Case Study: University of Notre Dame achieves proactive SQL Server monitoring with Idera SQL Diagnostic Manager

The University of Notre Dame Enriches Student Services with IDERA

The University of Notre Dame’s Office of Information Technologies needed a cost-effective way to monitor a complex SQL Server environment spanning multiple campuses and 41 instances, while staying ahead of issues like storage pressure, memory constraints, and slow performance. To compare options, the university evaluated Idera’s SQL Diagnostic Manager against other SQL monitoring tools.

Idera’s SQL Diagnostic Manager was selected for its easy setup, flexible alerting, baselines, and dashboard views, and Notre Dame now uses it to monitor all production SQL Servers without needing extra tools or add-ons. The result has been better visibility, faster troubleshooting, improved productivity, and cost savings, while Idera’s SQL Permissions Extractor also saves time during application migrations by identifying security dependencies.
