DBSophic’s Trace Analyzer helps database administrators (DBAs) quickly analyze trace events, stored in multiple trace files and trace tables. Within a few minutes, the user views all the trace events analyzed, de-parameterized, grouped and clearly arranged in a tree format and ordered by their resource consumption. The results display the total resource consumption and enable the user to drill down to specific parameter value sets.

“The new product is aimed at assisting DBA professionals in analyzing database transactions in order to help them better monitor and improve the performance of their applications,” said Hagi Erez, CEO of DBSophic. “The Trace Analyzer tool can save them a lot of time and effort, while being completely free of charge. DBSophic is committed to contribute to the IT community.”

“The Trace Analyzer eliminates the need to read hundreds of thousands of trace file events, thus saving time and resources,” explained DBSophic CTO Ami Levin. “Moreover, it allows users to determine immediately which batches are overloading their servers, and provides an overall yet detailed view providing IT managers with the opportunity to see the whole picture.”

BEIJING, Jul 09, 2009 (SinoCast Daily Business Beat via COMTEX) — China Mobile and China Telecom recently both initiated existing 3G network upgrade testing, disclosed persons in the know.

Six equipment manufacturers, such as Datang Mobile Communications Equipment Co., Ltd., China Potevio Co., Ltd., ZTE Corporation (SZSE: 000063 and SEHK: 0763), and Huawei Technologies Co., Ltd., now are making preparations for China Mobile’s TD-LTE out-of-door testing.

According to the plan made by the nation’s TD-LTE working group, the TD-LTE testing can be divided into two phases, including the indoor testing in the first half of this year and the site testing in the second half. During the indoor testing phase in H1, the theoretical speed of the TD-LTE technology touched 173Mbps, much higher than the earlier expectation.

Moreover, China Mobile will kick off mass site testing in early 2010. It will select two to three large-sized cities for the mass site testing and build 100 TD-LTE bases stations in each city.

China Mobile unveiled TD-LTE technology on February 17, 2009 at the Mobile World Congress 2009.

The telecom carrier said that it would boost the integration of TD-LTE and FDD-LTE technologies. Long-term evolution (LTE) is a fourth generation mobile communications technology. TD-LTE is a standard that will be used for the evolution of China’s home-grown TD-SCDMA technology and FDD-LTE is for European WCDMA.

Major telecom equipment manufacturers, such as Ericsson, Huawei Technologies Co., Ltd., Nokia Siemens Networks, Motorola, and ZTE Corporation, all showed their TD-LTE products at the conference.

Teaming up with equipment suppliers, China Telecom also started testing on EV-DO Rev. B functions and will kick off site testing later. The telecom operator is scheduled to deploy EV-DO Rev. B networks for commercial services in cities like Beijing, Shanghai, and Guangzhou next year.

China Telecom gained a 3G license in the beginning of January 2009 and started CDMA2000 trial commercial services on May 17, the World Telecommunication Day. Although the telecom carrier has a comparatively small user base, its 3G coverage has extended to 342 cities across the country and will expand to 500 Chinese cities before the year-end. After upgrading to EV-DO Rev. B, the company’s 3G networks can support 9.3Mbps download rate and 5.4Mbps upload rate.

This June, Huawei launched EC367, the world’s first data card that supports EV-DO Rev. B, and ZTE said that it set up the world’s first EV-DO Rev. B commercial network in Morocco.

An industry watchdog has found Telecom’s sweetheart wholesale deals for Woosh, CallPlus and others a breach of its separation undertakings. If the Commerce Commission agrees, Telecom faces a maximum fine of $10 million or $500,000 a day until it corrects the situation.

While the Independent Oversight Group (IOG) refuses any comment – even to confirm its investigation – a person familiar with its processes told NBR a draft decision, made last week, found Telecom’s loyalty discount programme in breach of the Telecommunications Act. After cross-submissions, a final decision is due in around 10 days.

The IOG’s investigation was carried out after it received a complaint from Orcon, and the ISP’s parent company, state-owned enterprise Kordia.

The draft decision is seismic. Telecom has never been found to be in breach of its undertakings, at least on such a scale, since it was operationally separated under the Telecommunications Act in March last year.

If the IOG confirms its decision, the Commerce Commission has the option to launch its own investigation, and levy potentially massive fines under the Telecommunications Act.

How did the situation get so explosive?

Last December, Telecom Wholesale introduced a “loyalty discount programme” offering its Auckland customers steep discounts if gave it at least 90% of their business. CallPlus and Woosh were among those who immediately leapt onboard. Woosh even credited the cut-price wholesale deal with pushing it into the black for the first time in its history.

But Orcon and Vodafone were outraged.

Orcon boss Scott Bartlett describes the scheme as “disloyalty pricing.”

Orcon and Vodafone had moved their own DSL gear into every Telecom exchange in Auckland – so -called local loop unbundling. This allowed them to offer their own wholesale service, and plans and pricing more under their own control.

But it also meant they didn’t qualify for Telecom’s loyalty programme – nor could they match its killer rates.

This month, Telecom has outraged Orcon and Vodafone further by expanding its loyalty programme beyond Auckland to cover Hamilton, Tauranga, Rotorua, Palmerston North and the Hibiscus Coast.

TelstraClear won’t comment, but the common industry view is that the expansion is a pre-emptive move to undercut the telco in areas where it’s about to unbundle Telecom exchanges. (TelstraClear has said it will unbundle 70 exchanges by the end of this year, but still hasn’t said – publically – where).

For Mr Bartlett, the situation is clear-cut: “Telecom has made a blatant attempt to kill-off our fixed line business, and Vodafone’s and TelstraClear’s.”

Mr Bartlett says Orcon’s exchange unbundling – which, like Vodafone’s has stalled after its initial Auckland-wide burst, bar a foray into central Wellington – will not resume until a decision is made on the loyalty programme. (Unbundling has also been hindered by the separate debate about roadside cabinet pricing.)

The situation is commercial favouritism, said Mr Bartlett. The Orcon chief executive said that Orcon and Vodafone had shown loyalty to Telecom, and were certainly giving it volume business. Instead of rewarding loyalty or volume buying, Telecom is “illegally” rewarding those who have not pursued local loop unbundling, Mr Bartlett said.

Vodafone also had no comment until the IOG made its final decision. Neither did Telecom – though NBR understands it has argued that Telecom Wholesale has no direct knowledge of which exchanges Telecom Chorus has helped TelstraClear unbundle.

The IOG was set up to independently monitor Telecom’s compliance with its separation undertakings under the Telecommunications Act; specifically, that all industry players have equivalence of input. Amendments to the act saw Telecom broken into operationally separate Chorus (network building and maintenance), Telecom Wholesale and Telecom Retail divisions in March last year.

Mr Bartlett describes the IOG as “a relatively powerless” body, and the watch-dog has previously been mocked by the Telecommunications Users Association, which represents around 500 corporate customers, as AWOL.

And indeed the Commerce Commission is not obliged to even mount its own investigation on the back of the IOG’s recommendation, let alone there be any guarantee of it reaching the same conclusion.

Yet Mr Bartlett hopes that with the whole industry watching, events will be kicked into motion by the IOG’s ground-breaking draft decision.

“This is the test of the due process. If it doesn’t work for this one it won’t work for anything,” said Mr Bartlett. “The IOG knows that. Telecom knows that. The commission knows that. The minister knows that.”

Although Telecom’s separation undertakings don’t kick in until December, Woosh and CallPlus have signed 24-month contracts.

As mischievous as ever, Mr Bartlett mused that should the Commerce Commission ultimately come down against the loyalty programme – and the minister agree – then Woosh and CallPlus would be well placed to seek compensation from Telecom.
