As SQL Server environments continue to grow, so does the management and performance complexity. DBAs are now challenged with managing hundreds to thousands of SQL Server instances in multiple physical locations and the cloud - plus, needing to manage rollouts, patching, maintenance plans, best practice settings, scheduled tasks, monitoring, alerting, and performance issues. It is often overwhelming.
One solution transforming how SQL Server DBAs work is dbWatch. dbWatch has introduced dbWatch Control Center, a powerful automation tool for today's demanding database environment scenarios to manage individual SQL Server instances and the overall SQL Server Farm in one application.
