Database Performance
Improved overall performance
Reduced contention on the database Buffer

Threaded the Database Server
• Client requests handled on a per-thread
basis, to reduce wait times for execution
Support resolving database queries on the
server vs. client
• Less data transmitted from the database
server to the client--only records that are
part of the final result set.
No application coding changes required!

13. Modernization – Business Considerations

User-Friendliness goal here is not to replace everything at once. Instead, you can
choose to start replacing your legacy system component by component, as the need
arises.
Aligning with the Business Needs migrating the legacy application in accordance
with the business needs
Overcoming Legacy Barriers comparatively rigid, less scalable, work only within
their native environment
Integration of On-premise & Cloud seamless integration of on-premise and cloud
while keeping data security, integrity and performance intact
Stability and Performance keeping the lights on is of utmost importance.
