Case Study: Chaucer Holdings PLC achieves streamlined SQL Server monitoring and compliance reporting with Idera

Chaucer PLC Streamlines SQL Server Monitoring and Reports with Idera

Chaucer Holdings PLC, a specialist London Stock Exchange-listed insurance and reinsurance group, needed better ways to monitor a large number of SQL Server instances, generate overview and exception reports, and automate auditing for compliance. Its DBA team also wanted to reduce the time spent on manual reporting and improve visibility into server performance during normal operations and peak periods. Idera helped address these needs with tools including SQL Diagnostic Manager, SQL Compliance Manager, SQL Defrag Manager, and SQL Safe.

With Idera, Chaucer centralized SQL Server monitoring, auditing, backups, and defragmentation from one console, enabling proactive alerts, compliance reporting, and easier recovery. The team gained baseline insight into server utilization, received automatic email/page alerts when thresholds were exceeded, and reduced backup time and storage needs. Idera also automated index maintenance, saving significant DBA time and improving productivity across the SQL environment.
