SolarWinds Unites the Features of Database Performance Analyzer and SQL Sentry


SolarWinds has expanded its database performance management portfolio with the launch of SolarWinds Database Insights for SQL Server.

Uniting the features and functionality of the SolarWinds Database Performance Analyzer (DPA) and SolarWinds SQL Sentry (formerly the flagship product of SentryOne) into a new, single licensed product, Database Insights for SQL Server provides the in-depth performance and environmental data that teams need to optimize the performance of Microsoft SQL Server and other leading database platforms running on-premises, in the cloud, or in hybrid environments.

SolarWinds acquired SentryOne, a technology provider of database performance monitoring and DataOps solutions on SQL Server, Azure SQL Database, and the Microsoft Data Platform, in 2020.

Database Insights for SQL Server combines DPA’s database anomaly detection capabilities powered by machine learning with the SQL Sentry detailed performance information, helping to pinpoint problems, speed time to resolution, and prevent them from reoccurring. It delivers relevant, actionable metrics to help data professionals monitor, view, and report on Microsoft SQL Server databases regardless of where they reside, monitor overall performance with the ability to drill deep into database and OS internals, and customize performance dashboards to stakeholders’ needs. Further, Database Insights extends beyond SQL Server to provide some of the broadest database coverage available in the industry, managing the performance of more than 20 database platforms, from on-premises to in the cloud.

“Data, and database growth, is exponential,” said Rohini Kasturi, EVP and chief product officer, at SolarWinds. “With this added growth comes added complexity, making it difficult to find resolutions when problems arise. And if this wasn't difficult enough, hybrid environments make performance monitoring harder than ever. Adding Database Insights for SQL Server strengthens our database performance management offering for customers who rely not only on the Microsoft SQL Server database management system, but on a wide array of databases today.”

At SolarWinds, said Kasturi, “our investment in database performance management delivers on our commitment to—and eye toward—future innovation to improve the quality of life for data professionals, even as their responsibilities and number of databases they manage expand and become more complex. The overall portfolio gives data teams some of the most comprehensive and cost-effective solutions available, with robust features and functionality to effectively manage and optimize database performance regardless of the database type or where the data resides at scale.”

SolarWinds database performance management solutions aim to provide intelligent recommendations based on best practices for faster troubleshooting and AI implementation for anomaly detection to help predict and identify potential issues before they disrupt the business and accelerate data delivery while controlling costs. The cross-platform solutions help data pros manage complexities and provide them with visibility needed to proactively optimize the performance of multi-platform databases—to mitigate the risk of business interruptions, and regardless of where the databases run.
