Transaction processing monitors and the multi-threaded server A transaction processing monitor is used for coordination of services. It is like an operating system and does the coordination at a high level of granularity and can span multiple computing devices. Partition (database) Partition use increases performance for sites that have regular transactions while still maintaining availability and security. Database tuning With database tuning, an OLTP system can maximize its performance as efficiently and rapidly as possible.
