Blue Medora, an innovator in the cloud
systems management space, today announced the release of its vRealize
Operations Management Pack for Microsoft SQL Server. The Management Pack
extends vRealize Operations’ monitoring, alerting, capacity planning
and reporting capabilities to Microsoft SQL Server databases and enables
predictive analytics for virtualized Microsoft SQL server landscapes.
Until now, VMware administrators (vAdmins) have had little visibility
into the Microsoft SQL Server workloads in their VMware environments.
As IT environments become increasingly interconnected, this lack of
visibility challenges vAdmins to manage their integrated infrastructure.
The new vRealize Operations Management Pack unifies the database layer
with the infrastructural layers into a cohesive and integrated view
within vROps. This single-pane view provides administrators with an
unprecedented ability to troubleshoot and diagnose issues in their IT
environments, ensuring optimal performance of business-critical
applications.
“Today’s administrators are operating at a speed and scale that
necessitates collaboration between databases and cloud-systems
administration. We see problems related to database performance, health
and availability that can severely hamper daily operations and have a
negative impact on application availability and performance,” said
Nathan Owen, president and CEO, Blue Medora. “Historically, vROps
administrators haven’t had easy visibility into the health of the
Microsoft SQL Server environment even though it’s an increasingly
critical component of the database ecosystem. With vROps Management Pack
for Microsoft SQL Server, Blue Medora provides vAdmins with the tools
to take control of both virtualized and traditional Microsoft SQL Server
landscapes and proactively avoid issues.”
Blue Medora’s newest Management Pack includes support for vRealize
Operations version 6.0, allowing users to monitor capacity and rapidly
identify and resolve memory, CPU and storage issues and reduce time
spent troubleshooting in virtualized databases. The vROps Management
Pack for Microsoft SQL Server enables proactive management of
performance and availability by providing intelligent alerts and
recommendations and communicating indications of potential issues before
they evolve into incidents and outages.
Key features of the Blue Medora vROps Management Pack for Microsoft SQL Server include:
-
Enterprise-wide Visibility – Each layer of SQL Server and VMware is
exposed within vROps to leverage powerful and patented capacity analysis
algorithms inside vROps with the Management Pack’s addition of capacity
definitions and an out-of-the-box policy.
- View the Entire Stack – Simplified management and maximized
monitoring efficiencies of SQL Server workloads through a single
integrated console.
- Improved User Experience – Traversal specifications enable
administrators to quickly find and troubleshoot issues across their
entire Microsoft SQL Server environment.
- Receive Customized Alerts and Recommendations – Administrators
can automatically track the health of their Microsoft environments to
optimize performance.
- Advanced Analytics & Reporting – Exploiting the new reporting
capabilities introduced in vROps 6.0 inside the Management Pack allow
administrators to proactively monitor, troubleshoot and remediate their
Microsoft workloads.
