Quest Software, represented locally by Blue Turtle Technologies, has announced the launch of the newest edition of Spotlight on Oracle, a monitoring and diagnostics tool that provides unique visibility into database processes and performance.
Spotlight exposes current and future performance problems, ensuring that database administrators (DBAs) remain a step ahead of database issues that can negatively impact applications, users, customers and business operations.
The latest version extends Spotlight's predictive diagnostic capabilities by identifying impending bottlenecks. The new version also enhances predictive diagnostics for SQL when execution plans change or performance trends are inconsistent. With these new and enhanced capabilities, DBAs are more productive and gain added value from the tools they already own.
"Today, the trend is for IT to do more with limited resources, which means that DBAs need all the help they can get," says Alan Kuun, product manager, Blue Turtle Technologies. "Quest has taken a proactive approach, giving DBAs a tool to predict and address performance issues, while improving their productive and delivery capabilities."
The new version also features enhanced diagnostics for archiving. As archiving has become more complex - with different types of archive locations, mandatory and optional destinations, and minimums - it has also become increasingly difficult to monitor and manage. Spotlight simplifies the task by calculating time to failure, raising alerts when an archive destination or the archive process fails (or will soon fail), and providing a consolidated view of archive activity and health.
