SQL Server is a relational database management system developed by Microsoft that has been designed and built to manage and store information, helping to support business intelligence, analytics and transaction processing.
There are various ways in which businesses can make use of the program, with the most obvious being the storing and management of information. However, it also really comes into its own from a security perspective, as well, when used to protect sensitive and confidential information such as personal details, credit card numbers and so on.
In addition, it can also facilitate the sharing of data files between computers on the same network, helping to increase reliability, while speeding up data processing, as well.
Because of how much information is held on the system, SQL Server monitor tools are every database administrator’s best friend.
Without these, daily checks and investigation work have to be carried out which is time-consuming, preventing administrators from implementing new processes and keeping them focused on tackling problems instead of being able to identify the root causes.
Monitoring tools are ideal because they enable teams to become more proactive in their jobs, can alert you to current issues, allow you to invest your time more effectively, can help you reduce the amount of time you spend firefighting problems, and allow you to identify the causes of any issues more quickly.
By ensuring that you have a strong monitoring system in place, you’ll soon start reaping the benefits of being able to keep track of all your servers in one place, no matter where they’re hosted.
Because you’ll have all the information you need relating to the potential problems your systems could face, you’ll find that you’re better able to plan for the future and will find effective estate management a lot easier. Get in touch today if you’d like to find out more.
