Smooth database operations are hindered when unexpected performance incidents occur. What if we could predict an incident was likely to occur within the next 60 seconds? By using Oracle Sysmetric data with deep learning neural networks, this can be a reality. This presentation will begin with how we recognize patterns and how artificial neural networks try to do the same. Then we’ll look at Oracle database Sysmetric data, understanding and leveraging its time-series nature. With only a few more ML specifics, you will be ready to understand why neural networks and deep learning are sought after in performance prediction. An Oracle Cloud Free Tier or Gmail account is all you need for a mind-blowing graphical demonstration of making real-time performance predictions. You can download the single file necessary to replicate my demonstration enabling you to tinker and explore! Once you get a glimpse of what is possible, a whole new world of performance monitoring and alerting will come into focus. Join me for a fascinating applied Machine Learning presentation for the Oracle professional of the future.
