Idera adds mobile monitoring, intelligent alerting to award-winning SQL diagnostic manager product

SEATTLE, WASHINGTON – Nov. 19, 2008 – At the 2008 PASS Community Summit, Idera, a leading provider of management and administration solutions for Microsoft Windows, today announced a new version of its market-leading SQL Server performance monitoring product - SQL diagnostic manager™ 5.6. 

Idera’s SQL diagnostic manager is an award-winning management and diagnostics solution that minimizes costly server downtime by providing agent-less, real-time monitoring and customizable alerts for fast diagnosis and remediation of SQL Server performance and availability problems.

With the new release, Database Administrators (DBAs) can now react even faster when critical problems arise using the following new features:

* Mobile monitoring – Idera’s award-winning SQL mobile manager product has been incorporated into SQL diagnostic manager. Now SQL diagnostic manager users can view real-time SQL Server performance data, perform management tasks and receive alerts on a Windows mobile or Blackberry device.

* Adaptive Alerting - Automatically recommends alert threshold settings based on pattern recognition analysis of historical server performance data.

* Alert Snoozing – Enables DBAs to temporarily silence alerts when running applications that are known and allowed to exceed general thresholds.

* Application Security – Provides configurable server access permissions for users of SQL diagnostic manager. Enables the power of the SQL diagnostic manager console to be provided to operations and helpdesk staff to monitor SQL Servers without the ability to change or modify those servers.

 “SQL Server houses critical business data and ensuring high levels of performance and availability is critical for business operations,” said Rick Pleczko, President and CEO of Idera. “The new features in this release add to SQL diagnostic manager’s powerful and proven technology to ensure it continues to be the gold standard in SQL Server performance monitoring.”
