Tuning Red Hat Enterprise Linux for Databases

Explore database performance optimization techniques for Red Hat Enterprise Linux in this 52-minute conference talk from the 2013 Red Hat Summit. Discover how to tune RHEL for both bare metal and virtual machine environments using KVM technology. Learn implementation strategies for various tuning settings, analyze performance impact through data and charts, and gain insights on using Linux tools to identify and resolve performance issues. Delve into topics such as I/O profiling, file systems, memory management, huge pages, overclocking, Infiniband, storage profiles, and monitoring tools. Understand the intricacies of C Groups, KVM optimization, and Single Root I/O Virtualization for enhanced database performance in virtualized environments.
