Oracle Input Output Numbers, ORION, provides a simple way to check storage performance before the Oracle Database is created, that gives us a clean storage performance report that can be compared with the awr IO statistics once the database is running.
When performance problems related to poor performance at the storage level are detected in a late implementation stage the number of variables may make the task to detect the bottleneck difficult, and the time to find a solution scarce.
Orion can simulate the type of IO's an OLTP or DSS system does and provide detailed response times in terms of IOPS and MBPS.
