SQL Sentry Introduces Content Pack for Microsoft Power BI

CHARLOTTE, N.C., May 5, 2015 /PRNewswire/ -- SQL Sentry, Inc., the developer of award-winning software for SQL Server, is pleased to announce the release of the Power BI content pack for SQL Sentry in June of this year. The SQL Sentry Cloud (cloud.sqlsentry.com) already provides web access to your SQL Sentry performance and event data from anywhere, and across any tablet or mobile device. The new Power BI content pack for SQL Sentry further extends these cloud capabilities to deliver analytics for key areas such as performance, downtime, disk utilization and operations.

"One of our original goals with cloud.sqlsentry.com was to build a service which is not only useful for database administrators, but also delivers useful, actionable information for ops teams and IT managers alike," said Greg Gonzalez, President and CEO, SQL Sentry. "Our new Power BI content pack brings us one step closer to achieving this goal."

The SQL Sentry Cloud team worked closely with Microsoft's Power BI team to create this exciting new service. With it, a SQL Sentry user can easily synchronize on-prem data to the cloud, and gain instant access to the Power BI content pack for SQL Sentry. In addition to pre-built dashboards and reports, users can quickly build custom reports on top of the exposed data model, and utilize Power BI's powerful natural language search for instant insights.

"Empowering more people to pull insights from data is a boost for any business," said James Phillips, Corporate Vice President of Microsoft's business intelligence product group. "With this collaboration, SQL Sentry customers will be able to connect and view their data from pre-built Power BI dashboards and reports that are updated continuously and automatically."

"We have long envisioned customizable, shareable and easily consumable dashboards and reports on top of the performance and operational data collected by SQL Sentry," said Rick Pittser, Product Manager, SQL Sentry. "Power BI makes this a reality in a simple to deploy, integrated fashion, delivering your SQL Sentry analytics alongside those from a variety of other sources such as Microsoft Dynamics CRM, Google Analytics and Marketo. How cool is that?"
