Hello everyone!
Scroll to the end to see where to find the free Exadata Internals & Advanced Performance Metrics seminar videos (4 hours) that are old, but still completely useful and relevant even in 2026!
The summer is near, it’s time for yearly spring cleaning (of our brains) and replacing some old stuff with something new!
All my training courses are designed so that you’d learn not only tips & tricks or tools & techniques, but the methods and underlying fundamentals too. This way, you’ll be able to:
- Systematically solve problems, both when doing reactive troubleshooting and proactive optimization.
- Avoid resorting to trial & error when fixing things - and know how to fix things for good.
- Really understand what’s going on from the ground up and why your fixes & solutions will work.
Individual courses and class bundles are discounted until end of May!
This year I’m offering big discounts again for my flagship courses and even bigger discounts for course bundles.

Now to the free stuff:
FREE Exadata Internals & Advanced Performance Metrics seminar
A deep dive into Exadata internals and advanced metrics for performance analysis. Focuses on architecture and diagnostic techniques rather than high-level SQL tuning and workload optimization.
These videos are from an old half-day seminar I presented at Enkitec E4 in Barcelona back in 2014, but it’s still useful & relevant, especially if you like internals and performance!
You can get the slides and play the videos here:

There’s more to come!
Among other things, I’m also working on a new, modern Practical Exadata Performance training course that is not about advanced internals, but focuses on practical aspects of migrating, optimizing and performance troubleshooting of enterprise workloads on Exadata ;-)
Thank you and “see” you soon!
