New Performance Auditing Module Provides Powerful Performance Analysis to Optimize SQL Server Performance and Availability

Posted on: Tuesday, 31 January 2006, 09:00 CST

DB Audit's Performance Analysis Module Helps Database Administrators and Developers Configure Microsoft SQL Server for Maximum Performance and Identify the Cause of Poor Performance in a MS SQL Server Environment

SoftTree Technologies, a leading provider of management and administration solutions for Microsoft SQL Server, today announced the availability of version 1.0 of Performance Auditing for Microsoft SQL Server, an optional module for DB Audit Expert, the industry leading database and compliance auditing solution for SQL Server. This new module collects and analyzes SQL performance data that is not available from Windows Performance Monitor.

As SQL Server continues to gain momentum in the enterprise SQL Server DBAs are faced with rapid expansion of their SQL Server Infrastructures. They require powerful, scalable solutions to help them more effectively manage and administer these environments. DB Audit Expert has a long-standing reputation for its excellent database activity and data change monitoring, enabling database administrators, security administrators and auditors to track and analyze any database activity including data creation, change or deletion. Now with DB Audit Expert's optional Performance Auditing Module v1.0 offers innovative reporting and analytics capabilities that enable Microsoft SQL Server DBAs to more easily analyze and manage their entire SQL Server infrastructure strategically -- including trend analysis, capacity planning, data comparison, data correlation, and forecasting.

"A large percentage of our customers use Microsoft SQL Server as the back-end to many of their business critical applications," said Dmitriy Evinshteyn, Chief Technical Officer at SoftTree Technologies, Inc. "Performance or availability problems can't be tolerated in their environment. The new SQL analysis capabilities in our Performance Auditing Module will help them to identify and resolve existing performance problems, as well as address the potential for problems before they happen. With this new module our customers now have the ability to plan strategically and manage their SQL Server infrastructure proactively."

New features in Performance Auditing Module v1.0 include:

Over 50 performance-oriented reports - DB Audit Expert's Performance Auditing Module provides over 50 performance-oriented reports for analyzing CPU usage, input/output (I/O), locking and performance efficiency of SQL queries, stored procedures, applications, logins and the entire SQL Server environment. While Windows Performance Monitor can be used to monitor and analyze top level hardware utilization and bottlenecks, DB Audit Expert's Performance Auditing Module will provide an X-ray of database activity to identify which database queries and operations are creating performance bottlenecks. It can also be used for trend analysis; the ability to produce graphs of historical performance provides an important capacity planning benefit - proactively identifying future problems before they occur.

Best Practice Reporting - pre-defined reports, tuning recommendations and a guide to writing custom reports are provided 'out of the box' with the Performance Reporting Module.

Pricing and Availability

Performance Auditing Module v1.0 is available immediately and is priced at $170.00 per SQL Server Instance including the Web Console.
