High Performance
Striving for high performance, Pyxis Engineering utilizes Oracle Real Application Clusters (RAC) to load balance each customer application across the processing power of a grid making it better, faster, and cheaper. Pyxis Engineering professionals currently monitor more than 300 databases using Oracle Grid Control and use this information to tune for faster query response time, better memory management, distributed CPU usage, and better storage allocation.
High Availability
Striving for high performance, Pyxis Engineering draws on Oracle Real Application Clusters (RAC) to create a service-oriented architecture model for database access. Applications connecting to a database via configured services are automatically load balanced across the processing power of a grid. Pyxis engineers, currently maintaining over 300 databases, monitor this grid in order to further tune the system for faster query response time, better memory management, distributed CPU usage, and better storage allocation.
