Principal Consultant 
 

Principal Consultant, Brian Holroyd, spent 11 years working at PeopleSoft's development headquarters, both as an independent consultant and employee, specializing in DB2 UDB. His focus was primarily as a Performance Engineer running internal benchmarks, but he has provided support to dozens of customers as a performance expert and DBA.

Including PeopleSoft, he has 24 years experience as a DB2 DBA, and 36 years of mainframe experience. 

He has been a speaker at the 1997-2004 PeopleSoft US Users Conferences, the 1998 IBM DB2 Technical Conference, the 2000-2006 IDUG conferences (Top 10 speaker 2006), the 2000-2002 SHARE conference and the 2001 CMG conference.

He is the author of the PeopleSoft DB2 for z/OS Monitoring, Optimization, Configuration and Administration Guide, and has developed and taught Performance and Tuning Seminars attended by staff from more than 60 companies. 

Comments on his expertise from top DB2 architects at IBM include “he certainly knows his stuff” and “one of the best”.

He was elected to the IBM Gold Consultants organization in 2001.

In addition to providing customers with on-site and remote tuning support, he has performed the following internal benchmarks:
