Quest Software Adds Two New Products To SQL Server Portfolio

Quest Software, Inc has announced two significant product releases in the SQL Server performance management space. The newest release of Spotlight on SQL Server Enterprise, now featuring business intelligence (BI) monitoring, coupled with the debut of Foglight for SQL Server, enables database administrators (DBAs) to proactively detect, diagnose and resolve SQL Server performance issues.

“With the enhancements Microsoft has made in the business intelligence space, SSAS is quickly becoming a compelling choice and critical part of the enterprise,” said Ari Weil, product manager, SQL Server performance products, Quest Software. “Spotlight has always been the DBA’s solution for an all-encompassing view of the database environment and the surrounding enterprise, so it made sense to fully integrate SSAS diagnostics into the same solution. The simplicity and intuitiveness of the data presentation help overcome the steep learning curve DBAs face with SSAS.”

Spotlight on SQL Server Enterprise also offers automated CPU diagnosis, which affords users detailed visibility into CPU conditions from both SQL Server and Windows perspectives within a single location, empowering database and systems administrators to troubleshoot issues collaboratively. The new version also integrates direct links to Quest’s SQLServerPedia portal from dashboard, giving users access to detailed information on SQL Server performance issues via expert blogs, wiki posts, video tutorials, and more.
