Case Study: American Fidelity achieves 50% less database administration time with Idera SQL Diagnostic Manager

IDERA Helps Cut Database Administration Time 50%

American Fidelity, a leading insurance provider, was struggling to keep up with rapidly growing SQL Server database administration demands across a small DBA team. With limited time to monitor performance, fragmentation, and other key metrics, the company needed a better way to manage multiple databases without adding staff, and chose Idera’s SQL Diagnostic Manager.

Idera implemented SQL Diagnostic Manager to automate monitoring, alerts, and performance tracking from the DBA desktop, helping American Fidelity manage all databases more proactively. The results included a 50% reduction in database administration time, doubled DBA productivity, a 20% improvement in response time, and a database index size reduction from 24 GB to 14 GB.
