The volume, velocity, and variety of data is ever-increasing. At the same time, data is becoming ever more critical to the growth of organizations. Data is also becoming ever more difficult to manage across on-premise and cloud platforms. All these developments have made the role of database administrators complex and continually evolving. The daily tasks for database maintenance and upkeep have not diminished.
To effectively manage SQL Servers, database administrators need reliable, real-time information on the status, health, and security of their databases. Database administrators also need to minimize the time and effort spent on these routine operations and maintenance of the databases across their organization. To solve this challenge, database administrators need access to powerful tools to manage SQL Servers. These tools need to include performance monitoring, compliance and security, and disaster recovery.
