Very good answers from both Ashfield and Mycroft.

To add a few things: You said that applications are accessing the database. What you didn't mention is that do they mostly only read or do they modify the contents of the database. Depending on the answer you should take a bit different paths in optimization. For example if the database is mostly only read, usage of indices can be very agressive while if it's commonly also updated, you will need to get a 'balanced' solution. This principle is not used only against the whole database but for different areas in the database so for different tables you could have different optimization goals.

As Mycroft suggested, you would benefit if you get a good DBA to have a look at the problems and advice you further. The solution won't be purely technical but it will include technical modifications as well as going through the logic of the applications and possibly modifying it if necessary and possible.

One technical thing to add to the excellent list from Ashfield, you could consider also using federations.

The need to optimize rises from a bad design.My articles[^]
