Speaker biography: Anjo Kolk is Chief Oracle Technologist with Symantec Application Performance Management (APM) Products. Before joining Symantec APM Products, he worked at Oracle Corporation for over 16 years mostly in the RDBMS Performance area and Oracle Parallel Server area. During those 16 years he lived and worked in the Netherlands, Ireland, Japan and the USA. The last couple of years he was working for the Oracle Server Performance Group and later worked with different ISVs (Baan. SAP and Amdocs etc.). During that time he has also worked with many different large customers (like NTT Docomo and other Telco's) all over the world to improve performance of their systems and implementations. While working on these performance issues he developed a tuning methodology called YAPP (Yet Another Performance Profiling method). In this method Oracle systems are tuned based on response times. He has taught many Oracle internals classes all over the world. He is also the author of the well known 'Oracle7 wait events and enqueue' white paper and the website www.oraperf.com. Many authors of different Oracle tuning books have made references to this white paper and website. He is also a founding member of the OakTable network (a group of renowned Oracle scientists).
