Lepide Brings Out SQL Storage Manager

Lepide Software Pvt. Ltd. announces a tool to manage SQL Server Storage space and improve SQL Server Performance, SQL Storage Manager.

It aims at helping organizations and administrators observe and analyze capacity, track performance and storage space of all or individual Instances of SQL server through insightful reports and issue alerts on critical requirements and thus improving the efficiency and working standards of SQL Server.

Software with its features offers a single point access to multiple reports and forecasting information through which the database admins will be in a more powerful position to know what is happening where and in which disk, as far as SQL storage and performance is concerned.

The tool not only makes administrators aware of the capacity trending but also gives forecasted value of different storage and performance parameters. With such information, the admins will be able to maintain a healthy SQL Server environment and also be prepared for future advancements and upgrades. It further simplifies the monotonous tasks such as Defragmentation (automate it), Partitioning and Shrinking of SQL server database without using native services.

Some of the benefits of the software are:

• Save storage space and efficiently utilize available resources.
• Improve server performance through defragmentation and reorganizing Indexes and Heaps.
• Manage disk space by trending and forecasting disk usage and plan for future requirements well in advance.

Features of Software

• Automate defragmentation by defining thresholds level at which software launches defrag process.
• Shrink database, file groups and files to get more space out of the same storage area.
• Reorganize heap and indexes to improve search and data manipulation performance.
• Create, modify, remove and switch partitions to better manage storage space.
• Generate Overview, Storage Usage and Performance statistics reports for Instances, Database, Filegroups and Tables.
• Automate partitioning process for new data by creating sliding window scenario.
• Get real-time alerts on SQL events and database performance.
• Generate alerts on high fragmentation level of database objects – Tables, Indexes and Views.
• Find out per day disk space consumption rate and plan for future requirements accordingly.
• Schedule jobs such as defragmentation, shrinking, sliding window partitioning to run at specified time without human intervention.
