Case Study: Mechanical Dynamics And Analysis

“My previous experience with Ignite was in a similarly high-loaded transactional environment. Ignite was essential in diagnosing bottlenecks in data layers.”

“It tracks usage and pinpoints causes of problems in ways that I can’t image we would be able to determine with any other tools. Built-in SQL Server tools like profiler and query plan analysis would not be able to replace the view that DPA gives us.”

Challenges

  • Purchased DPA to:
    • Improve end-user response time (application performance)
    • Improve database performance
    • Accelerate root-cause identification for performance problems
    • Monitor overall health of our databases and be alerted when issues arise
    • Help database professionals spend less time looking for problems inside the database

Use Case

  • Platforms:
    • Windows
    • VMWare
  • Database engines:
    • SQL Server

Results

  • Realized the following benefits as a result of using DPA:
    • Increased database performance and end user experience
    • Improved visibility into their environment and improved collaboration (less finger pointing for troubleshooting)
    • Achieved faster problem resolution and more proactive management of databases
    • Gained time to focus on more important or strategic parts of my job
    • Has the ability to find problems that were hard or impossible to find before
