Why is Database Performance Analyzer a Smart Investment for Your Team?
As companies move databases into the cloud, addressing performance issues isn’t as easy as it was when everything was on-premises. It is expensive to scale up cloud services to improve performance. A better, more sustainable approach would be to help make sure your workload is tuned, so you’re scaling resources for good reasons—more processing needs of the business, not just supporting inefficiencies.
SQL Server performance is critical for business applications to meet internal and external customer needs. Unfortunately, one of the most common SQL Server performance issues is related to missing or incorrect indexes. This situation can cause excessive I/O and CPU overutilization, and it can even lead to additional memory usage. Microsoft® SQL Server® is relatively unique because, as a database engine, it records missing indexes it thinks will help queries.
This whitepaper explores the virtualization metrics that matter for DBA’s responsible for database performance tuning and optimization. By giving DBAs the right virtualization metrics, they can avoid wasting time trying to figure out if the VM has anything to do with poor database performance.
Databases can be a performance bottleneck for a lot of applications, and developers and system administrators don’t always understand why. This paper discusses how database engines work and what you need to look for and evaluate when reviewing your workloads. It also looks at the internal operations of the database engine, to see how they can affect overall server performance. Lastly, this eBook delve into some approaches for optimizing performance and see how to identify anti-patterns in your database queries.
