Internationally Recognized Oracle Performance Expert Joins BEZ Board of Advisors
Anjo Kolk, 16 year Oracle veteran now runs popular oraperf.com website
Boston, MA USA – September 26, 2006— BEZ Systems, an innovator in the emerging market for Predictive Performance Management (PPM) solutions today announced the addition of Anjo Kolk, internationally recognized Oracle performance expert and founder of oraperf.com, to the BEZ Board of Advisors. BEZ Systems supports an active Board of Advisors from a cross-section of industry leaders who provide insights, counsel and advice to the BEZ management team and Board of Directors.
Prior to the founding and operation of oraperf.com, Anjo was Chief Oracle Technologist with Veritas Software Application Performance Management Products. Before joining Veritas, he worked at Oracle Corporation for over 16 years, mostly in the RDBMS Performance and Oracle Parallel Server areas. During those years he lived and worked in the Netherlands, Ireland, Japan and the USA while working with many large Oracle-based customers to improve the performance of their systems and implementations. While working on these varied performance issues, Anjo co–developed a still popular tuning methodology referred to as “Yet Another Performance Profiling” method (YAPP). The YAPP method proposes that Oracle systems be tuned based on the quality of Oracle service delivery (i.e. response times). Anjo has also taught Oracle internals classes all over the world and is the author of the well known “Oracle7 Wait Events and Enqueues” white paper. Many authors of Oracle tuning books make reference to this white paper and the oraperf.com website. Anjo is also a founding member of the OakTable network (a group of renowned Oracle scientists located at http://www.oaktable.net).
With over 20 years of experience focusing on the performance analysis and tuning of large Oracle implementations, Anjo is an invaluable addition to the BEZ Board of Advisors, providing thought leadership and resources for ongoing BEZ PPM development.
“We’re really excited about the knowledge and enthusiasm that Anjo will bring to our Board of Advisors”, said BEZ President and CEO Dan Haley. “His knowledge of Oracle and database performance is unparalleled in the industry. With Anjo’s help, we can focus our efforts more tightly on addressing the real performance concerns of our BEZProphet customers.”
