HOUSTON (BusinessWire EON) August 14, 2007 --
Idera, a leading provider of management and administration solutions for
Microsoft SQL Server environments, today announced the availability of
SQL defrag manager 1.2. The first and only product of its kind, SQL
defrag manager continuously analyzes SQL Server fragmentation levels,
pinpoints fragmentation hot spots, and intelligently defragments SQL
Server tables and indexes automatically or on demand –
providing improved and more consistent SQL Server database performance
and response times.
Over time, as data is inserted, updated, and deleted, databases become
fragmented – a condition that adversely
affects database performance, especially in large scale SQL Server
environments. Fragmentation ranks as one of the top causes of poor
database performance, yet the task of defragmentation is often neglected
because it can be extremely time-consuming, labor-intensive, and often
must be done in off-hours to avoid service interruption.
“SQL defrag manager is the first and only
product that intelligently and safely automates the process of SQL
Server database defragmentation,” said Rick
Pleczko, President and CEO at Idera, “It
significantly increases DBA productivity by reducing the time spent
finding and remediating fragmented tables and indexes and ensures the
performance and availability of critical SQL Servers.”
“One of the most difficult tasks in my day to
day operations has been to maintain index optimization.”
commented Mike Flanagan, Senior DBA with Aries Systems Corporation, “SQL
defrag manager allows me to configure automated index maintenance based
on the fragmentation level of the individual indexes. The maintenance
process runs each night, takes a fraction of the time it used to and has
very little load impact. I find SQL defrag manager to be an
indispensable tool in my day to day duties as a DBA.”
Key features and benefits provided by SQL defrag manager include:
-
Improved SQL Server performance: SQL defrag manager
continuously monitors fragmentation levels and takes automated action
to resolve fragmentation issues, resulting in better, and more
consistent database performance.
-
Automatic Analysis: SQL defrag manager automatically analyzes
index and table fragmentation levels to quickly pinpoint “hot
spots” or areas where performance is
severely hindered.
-
Customizable Remediation: SQL defrag manager offers three easy
options for performing SQL Server defragmentation:
-
Automated: Performs automatic remediation according to
user-specified parameters and fragmentation levels.
-
Semi-automated: Performs automatic analysis and highlights
fragmentation problem areas in a to-do list for subsequent ‘one-click’
remediation.
-
Manual: Initiate fragmentation analysis on demand and remediate
manually as required.
-
Centralized Management: View fragmentation analysis in
real-time and manage defragmentation activity across hundreds of
servers and thousands of databases from a central console.
-
Comprehensive Reporting: Generate comprehensive reports of
analysis and defragmentation activity providing proof that database
performance is continuously optimized.
