_______________________________________________________   Teleran Architecture - Network-based and Scalable

Enables Efficient, Continuous Usage Profiling & Management   Due to constantly changing usage patterns, ensuring that BI and data warehouse applications perform to expectations and deliver business value requires continuous usage auditing and analysis. New users come on-line, business questions change and data volumes rapidly expand.   Database monitoring and administration tools are limited to sampling or "snapshot" monitoring because of the significant database resources they consume. However, because of the dynamic nature of BI, to really capture, understand and control BI application use requires a comprehensive and continuous picture of usage patterns and trends over time. Teleran developed its unique network-based approach, Access Architecture, to accomplish efficient, continuous usage profiling and management without degrading database or application performance.   Transparent & scalable network-based architecture Quick-to-install system delivers immediate benefits Continuous operation without consuming database resources Supports multiple database instances from single Access Server Supports leading platforms & all SQL applications     Transparent & Scalable Network-Based Architecture   Teleran uses an efficient, small footprint (25 mg) Java Access Server process that sits on the TCP/IP network logically between SQL-generating applications and backend databases. It transparently captures or "sniffs" query and data usage information at the native database protocol packet level. Operating at the network packet level enables Teleran's processes to be extremely efficient, applying no material system overhead or application latency. This approach also enables Access Architecture to be highly scalable to support 1000's of users accessing multi-terabyte size database applications across multiple database instances.       Teleran's Access Architecture can reside on the same physical hardware as the database or on a mid-tier application or web server.   Back to top   Quick to Install System Delivers Immediate Benefits   Access Architecture does not tie-up IT staff with the administrative and maintenance burden of installing and supporting database agents, monitors or traces on each database instance as is common with system and database monitoring tools. Teleran’s simple architecture allows for a quick installation - within an hour or two in common environments - to immediately begin delivering immediate benefits and payback, while minimizing administrative effort.   Continuous Operation Without Consuming Database Resources   Unlike "snapshot" or sampling database monitors and traces that consume database resources, Access Architecture does not require the installation of any performance degrading "in-the-database" agents, traces or monitors. This enables Teleran products to deliver continuous value without placing any processing requirements on the database system.   Back to top   Supports Multiple Database Instances from Single Access Server   Teleran’s unique architecture is designed to fit with a wide range of system environments. The Teleran Access Server can be deployed on an mid-tier application or web server or co-housed with the database server. And, unlike agent-based database system monitors, one Access Server can profile and manage access to many database instances on one or more physical servers. This not only saves on administrative overhead, but also provides a more cost-effective solution than other systems that require agents on every database instance or on each subnet.   Supports Leading Platforms & All SQL Applications   Teleran products can be used to profile and manage access to any of the leading relational databases including Oracle, IBM DB2 distributed and mainframe, and Sybase ASE. Because Teleran products are written in Java, they operate with all Microsoft Windows, LINUX, UNIX operating systems including Sun Solaris, AIX, HP-UX, as well as IBM mainframe zOS and S/390 operating systems.   Teleran products support all SQL-generating client applications, web and   application servers, web portals, as well as analytical applications associated with ERP, CRM, HR, Financial and supply chain systems. Teleran products support all leading two- and three-tier BI query and reporting tools including Actuate, Brio, Business Objects, Cognos, Crystal Reports, Microsoft Access, Microstrategy, PeopleSoft N-Vision and PQuery, and many others.   Back to top
