Organizations depend on business intelligence systems and processes to provide decision-makers with the information they need to make smart choices. DBAs are tasked with ensuring that SQL Server Analysis Services (SSAS) is ready to deliver that information quickly and efficiently. Having an operational performance view of your SQL Server is critical to ensuring that your multidimensional structures, reports and data mining processes are ready and capable of handling the demanding needs of your business. But how do you monitor and optimize SSAS performance to get the best business intelligence?
Spotlight on SQL Server Enterprise gives you the insight you need by providing a single, intuitive interface that shows SSAS performance and processing at a glance. The solution instantly alerts you to performance bottlenecks detected at the server level, and it provides metric-sensitive alarms to point you to the root causes of issues. For example, Spotlight on SQL Server Enterprise identifies bottlenecks related to memory and storage systems, aggregation usage and processing tasks competing for the same resources.
Plus, in addition to support for SSAS, the solution also provides monitoring, alerting, automation and reporting for Windows and SQL Server's Relational Engine - all in one product. This means you have a single installation process, a unified infrastructure, and cohesive workflows between the various components of your SQL Server environment. As a result, your organization benefits from a lower total cost of ownership and a higher return on your investment.
