AST Enterprise Solutions Management (AST ESM), a business unit of the AST Group, has announced the latest release of Quest Software`s Quest Central for Oracle, which combines industry-leading database management tools into one product, a first for delivering a tightly integrated solution that includes all components a database administrator (DBA) needs to perform daily tasks.
Quest Central for Oracle improves application performance and availability by ensuring the database is being managed from one central console, as opposed to multiple point products. Since all database management tasks are performed within one tool, the DBA is immediately notified of impending problems thereby improving productivity and expediting problem resolution.
"The latest release of Quest Central combines real-time and historical diagnostics with expert advice to ensure no issues go unresolved," says Haydn Pinnell of AST ESM, the sole distributor for Quest Software in southern Africa.
"DBAs have the responsibility of making sure their database is running at optimal performance and is available 24X7. With the new record and playback capabilities, coupled with AST ESM`s expert advice, Quest Central for Oracle version 2.5 enables DBAs to diagnose and resolve issues related to the user, the application or the database.
"With today`s complex database environments, seeing a flashing red light on your monitor screen is not enough. Database administrators need a tool that will take them beyond the red light-offer advice for resolution on the thousands of issues that might arise-in order to guarantee an expedient resolution to any problem," adds Pinnell.
The added capability of record and playback within Quest Central is innovative and essential because it allows DBA`s to identify and understand the root-cause of problems that occur while away from the office. Quest Central for Oracle provides the DBA team with the necessary details needed to resolve database problems and ensure that the problems do not occur again in the future. This not only increases the value added to the corporation as a whole but also maximises the confidence and efficiency of the team.
Quest Central integrates the key components that database administrators need to complete their daily tasks, including Performance Diagnostics, Database Analysis, SQL Tuning, Database Administration and Live Space Management.
