Case Study: Chevron achieves 24/7 SQL monitoring with Idera SQL Diagnostic Manager

Chevron Gets Its Sql Pipeline Under Control With Sql Diagnostic Manager

Chevron, a multinational Oil & Gas company with a rapidly growing SQL Server environment, needed a better way to manage more than 200 instances after relying on Microsoft’s native Management Studio tools became too slow and manual. Chevron’s DBA team turned to Idera’s SQL Diagnostic Manager to gain more effective troubleshooting, historical visibility, and remote support for its expanding database infrastructure.

Idera implemented SQL Diagnostic Manager as an easy-to-deploy, agent-free monitoring and diagnostics solution with a consolidated enterprise-wide console. The result was better visibility into blocking, locking, and resource usage across multiple servers, plus more efficient performance tuning; Chevron reported saving around 15–20% of its time gathering performance data, the equivalent of nearly one full resource salary.
