 "Quest Version Upgrades To Align With SQL Server 2008")
Quest Software, a player in the SQL Server database management space, is celebrating the release of SQL Server 2008 with major updates to its product line. Topping the list is Quest’s backup and recovery product, LiteSpeed, which features a completely overhauled interface, along with categorisation and analysis capabilities that are essential in today’s large environments. Next, Spotlight now offers new levels of visibility into complex performance problems, with customisable reports that provide deep insight into performance data. Lastly, new releases of Capacity Manager, Change Director and Toad for SQL Server have been announced to provide better efficiency, administrative control and automation.
The release of LiteSpeed for SQL Server 5.0 marks a considerable advancement in SQL Server backup and recovery. LiteSpeed 5.0 leverages a low-impact compression technology that allows developers to reduce storage costs while maintaining complete control over the backup and recovery process. With a new graphical user interface (GUI) designed to simplify backup and recovery management, DBAs are now able to customise operations to suit their own unique requirements.
Additional product upgrades include:
• Spotlight on SQL Server Enterprise 2.5 – With more than 30 customisable performance reports, it offers the ability to complete cross-server drill-downs and perform wait state analysis, enabling increased visibility and intelligence on which queries are waiting and why
• Capacity Manager for SQL Server 2.6 – Allows identification of SQL Server performance problems, providing graphical charts for CPU utilisation, server processor queue length, instance memory usage, disk I/O rates, etc.
• Change Director for SQL Server 2.0 – Enables granular object comparisons, as well as a history of schema changes and the ability to retain data from dropping tables
• Toad for SQL Server 4.0 – Features enhanced editing capabilities, and a new GUI to help SQL Server users move comfortably between native tools and Toad
