Illusions and Fallacies of Application Service Provider Web Hosting
The ASP web hosting commercial activity is expanding and developing, but there are some illusions and fallacies that persist to give irrelevant misperceptions on what the service is all about. The commercial activity of ASP web hosting is not anymore an outstretched unclear innovation. The importance it brings to the end users has been deliberately manifested and commercial activity has been assessed and even there is even a recommended growth needed for the service. We will review and clarify the lists below for you to ensure that you can identify the false impressions from the truth: Illusion 1: ASPs should/have to improve meaningfully their appraise preposition Definitely not true. The ASP appraise preposition is quite simple and can be easily understood. The outsourced application technique is almost approximately prominent, inexpensive and convenient. End users get the most benefit due to the easy system it provides.
Illusion 2: WAN or Web delivery is dominant to ASP prototype Again, not true! In this case this is simply a misplaced of emphasis and can easily make changes over a period of time. On the other hand the wide-area networks (WANs), incorporate an empowering technology for ASPs. As vendors and end users have come into full realization and appreciate that the core value of ASPs is technically is the focal point and skill sharing.
Illusion 3: The ASP prototype is based on application charge It is technically true that one advantage of the ASP outsourcing is the predictability of the expenditure. But the predictability doesnt necessarily include the application charge of the application licenses. The three essential components of the ASP are the software stock, the license, and implementation in -process application.
Illusion 4: The ASP commercial activity is fundamentally inexperienced Naturally not true. ASP market is no longer new to outsourcing of software-based services that doesnt arranged competitive discrepancy. Ten years ago it was frantically common to commercial industries to write software. It even proves prohibitive the unshared value of writing software. Sharing out the cost of running software will be quite common in the latter part of years as is todays outsourcing to ISVs.
Illusion 5: There are several ASPs Absolutely true! There are in fact various ACPs. On the other hand ACPs are those that consists more of various forms than the software they run. Generally two or three as the maximum number of ASPs are quite suitable and relevant to cater the requisite and desires of any specific end user.

Effective database activity monitoring (Page 1 of 2)
There are a number of reasons for organisations to deploy Database Activity Monitoring or DAM solutions, which can range anywhere from compliance to cover overall security.
DAM is a data centre technology, which monitors how the data that is stored in core databases and file servers is being accessed; it works on analyzing access behaviour to detect data breaches, if any; and takes action accordingly to mitigate them.
Various rules and regulations, compliance laws, etc also are increasingly forcing organisations to tighten their control over sensitive data they store, and have a verifiable audit trail that can be signed off, if required, by the appropriate organisational executives.
Database Activity Monitoring Architecture
Different DAM vendors have different ways of tracking activities in a database and therefore implementation of architecture is also slightly different.
A DAM with single appliance or single server architecture provides 1-to-1 mapping of a database server with a monitoring appliance; thus it acts both as a sensor and a collector of appropriate data. DAM with this configuration is good for a small database; however, for larger databases it might not be enough effective. Then there is DAM with 2-tier architecture, consisting of a centralised management server; this server collects information from a set of remote sensors or collection points. With this architecture there is a better degree of system scalability.
DAM with hierarchical architecture builds further onto the 2-tier architecture; this system is best suited for larger organizations; these DAMs are capable of supporting a larger number of sensors and collectors, distributed across a large enterprise.
Advanced Database Activity Monitoring Techniques
The process through which all SQL traffic to a database is monitored is called Network monitoring. Network monitoring allows monitoring multiple databases simultaneously; all the commands that are sent across to databases under scrutiny, are kept track of. The activities of users that are logged directly into the server via a local console are not recorded. Performance of a database is not affected by network monitoring, as no overhead is placed over the database directly.
In remote monitoring, a SQL collector is placed on the database with administrative privileges; the native database auditing is also enabled. The collector aggregates all activity collected by the auditing tools. This type of monitoring imposes an overhead on the database as logging is enabled on the database server, causing it to work more. The advantage of remote monitoring is that all database activities are collected, including that of a user who is logged directly into the server.
One can install local agents on each database that is being monitored, but it is not necessary that they would be successful in detecting all database activity; it would depend on how these agents have been configured, and how much closer to the database they are allowed to sit.
