Getting good performance from Amazon AWS EBS disks

Hi, I am new here, so please let me know if I should be posting somewhere else.
We are using the Amazon cloud and striped EBS disks for Oracle DB 11g. We have done many tests trying to get good performance from the disks but it is still lacking. I am looking for some Oracle best practices for how to best set up the disks in Amazon. Or if any of you have suggestions of good parameters.
Thanks,
-tom

Oracle talked much about cloud and they did very little, Oracle cloud computing is amateur for performance testing.
Oracle deployed one EBS AMI (Oracle Enterprise Database) to APAC (Asia Pacific region), later on they withdrew that AMI, any one used that AMI to build an infrastructure they couldn't re launch that AMI.
By now Oracle has no one single EBS AMI in Asia Pacific region!
As you can see from this forum, it's not monitored by Oracle cloud people, many times we tried to contact them for urgent AMI we needed they simply don't reply back.
You could find much documents, presentations and nice animations talking about Oracle cloud but oracle has nothing to do on Amazon cloud so far, so try to find alternatives.
Thanks,
Fadi.

  • How to get album artwork from amazon

    How can I get album artwork from amazon ?

    iTunes will only fetch artwork for albums that are on sale in the iTunes Music Store (and sometimes even that doesn't work if the info tags aren't identical). If you have a lot of albums that are older, obscure or simply not licensed for sale in the store iTunes won't add any artwork.
    If the artwork isn't available in iTunes you can also add images of your own manually. You'll get information on both methods at this link: iTunes for Windows - Adding artwork to songs and other items
    When you can't find the album covers you want from iTunes you can get them from various other sources. I find this site is a good source of artwork which you can copy to your computer: CD/Album Cover Art Search from SlothRadio.
    Another place for finding suitable artwork is to go to Amazon. You can also locate artwork using Google image search and put the artist or album name. Locate the album from any of those sources, right click on the image and save it to the desktop, once it's there drag it to the iTunes artwork pane. Once you've added the artwork you can either delete the original file or keep it in a folder somewhere in case you need to use it again. Alternatively there are programs like these that help locate artwork: iTunes Art Importer or MP3 Tag
    If you have a scanner you can create your own artwork files by scanning the CD cover itself, this is particularly useful when you are dealing with rare recordings.

  • HT1515 I'm getting poor performance from my apple TV, will plugging in my airport express via ethernet to apple tv increase its performance (poor wi-fi signal)

    I'm getting poor performance from my apple TV, will plugging in my airport express via ethernet to apple tv increase its performance (poor wi-fi signal)

    Yes, though it is less ideal than what I suggested earlier. You would need to place your AirPort Express in a location approximately midway between your AirPort Extreme Base Station and the TV. Then, using AirPort Utility, configure it to "extend a wireless network".
    It may help. Bear in mind the signal thus "extended" by the Express can only be as good as the signal it can receive from the Extreme. That is the reason for selecting its appoximate midway location.
    Read about it here: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4145
    Scroll down to "Wirelessly Extended Network (802.11n)" for a picture.
    This solution requires an all-Apple wireless network. No third party stuff.
    You mentioned using Ethernet. That would be a better idea. Scroll down to "Roaming Network (Ethernet-connected Wi-Fi base stations)" for a picture. In your case, the longer the Ethernet cable - hence the closer you can move the Express to the TV - the better

  • Best workflow to get good DVD from edited HDV

    I have created a beautiful Blu-ray disc using the follwing workflow:
    1. HDV tape
    2. PE4 to edit.
    3. PE4 output HD 1080i 30 creating mts files
    3. Unwrap mts files to MPEG2 files with MPEG streamclip
    4. Author and burn a Blu-ray disk using a group of these files using TMPGEnc AuthoringWorks 4
    Results are great.
    Now I need a workflow for DVD's. Simply having PE4 output to NTSC DVD Widescreen instead of HD 1080i, yields very poor results. I have read there are interlace issues and PE is not good at down conversion.
    Is there some other path using PE4 or some other software operating on the output of PE4 (for example the HD 1080i MPEG2 files)?

    Well from comments from over on Muvipix it would appear PE7 does a better job of exporting to standard definition DVD. A few folks have done comparisions and concluded that with PE7 the quality of burning a standard DVD from a high definition timeline is the same as using the downconvert in camera that Steve recommeded.
    Also CS4 is reportly better at down converting to standard definition compared to earlier versions. I use Vegas Pro and get good results, although I dont do many down conversions as I mainly use a high definition workflow from import to export/burning.

  • Can't get good prints from adobe lightroom

    I bought a pixma pro 100 and can't get good prints out of Lightroom. Lightroom prints well to other printer and other software prints well to pro 100.

    Hi Salj,
    Various factors can affect a printer's output quality.  To properly determine the cause of the image quality issues you are experiencing, please answer the following questions:
    1.  What brand and type of paper is being used? (For example, Canon Photo Paper Plus Glossy, Canon High Resolution Paper)  If a non-Canon brand of paper is in use, please state the manufacturer and the type of paper.
    2.  What is the source of the original image?  Is the image from a digital camera, scanner photo, web page, or other source?  What is the file size of the image?
    3.  Are you able to print the following sample image correctly?

  • After hard  disk crash: How can I get my fotos from iPod to hard disk?

    As I said my hard disk crashed. (iPod 3.gen. )
    So now I have my photos only on the iPod but I can't get them on my hard disk.
    (If I would sync my iPod they would be deleted...)
    Do you have/know a good programme (free), that copies them back on the hard disk??
    Thanks a lot
    truckdriver64

    f you have full resolution copies of the photos on the iPod have a look here, it's completely free: Apple Knowledge Base article - Use Disk Mode to copy photos from iPod
    If not, there are a few programs out there for recovering photos from an iPod, have a look at the ones below. I don't know of any "free" ones but if your photos are of value to you then paying for a program makes perfect sense. If you search the internet you can find more. Just be aware that what you'll be recovering will be photos optimised for the iPod so they won't be the same quality as the original full resolution versions:
    iPodPhotoCopy Windows only
    CopyPodPhoto Windows only
    Tansee iPod Transfer Photo Windows only
    iPod Photo Liberator Mac & Windows
    TouchCopy Mac and Windows Versions (iPhone and iPod Touch compatible)

  • I can't get good prints from my Epson Stylus Color 1160 now I have OS10.4.4

    My previous Mac was a PowerMac 8600/250 with OS9.1. Since I have had the new iMac G5 the prints I get from my Epson Stylus Color 1160 (which was working OK with OS9.1) have a poor colour match with the on-screen image and are too dark. The printer interface offers far less options than were available with OS9.1. I have downloaded the latest driver from Epson. I even found an alternative driver on the internet called GutenPrint 5.0.0bz2. When I tried to install that I was told that a newer version was already installed. I have tried all variations on the driver settings but none of the results are anywhere approaching satisfactory. I have spoken to Epson but they were not able to solve the problem. I mainly work in Photoshop CS2 so I spoke to Adobe about the problem but it still wasn't resolved. Does anyone have any suggestions of what else I can try?

    When you were printing in OS 9, did you print in CMYK or RGB profiles?
    If your printing directly in Photoshop, try, I think its "RGB 1956" profile. Good luck and let me know if this helps.

  • Printing photos from iPhoto 9.5.1 on my printer yeilds garish two color prints. Exporting the photo from iPhoto to desktop then printing from Preview works fine. How can I get good prints from iPhoto?

    When printing photos in iPhoto 9.5.1 with my HP inkjet printer the multitude of colors in the photos are reduced to two, Magenta and Yellow. If the photos are exported to my desktop (MacPro) and printed from Preview, the colors in the prints are fine. How do I get iPhoto to print the colors correctly?

    Brad
    What settings did you use in the Export Dialogue?
    When you go File -> Export you get a tabbed box with various options. In the File Export tab you can choose to scale the pics, or keep them the same size, change or retain the format.

  • Why can't i get good training from Apples anymore

    Why are the workshops and One to One being cancelled all the time at the Waterside store in Naples Florida???
    I have shown up and no one can teach the one to one several time. This is crazy this store used to be great now I cant get the best trainer (Sue ) anymore because they have her working repairs or ckecking people in. Please get more training classes and workshops. Maybe a bigger store. This store is in one of the wealthiest areas in the USA and Apple cant provide a store with more room to teach. it is so loud in the store i dont want to go anymore.
    A very concern customer.
    I talked to a Manager (Carlos) about my problem and he told me Im new I will look into your problem. He seemed like he didnt even know what a workshop or One to One was???? Maybe that the problem there.

    Also, you can express your concerns by calling Apple Customer Relations - 1-800-275-2273.  Ask politely & firmly that you want to be transferred to Customer Relations.  Tell them exactly what you stated in your post.       
    GOOD LUCK!

  • Am I the only one who finds ios7 laggy on an Ipad 4? It's unbearable,among the main reasons I went over to apple was because of its smoothness and now I get awful performance from a relatively new ipad 4g and it almost feels like an android?

    Will this improve? Will the performance will become at least on par with ios6?

    It runs perfectly on my iPad 3. Very often, problems such as yours can be resolved by restoring the device as new using iTunes.
    Best of luck.

  • Buying from Amazon

    I'm thinking of purchasing a new Macbook from Amazon. But I'm worried that their current stock predates any recent logic board upgrades and I'd be at a higher risk of RSD. Anybody have any idea of their turnover?

    I purchased a week 21 MacBook from Amazon on June 9th and I also upgraded to 2gb ram from Newegg. My MacBook has been working fine ever since. It was a good deal from Amazon with a $100 rebate, no tax and free shipping. It worked out better than my company discount.

  • HT203176 i have a slow macbook, i ran live disk utilities and said I need to repair disk from a cd. did that, I got volume repaired from the external disk. when I reboot from hdd, then run disk utility, I get the same error message i did b4 repair

    i have a slow macbook, i ran live disk utilities (from hard drive), turned out I needed to repair disk from a installation disk. Did that, I got the volume (Hard drive) repaired from the installation disk disk. To this point, great!
    When I reboot from hdd, then run disk utility, I get the same error message i did b4 repair. I went thru two rounds of this.....
    Can anyone help? thanks

    Sorry guys, I don't see how to reply to you so I use reply to "me" basically.
    So the error I get is "volume header needs minor repair" and then you need to perform repair from the installation disk message.
    I did repair not verify from the disk twice. Every time ending in the "the volume had ha been successfully repaired". Then I reboot from the internal disk. Run disk utilities from it, do verify and get the same error message I got before repair. I hope this can shed some light fr you guys. Sorry I didn't include details in the original
    MEssage.

  • I replaced my hard drive on my late 2006 Macbook Pro.  I tried to do a reinstall of Tiger 10.4.5 from my start up disk.  I get an error that states "can't install on this computer." HELP

    I replaced my hard drive on my late 2006 Macbook Pro.  I used the disk utility and erased the drive and formatted it to OSX Journaled .  When I tried to install the OS from the start up disks I got the error "Can't install on this computer.  I have verified the drive.
    I have used Super Duper to copy my old drive to my new drive.  But I wanted to do a fresh install.  How do I go about this? 

    Did you do the Super Duper clone before you tried to reinstall the OS? If so, the original install disc is likely earlier than 10.4.11, and that may be why you are getting the message.
    When trying to reinstall the OS, did you select the "Archive and Install" option? If not, you might try that. Here's a link that might help:
