SolarWinds announced significant updates to its SolarWinds Database Performance Analyzer (DPA).
With the enhancements, SolarWinds DPA is capable of providing Multi-Dimensional Performance Analysis to improve Software as a Service (SaaS) application performance for MySQL- and Linux-only IT organizations, helping them reduce costs and improve overall organizational effectiveness.
Specifically, SolarWinds DPA now supports MySQL database repositories, enabling SaaS companies running MySQL- and Linux-only infrastructure whether on-premises or in the cloud to fully leverage the award-winning tool, whereas a Microsoft SQL Server or Oracle repository were required previously.
Additional new features in the latest release of SolarWinds DPA include visualization and analysis to help DBAs optimize for and resolve blocking, locking and deadlock issues, and support for Microsoft SQL Server 2016.
SolarWinds DPA can help database administrators (DBAs), application developers and operations teams quickly reveal the root cause of performance problems with a unique response-time analysis approach that helps application teams by correlating SQL operations, wait events and server and virtualization resources to pinpoint MySQL database bottlenecks impacting application performance.
With the latest release, IT professionals working in MySQL- and Linux-only environments are now able to fully leverage the power of SolarWinds DPA thanks to newly added support for MySQL repositories. Support for MySQL repositories also enables IT professionals with SQL Server, Oracle, Microsoft Azure or Amazon RDS environments to reduce licensing fee costs by leveraging a lower-cost MySQL repository.
“For technology-based companies, application performance and infrastructure costs are two key business metrics,” said Gerardo Dada, VP, Product Marketing, SolarWinds. “With SolarWinds DPA, development and operations teams who rely on MySQL databases can improve both metrics by leveraging the only application performance intelligence tool that delivers Multi-Dimensional Performance Analysis. Until now, most of these teams were in the dark when it came to understanding exactly what drives database performance, as traditional application performance management tools have offered little help in this area. We’re particularly excited for this release of SolarWinds DPA and the positive business impact it will have for SaaS vendors, as well as others.”
- SolarWinds DPA now empowers DBAs with SQL Server, Oracle, MySQL and SAP ASE databases to identify root blockers and the total wait they are causing, focus on the most important queries to reduce blocking time, see which objects are waiting the longest because of blocking and quickly identify the last query of an idle blocker to track down the last active session.
- SolarWinds DPA now not only alerts when SQL Server deadlocks occur, but also identifies victims and the overall victim impact—the information necessary to help DBAs determine why a deadlock occurred and how to resolve deadlocking issues.
- With the newly added support for SQL Server 2016, SolarWinds DPA now supports the very latest versions of the top three major relational database platforms—MySQL 5.7, Oracle 12c and SQL Server 2016.
