuning and configuration changes are performed after OID installation to achieve optimal performance and availability. This paper intends to provide a quick reference for such tuning and configuration changes.

whitepaper On Oracle Database 11g2007-09-01 Oracle
  Oracle Database 11g raises the bar on data caching. In the past, Oracle Database cached database blocks. It could cache these blocks in various places, such as the default pool, a keep buffer pool, or a recycle buffer pool. But it always cached blocks of data - the building blocks used to build result sets. Starting with Oracle Database 11g, the database can also now cache result sets! If one has a query that is executed over and over again against slowly or never-changing data, one will find the new server results cache to be of great interest. This is a feature from which virtually every application can and will benefit.

whitepaper Optimizing Storage Performance, Provisioning, and Manageability for Microsoft SQL Server2007-08-29 IBM
  Microsoft SQL Server has become very popular as a database environment driving a broad range of mid-level business applications, ranging from CRM to eCommerce and from ERP to supply chain integration. The combination of affordability, performance, ease of deployment, and sophisticated analytical features has led to a significant proliferation of SQL Server databases in many organizations. To optimize storage performance for SQL Server, organizations need a consolidated networked storage environment, well-matched to the price and performance characteristics of the database servers, that can meet the demanding service level requirements of the business and that can simplify the management of the distributed SQL Server database environment dramatically. This paper describes the SQL Server benefits that are available from storage consolidation using best-in-class IP SAN (iSCSI) storage.
