SQL Sentry Introduces Power Suite v7.2 at PASS Community Summit

SEATTLE, Nov. 7, 2012 /PRNewswire/ -- SQL Sentry, Inc., the developer of award-winning software for Microsoft SQL Server, introduced today at the PASS Community Summit, the v7.2 release candidate of their SQL Sentry Power Suite. The Power Suite continues its category dominance as the most complete monitoring solution with seamless history tracking and the lowest documented server overhead. The new features of v7.2 fall into three main categories: Query Plan Analysis, Windows Monitoring, and History/Alert Filtering. v7.2 includes two exciting new products: Performance Advisor for Windows and Event Manager for Windows. The release candidate was recently published, and can be downloaded from the SQL Sentry customer portal linked on www.sqlsentry.net.

"Our product focus has always been to provide unsurpassed insight and awareness over the performance of your monitored SQL Servers and we have continued to enhance the functionality of our Power Suite. But for many years we've received requests for the ability to monitor any Windows Server computer, such as one running SharePoint, IIS, SSRS, or SSIS services, but no SQL Server or SSAS services. Performance Advisor for SQL Server has actually always had Windows Server monitoring built in – it's effectively the left-hand side of the dashboard – the problem was, you only got it if you also had SQL Server or SSAS installed on the machine," said Greg Gonzalez, President and CEO of SQL Sentry. "I'm happy to say that not only has this restriction been removed in the new Performance Advisor for Windows, but when combined with the new Event Manager for Windows you now have truly unprecedented capabilities for monitoring Windows Server performance."

"Expanding our innovative monitoring onto Windows servers is such an exciting step," said Kevin Kline, Director of Engineering Services and SQL Server MVP. "SQL Sentry has been writing great tools for the SQL Server market for years. Now, SQL Sentry is delivering some of the most innovative and empowering tools for other layers of the Microsoft stack. I'm looking forward to demonstrating and discussing v7.2 with all my friends at the PASS Community Summit."

• Query Plan Analysis
• Windows Server Monitoring
