Case Study: VCE achieves faster SQL Server monitoring and outage prevention with Idera SQL Diagnostic Manager

VCE Selects IDERA Over Quest for SQL Server Monitoring and Administration

VCE, a growing infrastructure leader supporting mission-critical SQL Server applications, needed a faster way to monitor database health without spending hours each morning running manual checks and hunting for issues. The team evaluated Quest Foglight and Idera’s SQL Diagnostic Manager, looking for a single dashboard with automated alerts, deep diagnostics, and a complete view of their SQL Server environment.

Idera implemented SQL Diagnostic Manager and the SQL Admin Toolset, giving VCE immediate notifications, centralized monitoring, and easier administration. The solution quickly uncovered an impending outage with only two days to spare, helped the team identify and fix issues faster, and replaced cumbersome manual work with one-view visibility; today VCE monitors 42 servers with Idera and uses it to track performance, predict hardware needs, and detect failovers.
