Qure Improves SuperDerivatives' SQL Server Database Performance by Over 50%

SuperDerivatives, a leading provider of multi-asset derivatives pricing, revaluation and management tools worldwide, uses DBSophic's Qure solution to optimize its SQL Server databases.

SuperDerivatives, which combines pricing for a wide range of instruments and underlying assets with front office and risk management tools delivered over the web, has dozens of SQL Server databases. These databases provide service to thousands of customers in over 60 countries, including Deloitte & Touche, Standard & Poor's, The Wallis Group and more.

SuperDerivatives decided to deploy Qure in order to maintain the performance of the databases and applications in the organization's production environment.

SuperDerivatives used Qure to analyze over 20 different databases and the results exceeded the expectations of the company's database administrators.

In one occasion, SuperDerivatives performed two Qure analyses on their large and complex foreign exchange database. Recommendations from the first analysis were implemented on SuperDerivatives' production environment and provided over 50% improvement across all measures (Duration, CPU and I/O).

A second analysis was executed several months later on the same database, which contained the implemented recommendations from the first analysis. The performance improvement results across the improved batches sorted by duration were VERY positive and reflected the effectiveness of Qure and its capabilities.
