“We needed to get metrics that both VMWare admins and DBAs could view in order to resolve performance problems and get to the root cause of issues instead of speculation and finger-pointing.”
“Solarwinds DPA was the only tool of its kind available that monitored both the hypervisor and the guest OS and allowed visibility into what other factors are impacting the virtual database servers. Before this, we had no method of proving that issues were query related as opposed to virtual hardware related.”
“DBAs and VM admins can now collaborate to resolve issues in a smoother manner. Reduced the amount of finger pointing and instead let us focus on resolving the issues.”
