SQL Stripes Enterprise description
A complete, robust, fully scalable SQL Server online monitoring & alerting solution
SQL Stripes is an application that helps you, the SQL Server DBA, having complete control over your various SQL servers.
From the high-level of monitoring essential components - to the low-level of analyzing your various databases, tables, users, processes, logs and much more... (see more at the full feature list)
This is *not* another Query-Analyzer like tool, nor does it intend to be. The main concept of SQL Stripes is that each server gets a 'Stripe' (see image below) which contains valuable real-time data on the Server.
SQL Stripes is an intuitive and easy to use application, which is intended to make your DBA life much easier.
On a high level, SQL Stripes can automate many of your daily tasks as a DBA and alert you if anything goes wrong.
It is being developed by a DBA and therefore provides solution to the real day to day problems that (I) DBAs come across.
