The support supplied by RockSoLIT allows organisations to benefit from the expertise of a whole team of experts without incurring the cost and risk associated with recruiting in-house staff.

We will review all aspects of your database set-ups, identify any bottlenecks and provide you with a detailed report that gives all the required diagnostics; we will also make recommendations for performance or configuration optimisation.
Once the health check is complete and all issues have been identified, it is then entirely up to you on how you would like to proceed.
Key areas of our Oracle Health Check include
Oracle Upgrade Services
The RockSoLIT Oracle Upgrade Programme is designed to tackle the fears often associated with database server upgrades. Upgrades can be worrying for any organisation, but with RockSoLIT those worries are tackled. Our team of experts work with you to eliminate risks, reduce costs, and improve timescales for the upgrading process.
Building on our experience
RockSoLIT specialises in Oracle core technology, providing them with the knowledge needed to guide many clients through the upgrade process. We have worked with all kinds of technology and both small and large organisations, equipping us with the experience needed to provide successful upgrades in all environments.
We provide the Upgrade Programme to all kinds of organisations, including those with very large databases and those who are upgrading from older releases of the databases (7.3, 8.0, 8i etc.). Some of our customers have high availability requirements, whilst others need a full platform migration. The relevant software in place might include RAC or Data Guard, for example.
Oracle Real Application Testing reduces the risks that are incurred by only testing a fraction of the data values. Most organisations are only able to test at this level as they use manual regression testing, a time consuming procedure which leaves the testing of upgraded software largely incomplete.
RockSoLIT's experience includes hundreds of successful migrations across multiple platforms. Our team will advise on the most efficient, lowest risk, and lowest cost migration mechanism to suit your unique technical requirements. By working with you we develop the best plan for robust, fully featured testing of areas that can be automated and controlled by your administrators.
The Benefits of Choosing the RockSoLIT Upgrade Programme
The RockSoLIT team work hard to help customers perform an upgrade, whilst also quantifying the benefits that upgrading provides.
The benefits to organisations include
Oracle Performance Tuning
One of the key reasons for choosing the Oracle database is its' superior performance. Oracle is the market leader when it comes to companies getting more out of their systems as they offer performance without sacrificing security, availability or integrity. With each new release of Oracle comes a variety of new features designed to allow improved performance from an existing system. However, inevitably with this rapid pace of change it is nearly impossible for those involved in the day-to-day operations of a database to stay up to date with all of the features and facilities available to them.
Building on Our experience
At RockSoLIT, we have built our business around deep knowledge, and the extensive experience of our consultants, in Oracle and all of the features it makes available to users. The RockSoLIT Performance Tuning service enables us to share this experience with our customers to ensure that they achieve maximum performance from their systems.
Targeted or Holistic
No matter whether you are targeting a specific area, such as the nightly batch process, or just looking to get the best out of the system in general, the RockSoLIT Performance Tuning service can help.
Among the services we offer:
Oracle 12c Readiness Programme
The RockSoLIT team offer an Oracle 12c Readiness Programme to clarify how ready your business is to upgrade to the latest Oracle Database. Upgrading to Oracle 12c reduces downtime and increases staff productivity, meaning that it could be of great benefit to your business.
Some of the main features of Oracle 12c Database are:
In order to see if you're ready to upgrade we check your databases to ensure that all information is correct. We also look at how effectively the current systems are working by performing an Oracle Health Check. This allows us to see which Databases are ready to upgrade, and which need to be remedied before the upgrade takes place. This is an important step in the upgrade process as it ensures that you will receive the best performance from your new software.
We also determine when it would be best for your business to perform the upgrade to 12c as this will vary depending on the type of organisation. For example, a university may need to upgrade in the summer as this is when they are the least busy. This will ensure that database performance is at its optimum when registration begins, a critical time for universities. Retailers, however, may need to upgrade after the winter months to ensure that they are ready in time for summer. RockSoLIT is able to offer an upgrade to 12c when it suits your business best, provided that you are ready. The best way to confirm your readiness is by taking advantage of our 12c Readiness Programme.
Oracle Disaster Recovery Planning
The RockSoLIT team offers disaster recovery planning to minimise the loss to your company during system downtime. Organisations are not only affected by the initial downtime, but also by the reduced productivity, reworking and overtime which derives from it. Even when your system is only out for a few minutes the effects may be felt for hours or even days afterwards.
With disasters originating from actions as small as pulling the wrong plug, they are not always easily avoided. However with RockSoLIT you will be prepared when mistakes like this do occur. We work with you to organise a plan to avoid data and service outages as part of your overall database system disaster recovery strategy. RockSoLIT can advise on the options available to you and, working with you, then implement and test the technology. By testing the plan, we are able to see how well it works and avoid unforeseen issues.
Benefits of RockSoLIT Disaster Recovery Planning:
RockSoLIT has guided numerous clients with varied kinds of technology through their Disaster Recovery requirements. Our experience means we are well equipped to supply Disaster Recovery Planning to a wide range of organisations.
We encourage our clients to take advantage of RockSoLIT 's proactive database monitoring suite and support services in order to resolve issues before they become a problem. Taking precautions to prevent a disaster is far less expensive than recovering from one.
